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!!!

Tile backsplash when there is existing countertop backsplash

We are thinking about how to add a backsplash to our kitchen. Unfortunately when we had our countertops installed we ordered a small backsplash that comes part way up the wall.

So, do I keep the wall bare like it is, tile the way it is and meet the black backsplash with another tile, or can I take out the counter backsplash that is there? What do you think?

Mirrored Backsplash to Pebble Backsplash

I am living in my RV for the time being, but there was a few things that I needed to fix in one of them was all the mirrors everywhere! Especially in the kitchen as a backsplash.

Y And the manufacturer thought it was a great idea but after the multiple scrubbing of the mirrors while cooking I just didn’t wanna deal with it anymore.

Recently our international blogger group had the challenge to create something out of resin. This was my first attempt at the challenge.

So it got chuck to the back of my shed. But every time I go in my shed it catches my eye and I think to myself, I loved the idea just not the colour.

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
