Last week I refinished this fab table to help contain the insanity that is my entryway, but there was still the issue of all that mish mash mess under the table. I found this at the thrift store and turned it into this! She is a bit beat up, but she is big and I ... continue reading

I painted them both black and then distressed them a bit. I stenciled both of the back rests. I found some super fun 70's ... continue reading

Back at it with the chalk paint! This time I had to try black. When I visited and toured The Little Black Chair warehouse, they were working on an A-MA-ZING black armoire. So, I decided this pair of cruddy chairs could use the black homemade chalk paint treatment. $2.95 each baby! What a steal I ... continue reading

Buying any kind of new wood furniture is like insane to me. You can find such amazing and sturdy pieces in thrift stores, at garage sales, and on craigslist every day.

Hands down, my fave-fave-fave project to date. Let me paint a picture....

Her pricetag read $25.99 and I ... continue reading

Wooden Pallet Dresser DIY Upcycle, Recycle, Repurpose copy

I still had 6 wooden pallets in my garage from a neighbors sod delivery. They were super happy to get rid of the pallets so easily, but my husband wept as he said goodby to his garage parking space. (I'm exaggerating-kinda). I was tired of hearing his crying, so I got to thinking and came ... continue reading
