Antique Nightstand Revamp

We found these beauties via Craigslist and after a little negotiating I was able to score the pair for $70! After a little TLC... we transformed them to make them our own!

There were a few comments about this chair in my "Funky Hand Painted Bench" post. It couldn't be seen clearly, so I thought I'd do a quick post for those who wanted to see it.

I have been dying to do a headboard project and begging my husband weekly to help me. He found this headboard in the trash and we turned it into a treasure.

Restored and Refinished Entry Table

This piece has been with me through many many journeys! This was first a piece in my parents home. They gave it to me to furnish in my various places of living in college. I've held onto it ever since and it has traveled from place to place with me always providing its services, never letting me down. I decided to return a little gratitude!

IKEA Hack - Coat Storage / Shoe Shelf

This project was one of those with twists and turns and now that I am finished with my coat rack shoe shelf I realized that this could also be used as kitchen storage or bathroom storage with towels and bath stuff on the shelves. Can you see it? Where would you use it? So, the biggest clutter problem in our house is the large quantity of shoes that get strewn all over our points of entry. I decided to take an Ikea shelf and try to make it into something farmhouse style to hold shoes, mittens, bags, basically anything and everything. Tall order for a simple shelf.

Ironing Board Folk Art Santa

So hiding in the corner of this estate sale was a vintage wooden ironing board. After a few minutes of haggling, the seller was worn down and let it go for $20. I had some idea of what I wanted to do but researched what ideas Hometalk and Pinterest might have. Bunches. With Christmas fast approaching I narrowed my search to Santa. Here is my version.

My feature bay window was lacking some pizazz. Adding small built built in bookshelves and LED strip lighting made it a show stopper.

An Antiqued Nightstand Reveal

Recently I worked on making this little nightstand into a show-stopper from the ugly duckling MDF piece that it was. The original black paint was flaking off since this is just a fairly cheap piece of furniture and I thought it would be a good candidate for trying chalk paint for the first time!

A Before and After Story: Upcycled Antique Vanity Nightstands

A neighbor gave me an antique vanity that she accidentally broke while bringing it down the stairs. Instead of repairing it I decided to redesign it, and create a pair of beautiful Shabby Chic style nightstands for my master bedroom.

DIY Crate Stools for Toy Storage

I am excited to share with you my most recent DIY project that turned milk crates into some of the most functional little things in my house. I found these old black crates off Craigslist for $6. There are six of them, they are all identical. I brought them outside and pressure washed the grime, stickiness, and everything else off of them.

Handmade Chaise Lounge From Recycled Materials

This is not the usual step by step instructions because I did not record this project because it was a test run. By like all test runs things can go wrong, and for me it was, there were not enough support straps under the cushion. I have had to take it apart to fix this and took new photos along the way. So this will be a reverse tutorial.

Kitchen Island Made From Old Dresser

I’m sure by now everyone has seen a dresser turned into a kitchen island—I’ve been seeing them online for a while and have been wanting to do one myself, but just haven’t found the perfect old dresser. Until now. I went into my local thrift store recently and found the perfect little diamond in the rough—I’m so happy with how it came out! We want to help you DIY, so some of the materials in this post are linked to sellers. Just so you know, Hometalk may collect a small share of sales from the links on this page. BEFORE: Here is a shot of the dresser when I first brought it home. I love the etched detail in the drawers, which is a big reason I decided to keep at least one of them for my finished island.

How to Turn a Mid Century Cabinet Into a Farmhouse Style

Mid-Century is totally not my style ... at all. This Mid Century media cabinet with its clean and simple lines was begging me to be changed into a rustic farmhouse style. I could envision barn doors on the front and it being used as a perfect media center. Bam! So that’s what I did and here's how I did it ...

How to Make Dollar Tree Storage Bins Look Like Pier 1

The kitchen is the hub of our house. This is evidenced by the hodge podge of things you will find in my kitchen on any given day. It is near impossible to keep counters cleared off, so I’ve stopped fighting it and have hunted for practical counter top storage solutions.After a couple of failed attempts, I decided to go the DIY route and bought some Dollar Tree storage bins. My mission was to make them look pretty.

Rusty Modern Thrifted Table

We spotted an industrial metal and wood side table at our local Starbucks that we thought we could DIY. After we found the perfect table at a thrift store, we used a faux rusty/crusty technique to transform it. We loosely followed a tutorial from Rogue Engineer. (See our full blog post for a link to the tutorial for more information.)
