Amazing friends, can I tell you how nice it was to get away for a few days? Our boys are on Spring break this week, so we decided to head to D.C. to see the museums and monuments. There is so much to see! If you ever get the chance to go, be sure to visit the National Archives Museum. We got to see the original Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, among tons of other super cool documents from our nation's history. Here is my favorite thing I found at the Smithsonian National Museum … [Read more...]

Hello lovelies! Today I'm taking ya'll on a trip to my booth. For those of you that may be new here, welcome! I have a booth space at the Virginia Beach Antique Mall here in Virginia Beach where I sell most of the pieces I blog about. Let's start where we left off in November, shall we? The last time you visited, it looked like this: Sadly, most of these furniture pieces are still in my booth! Booo! See, it happens to me too! Many of these pieces are taste specific and need just the … [Read more...]
$6 Thrift Store End Table (& a Video on How to Line a Drawer with Fabric)
April 4, 2019 by 44 Comments
Hey there, beautiful friends! Who's up for a sweet makeover? Today's project piece is this end table I picked up for $6.25 at the thrift store: Can you believe it was only $6? It looked more like this when I found it: The legs had been removed and tucked inside. Maybe that's why it was so cheap. I didn't attempt to assemble it in the store to make sure it would go back together properly, but for that price, I figured I would take my chances. I don't usually pick up … [Read more...]

Hey there amazing friends! I'm back with my Furniture Fixer Upper girls sharing the first piece of my brand new haul!! I am super excited about this one! First, here is my new stack of goodies ready and waiting to be transformed: I actually found some decent furniture pieces this time, thanks mostly to an estate sale that I visited last weekend.

Hello sweet friends, and welcome to Trash-to-Treasure Tuesday! Ya'll know how much I love to make over trash. I was searching high and low for something really trashy to makeover for this occasion, but alas I came up empty. Booooo. Instead I'm bringing you the next piece in my latest thrift store haul. Even if it isn't so trashy, it's a fun makeover nonetheless. My project started out like this: There is a shelf that looks like it's missing, but it is lying on the bottom there. … [Read more...]
$12 Oak Night Table Makeover
March 5, 2019 by 102 Comments
Dear friends, welcome back! I am rolling right through this second bunch of thrift store finds! Today's makeover is this oak night table I scored for $12 on the same stop where I found this tufted foot stool I shared a couple of weeks ago: An oak night table with free dirt for only $12? Yes, please! This poor thang. It was a hot mess and it was SO dirty! If it weren't so big, I would swear it had fallen between the counter and refrigerator and had been left there for a couple of … [Read more...]

Drop Leaf Side Table Makeover
February 26, 2019 by 77 Comments
Hello sweet friends!! Can I tell you how relieved I am that I finally finished that dang drop-leaf table? So I had planned to share this pretty piece on Thursday: Unfortunately I ran into major issues with the paint job on top. I had painted the entire piece with one coat of DIY chalk paint using a flat black paint my Hubby had picked up for another project. I decided it wasn't quite black enough, so I followed up with a coat of leftover Country Chic Paint I had on hand. The only … [Read more...]

February 19, 2019 by 98 Comments
Lovely friends, welcome back! I am working my way through thrifty haul #2 and the next item on the chopping block is this tufted footstool I scored for only $12: What a bargain! I fell in love with the legs and the bow front on this beauty right away, and it was so super soft and comfy. That's where the love affair ended though because the rest was crying SOS. When I first saw it I actually thought I might just buy it for the legs and maybe I could use them on something else. But after … [Read more...]
