I had bought this single chair at a yard sale, it was cheap – $1.50. I can’t pass that up. I knew I would be able to make it look pretty. Don’t judge the disastrous state of my workroom at that point!! 😉 I was craving something different, specifically color. So many of my pieces […]
Striped Side Table
So….it’s been a while!! But, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. I’ve actually done more projects than normal, but I’ve really just been focusing on doing what I feel like doing. So, that meant more painting, projects, relaxing and less computer/blogging time. But now I’m refreshed and excited to share one of my recent projects with you. […]
Stenciled End Table
I found this nice end table at the Goodwill store a few months ago. The leg wobbled a bit when I found it, but I knew the screws just needed tightened and it definitely needed some paint for a fresh new look. But, for only $4.97, how could I resist?! I knew that I wanted to try something different […]
Chalk Paint Dresser Makeover
Bob and I just returned from a great week of vacation! We spent part of the week at the beach and part at home and it was just wonderful to have a slower pace for a while. I really did enjoy it. Today was back to reality and work though!! I finished this dresser up […]
DIY Plant Stand Makeover
I had this little plant stand around the house, and while we used it many places before it wasn’t in use anymore, so I decided to give it a makeover. When we first moved into our house, Bob had this plant stand and it was unfinished. I had the great idea to stain it, but […]
Ugly to Pretty Version 2.0
A few months ago, you may recall that I shared the ugly to pretty chairs and when I ended that post I only had one finished, which had a mistake to fix and I had messed up the other one. Well, these chairs tried to get the best of me!! I never was able to find […]
Our Living Room
I’m discovering that Winter time poses an additional challenge for me, besides just trying to get through the short, dark cold days. The lack of daylight hours that I am home has proven difficult in trying to get photos for blogging. My photography needs all the help it can get, so when the sun was […]
Bamboo Chairs – Before and After
I took my mother-in-law on one of my recent thrift shopping adventures. We were actually shopping for her, she wanted to find a new nightstand. But, of course I had fun looking as well. We both lucked out at Charlie’s Used Furniture in Lancaster. As she was checking out nightstands, I was just browsing the […]
Not the look I was going for…
I purchased this little table for $5 during our neighbordhood yardsale. I posted this picture of it before saying it was in process, which was quite a while ago, but DIY does not always go as planned. It had definitely seen better days, but since it was so rough looking I thought it would be […]
My FREE Corner Shelf
So, I teased before about the free corner shelf that I found when I was out yardsale shopping. This is what it looked like the last time you saw it. In order to keep it a free project, I had to use what I had in my supplies already. Fortunately, I won a quart of […]
