DIY Filing Cabinet Makeover

I’m working on a budget. I got these filing cabinets from Habitat for Humanity ReStore for a couple bucks and wanted to repurpose them to make my desk. I knew I wanted to use card pull label holders because not only do I love the way they look on furniture, I also love being organized!

Vanity Bench

While shopping for my guest room nightstand, I stumbled upon this little bench at the thrift store. It looked unloved and malnourished, but I saw potential…so, home it went with me. The room I am working with is small so there isn’t much room for extra furniture. I had this huge old mirror that I had bought at the thrift store long before, and I had recently purchased an interesting shelf that I thought would look great under the mirror. Once I saw the bench, I knew this trio of pieces would become the perfect vanity – even if it was only a few inches of space to work with!

Pool Noodle Repurpose for Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, but I hate spending a bunch of money on something that will be stored in a box most of the year. Luckily, I was able to make these witch’s legs with items I already had.

Beautiful Yard Even in Harsh Dry Deserts!

If you live in a semi-arrid or desert region perhaps you have dreamed of a sharp looking yard with some succulent plants. This yard should inspire you with some ideas of your own! For around $100 you too can have a lovely yard, though it be small and located in a desert! The cost will depend on the cost of the retaining wall stones combined with your own tools and labor. In our area the wall stones can be bought at home improvement stores for about $1 each.

If You Think Painting Fabric Furniture is Easy, You Are RIGHT!

Painting fabric furniture is so much fun and way easier than reupholstering… not to mention less expensive. This project started as a conversation with a local hairdresser. We both have a love for color and pretty things. What hairdresser doesn’t love color, right? Well, we immediately knew after a brief conversation that this was going to happen. We made a few plans and the hunt was on. It didn’t take her long to find the perfect sofa for the project. Read on…

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.

My French Provincial Nightstand

I found this nightstand at a local antique flea mall for around 40 dollars and it was exactly what i wanted and it took me several months to finally find one. But only problem it is ugly with some weird faux wood grain going on so it started out like this...

Texture and Layering | Painting Technique

I needed to make a new door, look old. Really old. The only dilemma was the underlying "new" door surface. I couldn't simply paint and distress. The look had to be achieved mostly with paint.

DIY Drum Chandelier

The light fixture in a room is like the icing on a cake. It is a wonderful way to add taste. And it is easy to be forgotten and overlooked if it doesn’t make a statement. Unfortunately, there is one style of light fixture in my home that is repeated in almost every room which I do not like.

China Cabinet Makeover

We recently inherited my husband's grandmother's china cabinet and the before was heavy and dark! I knew I wanted a chippy white look for it but not too white. Fusion Mineral Paint is my favorite paint right now and I chose the color Champlain but I didn't want my Rae Dunn collection to blend in with the color, so I painted the back wall a soft blue.

Headboard Made From Salvaged Shutters Diy

It must have been July when my brother first showed up on my doorstep with a huge pile of these fantastic interior wood shutters. I immediately knew that I wanted to make a headboard. The only problem was, I didn't need a headboard.
Don't despair if you don't have shutters, an old paneled wood door will give a similar look.

Updated Dresser, Distressed DIYer

Anyone who DIY's has probably had a project that just does not come together as hoped. A project that seems to fight you on every level and at every turn. This was that project. I purchased this dresser on craigslist for $30. It is solid and really, really, really heavy! Like, T-rex heavy! There was damage to the veneer around the whole bottom and deep gouges and scratches on the top, so I decided I would paint the dresser a nice glossy black and stain the drawer fronts. In my haste to get started, I forgot to take a picture of the dresser so the picture below is one I found on the web that is similar.
