The Best of 2012 Furniture Revivals A Revival Review

Pin It

 


Putting together this Southern Revivals Best of 2012 Furniture Revivals really put things into perspective for me. Like first of all, where does a year go anymore?? You blink and you might just miss it! And second, it’s hard for me to believe Southern Revivals isn’t even a year old yet. While some of my posts date back to 2011 I technically didn’t start my business until April of 2012. All posts prior to that were originally posted on my personal blog well before I started Southern Revivals.

I am amazed at how much has been accomplished in such a short time especially since most of it was totally unplanned and certainly unexpected. I feel very blessed and grateful and not a day goes by that I don’t feel like pinching myself just to make sure this is all real.

So, here’s the best of 2012 as determined by your visits to my blog and here’s to an even better 2013 for each and every one of us! Cheers!

A Full Room Furniture Revival

And it all started here! Just remember, if you want to start a new business, corner the least likely member of your family to say ‘No’ and ask them to be your guinea pig. See more pics of the process and get the whole scoop here.

Pottery Barn Inspired Dresser Revival

And when I posted this gem little did I know that you guys would like it so much you’d pin it to Pinterest a whopping 35,656 times!! Get the deets on my Pottery Barn inspired dresser revival right, here!

From Vintage to Modern – Horchow Inspired Revival

This is one of my personal favorites! While it was gorgeous to start with, in my opinion, sometimes we appreciate something a little more modern. And that’s exactly what this Horchow inspried revival was all about. See the transformation here.

The Teal Twins ~ End tables Revival

Talk about a fan favorite! I’m afraid you guys are going to egg my house if I don’t tell you EXACTLY how I did this! Right. Now. Well, I just might. {You’ll want to be subscribed to my Southern Revivals YouTube Channel to find out!} Until then, check out the Twins’ Revival, here.

1970’s French Provencal Dresser Becomes A Buffet

This one I wanted to keep for myself! It comes complete with monogrammed pulls!! See the awesome transformation that surprised even me, right here.

Uncle Joe’s 1800’s Dresser

I love the story behind this piece! I’ll give you a hint, it involves the King of England! Read all about it and see how much work was involved in this antique revival, here.

A China Hutch Revival

This is one of those transformations that sits with you for a while. I loved it before, during and after I finished it but ever since it’s gone on to it’s new home I have to walk by the perfect spot for it in mine. Then of course I’m reminded that nothing so lovely will ever come along again. Ok. Maybe that’s not quite true but I still wish I had kept it! You know how you find the perfect piece in the store but decide to wait on getting it only to go back and find it’s not there. You get that sinking feeling and then you long for it for like, ever. See why, here.

Just Another Pottery Barn Inspired Dresser Revival

And this one I did keep! It’s sitting in my entryway as I type. You’ll never guess what I store in there. Find out here!

Vintage Chest of Drawers Revival

One of my most recent revivals. I’m in love with how it turned out – even though I had to practically rebuild it. I’m looking for another one like it to do for my son’s room. Can you guess what the top is made from? Find out here.
And there you have it! Southern Revivals Best of 2012. I have some great new things planned for the new year. Exciting things happening, too. I can’t wait for 2013. But I’m curious, if you could choose, what would you like to see from Southern Revivals in 2013?

Happy New Year!
Jamie Lott

    Wow Jamie! Each one of these is awesome. The very first project gives me great inspiration for my own furniture that I’m very tired of. Happy New Year!

    While I love Uncle Joe’s dresser – I have to say the winner for me is the Horchow one! I love a little modern mixed with vintage. Here’s to a wonderful new year Jamie!

    I feel like just painting old furniture white instantly makes it look better not completely but gives it a little more pop I should do that with my old furniture before I get rid of it paint it white and see if I love it all over again

    Hi Jamie,
    I am looking to redo my kitchen table just like you did with your teal end tables. I subscribed to your YouTube page but can’t find the tutorial on how to do it. Can you help me out please? I love how the end table turned out!

      Hi Leigh,
      I actually didn’t do a tutorial on these end tables. Really I just stripped the tops, restained in Dark Walnut and painted the bottoms in Gypsy Teal by Valspar and distressed. Maybe I’ll revisit the need for a tutorial on these. Thanks!
