I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this Dresser Makeover With White Paint & BOSS. All opinions of their amazing paintbrushes are my own. I have to tell you that I am so happy that I have been able to find some great pieces to bring home during this pandemic. I didn’t know how this was going to look once things started shutting down and yard sales weren’t happening. These projects are so fun for me to do and even more fun for me to share with you, so I was a little worried about being… Read More

DIY Industrial Coffee Table From A Metal Cabinet

When people ask me how to find pieces to makeover, I always tell them that the easiest way is to tell family and friends that you are looking for pieces. We have gotten so many great pieces from family and friends. This DIY Industrial Coffee Table was made from a piece a friend’s mom gave us when we were working on our 5th flip house.  I mean! Who wouldn’t love to get this piece the way it is?! If you have been here for some time, you know I love anything with drawers and drawers with vintage brass hardware is… Read More

This was a project that went wrong and ended up with no top. That didn't stop me from making this small chest makeover amazing!

Small Chest Makeover With No Top

This small chest makeover was one that I thought was going to be a quick and easy project.  They don’t always work out like that and I like sharing those projects too. I have learned a lot over the years in all the makeovers we have done. My biggest piece of advice I give to people who reach out to me and want to start doing projects is to just start and be flexible. Just start. You won’t know until you try and you won’t learn a thing if you don’t try. Starting is the first step. Being flexible is… Read More

This French Linen dresser makeover is a great example of what painting a piece of furniture can do to breathe new life into a piece that needs a little TLC.

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this French Linen Dresser Makeover. All opinions of their amazing paint brushes are my own. Like I said in a previous post, I have had to get creative on how I find pieces to make over during this COVID pandemic. Usually, this time of year, I am scouring yard sales and thrift stores and having so much fun finding all the things. This year, it is not that easy. I have found a few pieces at random yard sales I come across, but it has been slim pickin’s for… Read More

Decorating for July 4th doesn't have to be hard or expensive. This 4th Of July Mantel came together with one great yard sale find and things I had on hand.

4th Of July Mantel With A Vintage Flag

When the kids were smaller, I decorated for every holiday. EVERY holiday. Now that they are older, I don’t decorate for all of them, but there is something about vintage patriotic pieces that makes me want to decorate for July 4th, aka Independence Day. I grabbed one of my favorite finds the other day and created a 4th of July mantel for the first time in years. “Independence Day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the United States as a sovereign nation. It is celebrated every July 4th, and has been a federal holiday… Read More

Essentials For The Center Console Of Your Car – We just bought a new car! We have been thinking about it for some time, but since our cars work just fine and we aren’t people who need new shiny cars every few years, we waited until we found what we wanted at a price we were willing to pay. Buying cars is not a fun process for me. I haven’t trusted a lot of car sales people and that is only because we have had some “not so great” experiences with some of them. I always do a lot of… Read More
