DIY French Country Furniture Makeover

September 24, 2015 31 Comments

This project was part of a group of bloggers coming together to share a makeover based on a theme. The theme this time around was French. To be honest, I had a hard time with this one. It didn’t come to me as quickly as the DIY knobs for a dresser I did last month. When I think “French”, a lot of things come to mind: Paris, Eiffel Tower, pastries, old books, old architecture and then I thought of French country furniture. That’s it! I will be interpreting “French” into a French Country Furniture Makeover. I found this beautiful piece… Read More

DIY Metal Cart Makeover

September 18, 2015 5 Comments

I have a weakness for metal carts. They are versatile, have storage and can be moved around easily. I think they are a “must-have” for people who live in smaller places. You can use them for bar carts at parties, snack stations during the holidays and even a “mini” kitchen island if you need it. Right now, I am using one as an end table in my family room. This metal cart makeover is a great example of how you can take an old, ugly piece and make it pretty and functional for what you need. I found this cart at a… Read More

White Chest Dresser Makeover

September 11, 2015 8 Comments

This White Chest Dresser Makeover took me some time to figure out how I wanted to tackle it. The cabinet alone had me stumped when I saw it. At first glance, I thought it was a dresser. A dresser that had a few issues and needed some work. Then I noticed the bottom of it. It had to be an old kitchen cabinet. It was kitchen cabinet depth, it had the cabinet base on the bottom, but yet, the sides were “finished”?? Was it a stand-alone cabinet? The right side had a horrible patch job so it must have been… Read More

DIY Menu Board

September 10, 2015 10 Comments

Back in May, I shared this project on the SITS blog. This Menu Board is the perfect project to share now that the school year is in full swing. We are all looking for ways to get more organized and keep things together during the hectic school year. At the end of a busy day, the last thing I want to do is think about what to have for dinner! I know there is a better way to organize our meals and grocery shopping and it all has to start with an actual meal plan for the week. So, what do… Read More

Small Black Dresser Makeover With Vintage Glass Pulls

September 3, 2015 14 Comments

This Small Black Dresser Makeover is all about the vintage glass pulls I was able to salvage. Sorry, I had to do that. As soon as I starting thinking about writing this post, that was stuck in my head because this makeover is truly all about the drawer pulls. A few weeks ago, I shared a picture on Instagram of some of my recent finds. This piece was one of them. Nothing too fancy, but something in desperate need of some TLC. It had been sitting in a basement for MANY years and I knew I could bring it back to… Read More

Farmhouse Decor Catalog: A Resource For Farmhouse Decor

September 2, 2015 22 Comments

I get a lot of questions about farmhouse decor, so I thought I would put together a farmhouse decor catalog – a resource for my favorite places to find farmhouse decor. A find a lot of my favorite pieces from frequently stopping at yard sales, barn sales and thrift stores. Even though I stop at a lot of these places, many times, they don’t have what I am looking for and so I have my favorite places online I like to browse and get great pieces for our home. {Affiliate links are used in this post.
