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 38 Comments
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...]
Shutter Cabinet Makeover
March 11, 2016 by
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. ( There may or may not have been some stalking involved.) 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...]
DIY Mini Storage Cabinet with Reclaimed Wood
January 14, 2016 by
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...]
Farmhouse Hutch Makeover
January 8, 2015 by
I've got a pretty makeover to share with you today! You might remember me posting about a desk with French graphics that I redid this Fall. I purchased it at an estate sale at this lovely little beach cottage (if you're visiting from a mobile device, this picture is sideways and I don't know why sorry!): About six houses from the ocean...yes please! I bought several pieces from that sale including this pretty beat-up hutch. I found it in the shed being used for tools! What a crime … [Read more...]
