Hello again, friend! Today is Trash to Treasure Tuesday, one of my favorite days of the month because my blogging friends all get together and share makeovers of thrifted or free items. I had saved these book covers from a former project and couldn’t bear to throw them away… And here’s the former project – […] Read more…
When selling refinished furniture, pricing can be an uncomfortable topic. You want to make a nice profit for all the work you did, but will anyone pay the price you’re considering asking?

Hello again, dear friend! Today’s new project – an antique serpentine dresser makeover – is what you’d call trashy to classy.

Today is Trash to Treasure Tuesday with my blogging friends, which means there are four […] Read more…
A local thrift store posted a photo of this antique dresser on their Facebook page, and you bet I drove over there immediately – wouldn’t you? 🙂 I brought my 2-year-old son along for the fun – thankfully I have a pretty big SUV. It was on sale for about $60 I think. It was […] Read more…
This thrifted pair of nesting tables would’ve looked cute on a cottage porch somewhere, with a big glass of sweet tea on top.
