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. I get really discouraged with the estate sales in our area because they are so incredibly overpriced! This one actually wasn't too bad … [Read more...]

August 23, 2018 by
Hello beautiful friends! Now that our kitchen makeover is complete (see the big reveal HERE!), I am back to my favorite thing of all: giving new life to forgotten gems!

Estate Sale Bookcase Makeover
January 26, 2017 by
Hello awesome Friends! Did you miss not having a fresh new makeover from me on Tuesday? I've spoiled you, haven't I? Well hopefully I'll make it up to you today! If you missed it, on Tuesday I shared 10 tools that are must-haves in my workshop, a great resource if you are just getting into the upcycling game!

Reclaimed Wood Bookcase
June 16, 2016 by
Hi Friends! Today I'm joining my Power Tool Girl Crew to bring you a simple project I did using power tools! I love these group challenges because they motivate me to get stuff done! This month's theme is "Summer". I wanted to do something with this little bookcase I picked up at the thrift store for $12 a couple of weeks ago: It looked like someone had some sort of electronics on the bottom shelf that needed to be vented, so two big holes had been cut out on the back. When I bought … [Read more...]
Bookcase Makeover & Styling {A Décor Challenge}
September 10, 2015 by
Welcome to our newest decorating challenge, Styling Bookcases. This theme really is a challenge for me for a couple of reasons. One, I do not own a bookcase. (Unless you count the one in my five-year old's room.) And two, how can I possibly guide anyone on how to style them properly if I don't own any myself? How then am I going to participate in this fun décor challenge? No I didn't steal the bookcase one from my son's room, I found one at one of my favorite thrift stores and gave it a … [Read more...]
