This cedar chest was a custom order I receive from a grandma who wanted to gift her soon-to-be teenage granddaughter. She wanted something unique and useful, that her granddaughter would be able to enjoy for many years to come. I found this chest on Craigslist for a $70. It was in pretty bad shape. Missing veneer, scratches everywhere, even a broken foot. It took me several hours to repair and prep this piece before I could start painting it. After I cleaned and primed the chest… Painting Laminate Furniture, Paint Furniture, Furniture Ideas, Cottage Furniture, Furniture Refinishing, Upcycled Furniture, Cabinet Refinishing, Repurposed Dresser, Refinished Furniture

This dresser was a score! I found it at value village for 9$.... it needed love for sure but who wouldn’t attempt to at that price ?! my vision for this was my usual safe zone, white and brown wood. BUT thankfully country chic paint sent me a can of lazy linen to try on a piece of mine, so I thought I’d give it a shot! I’d love to hear what you think. I’d love the support and feedback also on my Instagram!

Do you need a pair of small, but tall nightstands or end tables? Most vintage nightstands and end tables are super short, and it's hard to find a pair these days!We have the solution though!

I’ve had this table for years. It was inexpensive and is made from pine which I bought stained with some kind of wax finish on it. I had replaced the chairs that came with it for white ones and two years ago I painted the legs white and left the top as it was. However, over time the wax finish rubbed off and it was impossible to clean the surface which left the table top full of stains and dried on food mess. So I decided it was time to finish it off and create a practical surface read… Diy Kissing Ball, Easy Diy Candy, Long Curtain Rods, Book Christmas Tree, Chandelier Makeover, Picture Molding, Glass Light Shades, Farmhouse Style Table, Diy Dining Table

Hey my friends! On one of my "treasure hunting" adventures, I spotted this solid wood bookcase. As soon as I saw it, I knew it had great potential. The backer board was in pretty rough shape. I removed it with a screwdriver and pliers. Next, it was time to give this bookcase a good cleaning. It was very dirty and the nutrition stickers had to go.

We both LOVE the Restoration Hardware style, but the price "YIKES" is out of our budget! We had been eyeing a bed at Restoration Hardware with that vintage coastal style and it was nearly $3000, but luckily we are DIY’ers and we have come up with a simple 3 step process to achieve their wood finish. Steph bought this bed after graduation from high school. She was anxious to spend all that $ she was making!

What a project! Took an originally beautiful decorative chair that was destined for the trash, but decided to give it some love and attention instead. Now I am so proud of it. The best part---I did it all without sewing a thing! Ugh! This is what I had to start with. Not shown are the patterns I drew by placing cloth material against each section of the chair (arms, front, back, and seat), and tracing around it.

I picked up some lamps for $5 each at the thrift store. They were the perfect choice when I needed a project for my Modern Masters Patina Kit. Keep reading to see how easy this was...or is! These were the two brass lamps I picked up. I wanted them to be about the same height but different in shape. I am not sure why this thrift store has to put so many labels and stickers on each product but they do. I removed the stickers and cleaned off the lamps really well.Modern Masters sup… Lamp Makeover, Lamp Redo, Light Up Canvas, Old Washing Machine, Diy Entryway, Concrete Lamp, Dixie Belle Paint
