Meet Kathie at A Few Good Pieces

It's time to "meet" another one of the followers here at The Hand Me Down House!  YAY!  I'm so excited to be getting to know you gals even more!

Today I'd like to introduce you to Kathie at A Few Good Pieces.


 Kathie is a furniture refinishing maniac!  She's been transforming sad pieces into gorgeous decor ever since she was a teenager.  And I just LOVE the story of how she got started!  After her grandmother passed away she wanted her antique furniture so bad that she convinced her parents to ship them from Memphis to their own home in Atlanta for over a thousand dollars.  And from there it's turned into a few good pieces.  So while she's new to blogging -- she's definitely not new to furniture restoration.   (You can read more about Kathie and her story here).  Let me show you some of her gorgeous redos:

After Kathie gets her hands on them, they are JUST perfect, aren't they?!

And in case you're wondering HOW she does her magic, she's got a nice spot on on her blog where she gives you the "how-to" run down.  You can check out all her furniture tips here.

Aaand....if you LOVE Kathie's "Good Pieces" -- take a look at the furniture she has available for purchase! It's just beautiful!










Thank you SO much, Kathie for sharing your blog with us!  I'm just in love with the furniture you makeover -- it's just perfect!

Be sure to stop by A Few Good Pieces and say "hi" to Kathie too! :)
