You guys. Remember how I told you last week about my recent little Goodwill shopping spree when I shared the $6 vintage vanity bench that I redid? Well this big beautiful beast was the big score that day – only $36 on sale! Sure it had chips and scratches, a few of the feet had […] Read more…
Winter is a tough season, isn’t it? With the freezing temps and tons of snow we get in Indiana, I don’t do as many furniture makeovers. So I try to get creative in other ways – like with projects small enough to do in my house where I can stay nice and warm. 🙂 This […] Read more…
Hello my lovely friends! I’ve been hanging onto this makeover until today’s Furniture Fixer Uppers post with my blogging buddies (see their makeovers at the bottom) – it shows you what a difference a simple paint job can do to a piece with so much potential… This antique sideboard came from a sweet couple who […] Read more…
Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other is gold. I love new makeovers, but I also love revisiting some favorite makeovers from the past.

There was a Facebook ad for an antique sideboard, and when I went to see it they kindly also showed me this desk and then bundled the price together so I pretty much couldn’t refuse buying both. I jokingly said, “I’m going to blame you […] Read more…
This midcentury bookcase was an impulse buy, but for $12 how could I pass it up? You really can’t go wrong with buying a vintage bookcase to upcycle; almost everyone needs more shelf space in their home. As it waited for its update, I considered decoupaging paper onto the back like this bookcase makeover I […] Read more…
The market was fast approaching, and even though I had some really neat pieces ready to bring – a vanity, sideboard, desk, bookcase, chairs – I didn’t have a regular dresser (not that I’d hardly call this piece “regular”). So I searched for several days and finally found this pretty oak highboy – so. much. […] Read more…
