About Me:

I LOVE to find old/discarded items and make them beautiful and one of a kind! Throw in some paint for a great craft project and I'm in heaven.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Repurposing, hands down!

from BEAST to BEAUTY. Custom Sea Glass colored antique dresser redo

Head on over and check out how I took this Beast of a dresser and made it BEAUTIFUL again. It took a ton of work including stripping veneer and buying a belt sander, but I think it was worth the work. What do you think?
