French Country Dressing Table Makeover

Using chalk paint and a ragging paint technique I give this dark dressing table a light and airy French Country inspired makeover.

Boho Stenciled Dresser

This dresser started off in rough shape. It was painted almost completely black and not done well at that. I sanded the entire dresser down to the wood grain, except for the top. I only did a rough sanding on the top because I knew I would be repainting it. I rough sanded the top with an 80 grit sanding block and then a 120 grit sanding block. I used a combination of my power sander and hand sanding for the rest of the piece. Once I had everything sanded down the way I wanted it I stained the drawers and let them dry over night. After staining the drawers I used my stencil to apply a design to the front of the two larger drawers. I painted the base in between staining the drawers and adding the stenciled design.

Mudroom Makeover

Hi friends!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!Having four boys, it seems like it is a constant chore to keep all the backpacks, jackets, and shoes put away, so I decided to give my mudroom a little makeover to add a few more hooks for jackets/backpacks and shelves for shoes.Here is my mudroom before…

Patio Furniture Makeover

Spring has been a long time coming this year. Yesterday was -10 degrees Celsius, today it is +17 degrees! That's mother nature for ya. But enough already!. I love my patio furniture set and I have had it for many years. It is still in great condition but really doesn't suit my personality. I seen these patio cushions last year and fell in love with all the bright colors but it wasn't in my budget. This year browsing my Canadian Tire store there were the cushions that I fell in love with last year and they were on clearance. Definitely fate! I took this as a sign I was meant to have them. So began my makeover.

Refinishing Your Patio Furniture

With better weather just around the corner, now is the time to think about cleaning up your patio furniture. Our cast metal outdoor furniture had oxidized over time by over exposure to the summer sun. With little prep and expense, you can improve and revitalize your patio furniture.

Early 1800's Antique Dresser

I bought this dresser at an online auction. Based on the condition of the veneer that I saw in the photos, I thought it would be a perfect candidate for painting. But it turns out it was about 100 years older than I initially thought. Based on the materials, hardware, and handcrafted construction I estimate the dresser was made in the early 1800’s.

Waterfall Makeover to the Rescue.

After buying some beautiful stencils I could not wait to try one of them out. The perfect vehicle for this was a Waterfall Chest that needed a major makeover.

Much Better Now

I picked up this mid century modern dresser on my local Facebook marketplace. I knew it has been refinished by the previous owner, but when I picked it up you could still smell the paint... anyway I knew I would sand it back down and create a design/color combo that is much more modern.

How to Make an Old Dresser Into Media Cabinet or Buffet

I spotted this old dresser with a missing drawer covered with junk in a thrift shop. What if I took that drawer guide out , and called it a media cabinet or buffet instead? Why not? Even I can do that!

Repurposed Orange Dresser Into Farmhouse Pantry Cabinet

As many of you may already know, I love taking a piece of furniture and giving it an entirely different look and use. I feel this makes the piece unique and one-of-a-kind, as well as a statement piece. One that can’t be found in any furniture store.I found this dresser on Facebook Marketplace. It was local, which is always a plus! It had a few dings and scratches but nothing that could not be repaired. I paid $70.00 which I thought was an awesome deal.

A Boring Dresser Gets an Epic Suitcase Makeover

Don't you just love those pictures of vintage suitcases stacked one on top of the other. There’s just something about the look that makes me think of a life well-traveled and filled with adventure and I really wanted my own stack of suitcases sooo badly. But they’re so hard to find and terribly expensive. We needed to make another plan. And the plan involved this boring pine chest of drawers.

My Precious

My friend (and if you read any of my other posts you know exactly 'which friend' I'm talking about) had a dresser in her bedroom. I wanted it. Like bad.She had tried to find me one like it, but I ended up with 'Gerard' (Garage Garbage finds new life) instead. While Gerard turned out wonderful, he still was not a good fit for what I needed in my bathroom. Too dark (and handsome LOL), too short , too wide and not near enough storage... sigh.Several weeks later she happens to find another dresser that matches the rest of her bedroom suite... aaaannnndddd I got the other dresser that I really wanted! Got in my truck and chanted 'mine, mine ALL mine!' just about all the way there! I really felt the need to call her 'My Precious' as I was about as obsessed as Gollum was with his ring!Hmmm I adore making over furniture, I may have a problem ...LOL

MAKING THE CUTEST DIY PALLET COUCH

Let me show you how we went about building it. The process is simple. First you buy pillows or square sponges as well as a glue gun and some pallets. Also pick up the type of material you want to cover the sponges for the cusion.

MCM Drastic to Fantastic-A Dresser Tale

Dining Chair Make Over

I don’t know about you but my dining chairs get hammered. I blame the kids. Ketchup, ice cream, a baked bean or 3. It was definitely time for another makeover for the seat pads. Something that was easy to clean & less obvious of the suspicious looking smears they are bound to face along the way. Disclaimer - I AM NOT AN EXPERT at this! I'm a have a go and see what happens type of girl. What is the worst that can happen?

DIY Dollar Store Candle Holder Using Molds

I've got a delightful project for you today. I am going to show you how to take glass candle holders you can get from the Dollar Tree and then, using mastic - also from the Dollar tree - and a mould, we're going to wrap the molded shape around the glass candle holder.You might not know what mastic is, so let me tell you. It's something plumbers use - I think 🤪. It's also called caulk, which you may have heard of. It's that stuff that you can find in the bathroom that goes around your sink or tub. It's what seals out the water. And I found out that the stuff is amazing for crafting - especially for using it in silicone moulds!Why - you might ask? Because the mastic casting comes out as a flexible object! That means you can wrap the dried form around curved items - such as glass candle holders 😃, whoo hoo!

Trash to Treasure, Pottery Barn Dupe - Console Table

I am showing you yet ANOTHER curbside find. If you have followed me for awhile then you know that it is usually my husband that finds me good furniture in the trash (that I then turn into treasure). However, I scored BIG when a friend of mine who is a realtor and just sold a house in her neighborhood, texted me a picture of a huge pile of nice furniture that this client had put out for the trash. Good stuff too. She knows I like to makeover furniture so she said she thought of me immediately. Needless to say we rushed over there and took a bunch of things. Check out this pile….Will ya look at all this good stuff!!!

Making a Lampshade Out of an Antique Sieve / Strainer

We are in our 3rd Lockdown and Stay at Home orders here in Ontario Canada and that doesn't bother me, but it has made me have to become more creative in my diyng especially this time around as my go to Dollarstore is only allowed to sell essentials and hardware stores etc are all curbside. So it is abit more challenging to design anything but I love a challenge! It has also given me the opportunity to go through my " junk" I have collected and put it to use. And that's exactly what I did when I came across this antique sieve/ strainer, whatever you want to call it.
