Awesome friends welcome back! I only have two more sets of pieces to make over in my Fall Haul, and today I am tackling one of them! Plus, I'm sharing a tip that will give you a fantastic distressed finish when using chalk paint! These mirrors that have been living with us since our last house are today's project: I found these mirrors at the Goodwill by our old house that has since closed its doors. They were famous for pricing their inventory super cheap. I found these mirrors for … [Read more...]
$6 Thrift Store Night Table Makeover
November 12, 2019 by 49 Comments
Amazing friends, welcome to Trash-to-Treasure Tuesday!! I make over stuff that looks like trash all the time, but it is so much more fun when I have friends joining in on the fun!! Be sure to look for links to their trashy makeovers at the bottom! Okay so in all fairness, mine is actually not very trashy. I thought it was kind of cute actually: What really drew me to this little table though was the $6.25 price tag! This particular Goodwill has a really small area for furniture, so … [Read more...]
Ornate $25 Thrift Store Table Makeover
November 7, 2019 by 38 Comments
Hello beautiful friends! Today I'm continuing to work through the rest of my Fall Haul with this beautiful ornate table: I thought it was a steal at $25! I was surprised to find such a deal at that particular thrift store because their furniture is usually overpriced. I scooped it right up! This is one of the easiest makeovers I've done in a long time. I didn't expect any issues with bleed-through on this one because I think this is walnut, which generally does not bleed. I went … [Read more...]

Happy Halloween, dear friends! It's no secret that I love Halloween. I don't do all the blood and gore, but I love just the right amount of spook! Today I'm sharing our outdoor decor. It hasn't changed all that drastically from last year. Here is our home from the street: The sun was fading fast as I was taking these photos. For those that have seen our display from years past, can you see what we replaced? Our cemetery fence got a major upgrade! I found it in the garden … [Read more...]
$2 Thrift Store Shelf Makeover
October 29, 2019 by 40 Comments
Hello, amazing friends and welcome back! Today I'm sharing this shelf that I found for $1.98 at the thrift store: I found it on the same stop as the headboards I shared on Thursday, along with this gorgeous mirror: I believe this is an old Home Interiors piece. I made one over just like it several years ago, and I decided to do something similar to what I did the first time...I love the crisp look of the black and white together: This makeover had a lot of little steps to … [Read more...]

Shabby Chic Dressing Table
October 22, 2019 by 24 Comments
Hello, lovelies!! I am so glad to be home from my trip, but it was a lot of fun and I learned a ton! This conference was geared more towards all the no-fun back-end aspects of the blog that ya'll won't ever see, but it was super informative. The best part of all though was getting to hang out with two of my Furniture Fixer Upper pals, Kathy from Petticoat JUNKtion and Denise from Salvaged Inspirations: I met Kathy years ago at one of the Haven conferences we attended and she is such a … [Read more...]

October 17, 2019 by 16 Comments
Hello awesome friends! While I'm of town this week, I thought it would be fun to share some of my Halloween projects from over the years! My love for all things Halloween began after I met my Hubby. My oldest son was five at the time. We all went to Target after dinner one Saturday night, and my Hubby suggested we buy a few things to decorate my house for Halloween. He thought Jack would really get a kick out of it. They loaded up an entire cart and the rest is history! We have continued … [Read more...]

Hello sweet friends! This week I'm heading out of town for a conference so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take a visit to my booth! For those of you that may not know, I have a booth space at the Virginia Beach Antique Mall here in Virginia Beach where I sell most of the pieces I make over. I like to share my booth space by talking about what pieces, mostly the larger ones, have come and gone since the last time we visited. When I last shared it back in April, business … [Read more...]
