Hey there sweet Friends! I'm back today with another piece from that estate sale where I found this bookcase and these vintage night tables.

My younger sister lives here with her hubby and three boys, but my younger brother lives in South Carolina and my older sister lives in Wisconsin, but they all came for … [Read more...]

Hi lovely friends! I told you the other day that I've been spending several days working outdoors and today I'm sharing a project that was very much overdue.

Hey there, awesome friends! Welcome to day#6 of March Madness! Today I'm sharing a simple stool makeover. Please tell me I'm not the only one who chuckles at the word, "stool"?

Grain Sack Bench
January 16, 2015 by
I'm sharing another well-deserved makeover today! It was part of this haul: That day included an estate sale, a few yard sales and one thrift store stop! The large picture on the left was a $5 yard sale find and became a huge chalkboard. The claw-foot console table (see the after here) was a $10 yard sale find and received a frenchy makeover. Both pieces sold in my booth a while back. This is the 80's country charmer that's getting a makeover today: Ah...80's décor. We'll … [Read more...]

This is the little guy getting the big makeover today. I found him at a church flea market for $15. I love those! And here is his beauty shot: I chose the … [Read more...]
Antique Mini-Bench Makeover
September 2, 2014 by
Hi friends! I've got a quick makeover to share with you today. I found this little antique bench at a yard sale for $5: Actually it was the same yard sale where I found my sewing chair. The owner had attempted to make it over using this burlap sack, which could have turned out okay if she had finished it right. I decided to go another direction with it though... I had this small scrap of fabric left over from my fabric inlay dresser and it was just enough to … [Read more...]
