Using Chalk paint, dark wax and a little imagination, I transformed a sad cast off oak side table that had a broken drawer and cigarette burns in the top. Simple transformation in under an hour.

A free Lazy Susan gets a smart makeover

I got this tired old Lazy Susan for free at a garage sale. I knew I wanted it to retain it's purpose but it definitely could look a bit sharper. I added some typography (abc's) using stain to give it a striking graphic look

D.I.Y. pallet wall

Figure out how many pallets needed for the size of the project and salvage them if you can. Clean and sand them slightly, then cut off the nails keeping the nail heads showing, which ...»
looked great! The wall this pallet were adhering to was a concrete wall, so first plywood wood was glued on and anchored to the wall.

Then stagger the planks on the floor to get an idea of how it was going to look once it was up on the wall. Then cut the end pieces with a chop saw, which is the best tool for this job. it will give nice straight cuts.

Old Door to Chalkboard Door

After seeing this old door at the thrift store for a LONG time, and hearing it call "buy me, I'm such a great deal!" for months, I finally gave in, brought it home and gave it a makeover.
