Happy Independence day to my American friends, and Happy belated Canada Day to our friends up north! Today, I’ve pulled together 18 Smaller Projects using transfers!
I shared this fantastic furniture round up on Friday:
See all of these before and afters HERE if you missed them.
These smaller projects were made beautiful again too:
Enjoy these Smaller Projects Using Transfers!
1
Up first is this thrift store box:
I used leftovers from the Pretty in Blue transfer on this pretty little box as well as a couple of pieces from the Somewhere in France transfer. That’s the great thing about transfers…you can cut them up and use them anyway you like!
See the whole makeover HERE.

This picnic basket makeover was also done from leftover pieces of transfer that I originally used on this dresser:
The transfer took it to a whole new level! This is the Rose Celebration transfer.
See that whole makeover HERE.

Next up is this $5 thrift store flatware box:
I used the Gingham Black transfer to add a bit of mini check whimsy to this box.
See that whole makeover HERE.
4
This vintage sewing box was a fan favorite:
This is the French Ceramics Transfer.

5
This next piece is one of my personal favorites! I think that’s because it is so far from where it started!
The Botanical Paradise transfer was perfect for this tea kettle arrangement!
See the whole makeover HERE.
6
This next piece was headed for the trash after Brennan decided it would make a good chair, but luckily, I was able to save it!
This is the Gilded Floral Transfer.

7
This old cigar box and dated thrift store decor were combined to create sweet new wall decor:
Thanks to the Classic Vintage Labels mini transfers.

I used another transfer from the same set to help bring this needy tote to life:

This next one was debatable as to whether or not I could save it, but in the end, I think I did it!
This is the Blossom Flight transfer.

Here’s a more recent redo that started out as this dated family photo frame:
This is the Blue Gardens transfer.

These frames were given to me by a neighbor, and I knew transfers would fix them right up!
Those gorgeous lavender bunches are from the Lavender Bunch transfer, and I only used a few pieces on them!

12
A couple more frame projects to go! This is one I turned into a shelf!
This is the Dainty Blooms transfer.

13
Here’s another frame idea! This one was also turned into artwork using a transfer!
This is the Champs de Lavende transfer. There are three pieces similar to this in this transfer, so you could do a set of three prints!

This is one of three small frames I turned into trays in one post:
Here’s a peek at the others and at how they started:
The Antebellum Blue one was my favorite using the White Magnolia Transfer and scraps from the Flower Collector transfer.
See them all HERE.
15
These lamps were pretty to start, so a little glaze is all they needed. Then the shades got a fancy upgrade with transfers!
This is the Antique Damask transfer.
See the whole makeover HERE.
(And see another lamp shade upgraded with a transfer HERE.)
16
This cabinet door was headed for the trash:
Thanks to the Delicate Roses transfer, it has a pretty new purpose!

How about a Christmas one? Too soon?? Christmas in July? This transfer sold out last year, so I ordered early this time!
This is from the Xmas Tag transfer.

I’ll finish with my favorite smaller project using transfers, this organizer box I redid and shared not too long ago:
This is the Bouquet for my Love transfer, and I just love it!
You can visit this makeover HERE.
Transfers are such an easy way to bring all your makeovers, large or small, to life!
I’ll be back here on Thursday with a brand new makeover!
This box is getting an update with one of the new Cottage Collection colors from Dixie Belle’s chalk mineral paint line:
These are the new colors available in my Etsy shop now if you missed them:
Any guesses as to which color I chose??
UPDATE: No need to wait…see what color I chose HERE now!

Oh it is so fun to look at all those beautiful makeovers. I especially love the tea kettle!! I hope your using the new color Secret Path! I am curious what that color looks like in person! Have a happy 4th of July!!
Christy says
Thank you, Mary! I know you love that tea kettle lol! I do love Secret Path too! Enjoy your 4th of July as well!! XOXO
Cecilia says
Hmmm, what color did you use? No clue. I love the names of them…Secret Path, Cobblestone, etc. I think you picked Cucumber Ice. Or maybe Weeping Willow. Lol, I really don’t have a clue. As for all the smalls, I love how each one got new life and pretty-fied with the transfers. Can I come play at your house? You have all the cool stuff! Lol.
Happy 4th of July! Hope you have a great one.
😊Cecilia
Christy says
Happy 4th of July, Cecilia! I love just about all of the colors, so it was hard to choose which one to start with. And yes, come play!! We would have a ball!! XOXO
