Upcycled Pumpkin Craft Project

4 Comments

This upcycled pumpkin craft project took minutes to make and I already had all of the supplies on hand!  {Affiliate links are used in this post. Click on any of the pink links to find the products I am talking about. You can read my disclosure HERE.} Last winter, I picked up a bag of old rope floats. I didn’t have any idea what I was going to do with them, but I LOVED the way they looked. The color was perfect and they looked like old, rustic wood pieces.    When I started decorating for fall this year, I picked… Read More

The MCD Creative Squad

Leave a Comment

I have had an idea brewing in my head and I can’t let it go. I think this can be so amazing and I am excited about it. I am calling it The MCD Creative Squad! Here’s the backstory….. I always get private messages from people with questions about flipping furniture, techniques to use, prices to buy and sell and so much more. “Is there a way I can learn more?” “Is there a way to get a one on one consultation with you?” “Is there a way to dive deeper into this and learn more techniques?” “How do I… Read More

I will be talking all about that at the end of this post, but I wanted to give a little history into How Flipping Furniture Changed… Read More

DIY Round Side Table Makeover

I am excited to share this round side table makeover with you today! It was an easy project and I am IN LOVE with its shape and how it turned out. I haven’t been to many yard sales this summer, but I have found a couple that have been so much fun! I think I have maybe stopped at five yard sales total this summer. That is a crazy low number for me. I am usually out and about every week seeing what I can find. The pandemic has changed that, but it hasn’t stopped it completely. I have been… Read More

DIY Pumpkin Lantern Made From A Yard Sale Find

This DIY Pumpkin Lantern came together with a yard sale find, scrap wood from the garage, and some inexpensive pillar candles from Walmart. It is fall! I know that summer weather is still around, but I am officially calling it fall in our home. I am so happy to be inspired again and maybe get some rooms done that have been “undecorated” since the pandemic sucked the creative juices right out of me. I don’t know about you, but I was struggling there for a bit and not really knowing what was up. I felt happy, but I was not… Read More

DIY Chippy Cabinet For The Home Office

This DIY chippy cabinet was a free find that has added so much character, charm, and storage to my home office! There is nothing better than a friend calling you and telling you that they think I would like a piece they are getting rid of. These are my favorite calls because my friends always know I am looking for a good project and they know what I like. I wasn’t sure what this one was, but when I saw it, I about fell over.
