Get ready to find out how I cut a chest of drawers and made one of two projects. If you follow me on facebook, you’ve already been teased with the a photo of this chest of drawers. Beware—it is a long post. Cathy and I curbed this chest of drawers a long, long time…
Last spring I picked up these two tables for $12 for the pair. I thought they were cute, and I liked the price. I received some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and decided to use the Paris Gray on these tables. I painted them and distressed them—it was June 2011. It wasn’t very hot, but I…
I bought this old chair several years ago from Joey’s booth really cheap. I probably paid $1.96 for it. I painted it brown and recovered the seat with some cheap fabric. I was sooo over this chair, so I decided it needed a new outfit. I spray painted it with my HomeRight Finish Max Fine…
Do you remember my friend Jan? I made a shutter cupboard, shutter shelf, repurposed door shelf, and a headboard bench for her. I also recovered a rocking chair and made a couple of teacup lamps for Jan. She curb shops quite a bit, and is always finding really good stuff. Jan curbed this table, and…
How to update vintage plastic sconces, the easy way! These are the plastic vintage sconces I found last week at Joey’s booth, two for .96 cents. I first sprayed them with my el cheapo primer. Cheap primer is really okay to use on a quick project like this. *this post contains affiliate links, read more…
Pin it! This is an update on my original headboard made from an old door. Yep, I actually tackled this door and made it into a headboard. This is how the headboard has look for the last year. I painted over the dark colors with Kilz primer. I then painted it with a coat…
A few people have asked me about glazing furniture. I totally understand how it can be confusing. This time last year I had NO idea how to do this. When I first started seeing things pop up on blogs, I fell in love with the look. When I asked how to do it, bloggers were…
I’m sure you remember these little guys I bought while I was in Michigan for our family reunion . . . On the receipt this was listed as an avocado finial. The gold just has to go! This little fella was a very funny (odd) color. It has silver undertones. Out comes the…
Do you remember my $5.00 table from Monday’s post? It was in good shape, however it was very rickety. It came apart pretty easily, with just a little twisting and turning. It has big ole dowels that fit into holes. (is there a name for the hole?) I am usually a fan of wood…
g’morning! The holiday weekend is almost here! I hope you have some fabulous plans! I do! I get to see Jamie this weekend. We will be celebrating Mother’s Day and Jamie’s birthday. How perfect is that! Twenty eight years ago, (May 29, 1982) I became a mother. Enough about me, on with today’s post. …
This dresser was a curb find, I liked the “bones” of this beaut! However she was a little rough around the edges. You can see the veneer was peeling off the front of the drawers. Someone had also given her some “tattoos.” Another drawer with peeling veneer. The top of this dresser was that laminate…
