Fresh and Green - Flower Ad Dresser

I recently painted an old hand-made dresser a bright, fresh spring green and hand-painted a flower/bulb advertisement on the front to provide interest. The paint was then distressed and new hardware added for this dresser makeover!

Milk Paint Dresser Rehab

I found this great dresser in an old barn, but was completely filthy and needed a lot of work. A sunny afternoon, a little elbow grease, and some milk paint helped bring this dresser back to life!

    lovely rugs & good information. Another suggestion...measure ALL the spaces in your home that ...»
    might need a rug. I've often been searching for something specific, candlesticks for example, and I'll find a rug that I like but I don't have the sizes so i miss out. A business card holder works well to keep in your purse...I've used the cards to record curtain sizes, colors, china names, a wish list. I just throw it in there and pull it out when I find a deal. I get a bargain and have fewer returns.

Little Girl's French-Inspired Room

A few years back I found an amazing antique twin bed that was in desperate need of repair. My talented step-father was able to re-construct the wood headboard and save the bed for my ...»
youngest daughter to use. With thrift store and Craig's List finds like the striped settee ($50), dresser ($60), end table ($15), and little chairs ($30) that I re-habbed, I was also able to put the french-inspired room together for very little. Now my daughter has a sweet and pretty little room to call home.
