I have a really great project today, and can you believe I got three projects out of one vintage desk? Today’s project is a narrow wall shelf made from part of a desk top. Here is the original desk I picked up at Vendors’ Village. This is the first project I made out of the…

antique cane chair makeover with upholstered seat
I wish I knew how to repair an antique cane chair, but I don’t. There are ways to fix a broken cane chair without learning the art of caning! While shopping at Vendors’ Village in September, I stopped by John’s booth while he was working and he gave me some great deals on a few…

I have another great headboard coat rack tutorial for you today. Last week I showed you the small black shelf I made from the leftover bed posts of this headboard.

Picket Fence Whitewash Coat Rack

I have a fun and easy repurposed furniture bedpost wall shelf project to share with you today using bed posts from another headboard project I made. We all know how much I love cutting up furniture. Whenever I cut legs off of headboards I always save them for other projects and this project was fun…
DIY Monogrammed Ring Dish
I love easy, customized gifts that don’t break the bank. While my daughter Jamie was visiting for Thanksgiving, she picked up some cute little monogrammed ring dishes at Hobby Lobby for a few friends. Because I have a lot of vinyl and my own electronic cutting machine I decided to DIY it! *this post contains…
Thrift Store Decor Project Ideas
I’m a member of a great group of bloggers that share our Thrift Store Décor Makeovers monthly. I love being part of the group because it forces me to do smaller easy projects that I don’t normally do. We’re getting together this month to share our projects from 2016. Maybe you’ve seen them all, but…
Wooden Desk Plaque (custom logo design)
I don’t have a desk, but even so, I decided I must have a wooden desk plaque with my logo on it after I saw the cool gift Kim Six made for Wendi at H2O Bungalow! Kim is so clever and creative—I love knocking off her projects. I’ll show you my inspiration from Kim…
How To Make A Tea Light Log Candle Holder
Have you ever seen a tea light log candle holder used for Christmas centerpieces? Recently, I was outside throwing ball with Lulu Mae, something we do at least twice a day. She got distracted, so I was left there just standing and waiting for her to get her ball when I noticed one of my…
French Provincial Headboard Bench
I have a lot of headboards in my stash, but one day while I was putting some stuff in my booth at Vendors’ Village, I picked up this fancy french provincial headboard for $7. I set about changing this fancy headboard into a headboard bench right away! The frame is made of wood, but the…

Pallet Christmas Tree
I recently shared a great pallet Christmas tree project from Donna at Funky Junk Interiors on my Facebook page. Later that day I was looking for a quickie project, and decided to make a reclaimed wood Christmas tree similar to Donna’s. I still have a lot of this free weathered wood stored in a…
twin bed toy box
I recently picked up this twin headboard, and actually got a deal on it for $4 from John at Vendors’ Village. I decided to make it into a bench, but within minutes I knew it needed to be a bench with storage. One thing lead to another, and suddenly it was going to be a…
Updated Singer Sewing Machine Table
I re-did a Singer sewing machine table over a year ago. Although I liked the look, the top didn’t seem worthy or strong enough for this heavy treadle base. As I was readying for Glendale 2016, I dragged this out of the back of the garage for a little makeover. I tested out an option…
salvaged wood outdoor bar | kitchen island
I’m so excited to show you this outdoor bar I made from reclaimed wood. It would also make a great kitchen island or maybe even a potting bench. I still have a lot of this salvaged wood stored in a woodshed. (this picture is of the wood when I picked it up) I have it separated…
Christmas Trees For Sale Sign

Bless The Food Before Us Sign
I recently made a Christmas Trees For Sale Sign (not on the blog yet) and I love the way it turned out. That got me thinking that I would like to make a new sign for my kitchen to take the place of my Piano Front. Earlier in the week I chatted with my friend…
small thrift store footstool makeover
Today I’m going to show you a simple thrift store footstool makeover. This poor little guy definitely needed some TLC. Even John (vendor 169) at Vendors’ Village knew it had possibilities if it were recovered. But I wanted to do a little more than that. I figured it needed a little color. …
Stocking Holder Chalkboard made from a Repurposed Headboard
Today’s Christmas stocking holder uses a headboard just like this, except one of the spindles was broken. I made two projects out of this twin headboard. along with this Christmas stocking holder, I also made a headboard shelf with the lower portion of the headboard. I used a reciprocating saw to separate the…
