Let's face it... everyone needs a makeover from time to time!
Thirty Eighth Street is a blog dedicated to turning the furniture impossible into the possible!
We love the process of repurposing, reusing and recycling second hand furniture and refinishing them into high end looking furniture pieces.
We're firm believers that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to decorate your home and our mission is to demonstrate this one piece at a time.
We hope that by looking through our painted furniture before and afters and reading our furniture refinishing tutorials that you'll feel inspired, informed and empowered to tackle your OWN furniture makeovers.
Return often to get the latest and most up to date furniture makeover ideas!
We get asked this alot! Most of the furniture projects we work on have a story. We think those stories are worth telling. For some people their furniture pieces have a real sentimental value.
For others, their furniture is really easy to part with. But when they see the "after", almost all of them can't believe it's the same piece of furniture!
Some of these pieces have traveled great distances and have seen many decades and so have their owners.
We enjoy meeting the people behind our furniture pieces. Learning and listening to their stories is just as much as fun as the furniture makeover itself!
Want to learn more about us?
