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 awesome friends! It's time for another victim of the 80's heart obsession! Hey, I'm guilty too...had several of these pieces! Here is what is getting a facelift today: I love finding pieces that have function! This was on clearance, marked down to $2.98...come on now, clearance at the thrift store? Now you know it's gotta be some kind of pitiful. I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I love. It's that darn heart! I have come to the conclusion that … [Read more...]

Rustic to Coastal Cabinet Makeover
May 1, 2018 by
Hello beautiful friends! Can you believe it's May already?? April flew by in a flash! I have a pretty little makeover to share with you today! I spied this rustic cabinet at the thrift store a few weeks ago: It was marked $12, and I just couldn't pass it up. It was hand-made and that always makes my heart go pitter patter! Although it is lovely as is, I envisioned a lighter, more coastal feel for this handsome cabinet: I decided to whitewash the body of the cabinet and … [Read more...]
Garage Junk Repurposed
July 13, 2017 by
Hello beautiful Friends! I'm back today with a fun little project. This is from a couple of years ago. It's one of my favorite projects because something cute and functional was created out of mostly trash! I started with this: This wasn't the trash part. One of my favorite friends in the whole world saved a few things for me thinking I could reuse them in some way, and this was one of them. It became the perfect door frame for this sweet little mini cabinet: Isn't it cute? That … [Read more...]
$5 Yard Sale Buffet Makeover
July 12, 2016 by
Hi Friends, and welcome to Trash-to-Treasure Tuesday!! Sharing a good trash-to-treasure project is my favorite, and today's project was pretty trashy: The top was a hot mess: On my ONE AND ONLY day yard saling this season so far (Can you believe that?? Desperately trying to be good and clear out my garage!), I was having very little luck...until I happened upon this one sale that had this buffet. I'm calling it a buffet, but it is likely the bottom portion to a china cabinet. I … [Read more...]

Are ya'll ready for a thrifty makeover today? I hope so! It's day #11 in this fun thrifty series, and I hope you are enjoying it so far! :) Today I'm sharing the makeover of an awesome shutter cabinet I grabbed just as it was being put out at one of the thrift stores near my Sister's house.

I knew paint would easily revive this dated looking thing... ...into one heck of a cottage charmer: Pure white DIY chalk paint and … [Read more...]
Antique Cabinet Makeover {& an Alternative to Replacing the Glass Door Panel}
February 25, 2016 by
Do ya'll love chocolate as much as I do? There are few things I love more, but how about as a theme for a furniture makeover? Today my furniture flippin friends and I are all sharing furniture makeovers inspired by chocolate. Say what? A few weeks ago I spied an antique cabinet at the DAV thrift store near my house. It was $79 and probably totally worth that, but the door was missing the glass and didn't close real smoothly so I passed. I went back a week later and it was marked to $49! I … [Read more...]

Hello, awesome Friends! I'm back today with a fun little project for ya. A while back, my talented friend Wendi of H2O Bungalow pulled a group of us gals together who have little fear when it comes to power tools, in hopes of inspiring our readers who might want to give a few tools a try to go for it. Each month we share simple DIY projects that involve power tools, but that anyone can tackle! I look back at some of my earlier projects where I show my hubs cutting things for me and chuckle. I … [Read more...]
Beach-Inspired Bathroom Cabinet
August 11, 2015 by
Don't you love a good before and after?? I know I do! Today I'm sharing this little cabinet that I recently found at the thrift store for $8: The painting on this was beautifully done, but definitely in need of an update. One of the doors was warped also, but I knew exactly how to remedy that! I love when things work out! I didn't really do much except paint, add a graphic, and swap out the doors, but the change is pretty cool, don't you think? A big shout out to my fence picket … [Read more...]
