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…
Hello, friend! Things have been getting busier around here with my next market just over a month away, which means lots of projects in the works! Also I have been working on something really exciting behind the scenes which you will be hearing about soon. 🙂 But first, a new makeover! An upcycled record cabinet. […] Read more…
Who’s ready for spring – or at least a spring-y makeover? I’ve been itching to do another bookcase makeover, but good ones are hard to find in my area.

One type of furniture that always used to intimidate me was anything that might bleed through, especially reddish stained pieces. I even thought about painting this one a dark color like Graphite, but decided to go light anyway and just trust my favorite primer. (And I’m glad I did!) Haha… were you thinking this was […] Read more…
Guys, this Before pic may not look too bad but trust me, this antique highboy was T-R-A-S-H-Y. It had all kinds of bad issues, but I didn’t even realize it at first because my mom found it at a yard sale and then my husband went and picked it up. When he got home and […] Read more…
You guys, I do not advise going into a dark basement in an empty house for a piece of furniture. That’s what I did for this dresser, and it was worth it, but I won’t say that I wasn’t a little creeped out while I was there! Thankfully the woman who sold it to me […] Read more…
