I bought this chair at a used furniture store and re-painted it black in gloss paint. I re-covered it with metallic patterned thread fabric, also from a second hand store. The black paint tends to get scraped off in places, but the rough grain of the wood makes it so that you can't notice spots that I have touched up.

Wallpaper Chest of Drawers
This was a cream coloured chest of drawers until I unscrewed and painted the drawer knobs and covered each individual drawer in patterned wallpaper. I then painted the bottom, top and side sections of the chest of drawers black using strips of masking tape as guidelines. I used gloss paint and 3 different patterns of wallpaper to make a contrast. Some of the rolls of paper had adhesive on the back, which made it easy to stick to the surface of the drawers.

Cheap Chandelier Redesigned
This is a chandelier I found at Home Depot, on sale for some ridiculously reasonable price, $40 I think, but I can't remember exactly. I painted it black instead of the existing gold and I used the arms to hang up decorations, these christmas tree ornaments. The tassle is too keep me from hitting my head on it, since the ceiling is pretty low and I removed all the chain.
