Before & after cute green nightstand
I love this adorable nightstand hand painted by Bricolage’s own Nancy!
There were great details in the shape of this nightstand that deserved some sort of punch to stand out, so instead of going bright we went with a soothing green for the base and an off white/grey for the hand painted design. This piece would be great as a nightstand but would look great in a living room as well!

Before & after round wood table with gold accents.
A beautiful side table that just needed a bit of loving and a punch of color, in this case, gold! This table has the perfect lines for an accent color so we took the natural definitions and painted them gold. We also did a gold tipped leg and a gold honey comb design on top. The top of the table had an interesting naturally worn pattern on it, so we sanded the top, painted a light wash, added the honeycomb design and put a stain over the whole top and wood.

Before & after mid-century modern ombre cabinet.
This was a fabulous find besides the fact that it was missing its legs! Luckily we had some mid-century tapered legs that matched perfectly! We had been wanting to do an ombre piece like this and the wood slat doors presented the perfect canvas. We decided to do a green from dark to light. There was a bit of damage on the top so we repaired it and decided to paint the whole body a light greenish yellow.

Before and after of the new Venice Beach swinging bench!
This is the second swinging bench we have done and boy are they great!
A family in Venice Beach, Ca. saw the last bench on our blog and said if we ever found another one that they would love it! And to our luck we found another, although this one is a bit smaller but has the bonus side tables! They opted for a green color and in the end decided on a similar color as the first bench! It is a beautiful bright and vibrant green!
So we took a road trip from Oakland, Ca. and delivered they bench to its new home! They just had new rocks and shells put in their front yard and the bench really pops against the cool tones and melds well with the colors of their home!
We are so happy that this family gets to enjoy swinging in their new bench on the beautiful days in Venice Beach!
