Revived Antiques from Ghost Furniture

Looking for some out-of-the-ordinary DIY ideas? British shop Ghost Furniture is a good place to start. Like Dr. Frankenstein, they revive once-dead furniture by combining a hodgepodge of parts into a new creature. Items are constructed from antiques and flea market finds treated with new coats of paint, new upholstery, and new appendages. Click below for a few examples...

Vintage Cutlery + Antique Frame = Eat 9 Frame

Antique Side Table + Corner of Lace = Laced Up Table

Salon Chair + Riding Jacket = Miss Anne Chair

Antique Bench + Russian Linen = Salon Chaise

Antique Frame + Patisserie Tins = Petit Patisserie Frame

Leather Chair + Gold Embroidery = Retro Chic

These are amazing. I have been in the mood to find and refurbish some furniture lately, and these lovely pictures have me feeling inspired. I love the lace table, and the miss anne chair.

I am ready to finish a blond 60's modern desk from Craig's list. Great inspiration. Considering mosaic or decoupage paper desk top, topped with glass. I love the phrase "reviving dead furniture". That really says it. Especially when pieces are found in the trash.
