I think my favorite thing in the whole world is repurposing things, how about you? Amazing friends, today I am sharing how I gave this $10 thrift store spindle headboard a whole new purpose: I always have a hard time passing up a good deal on a perfectly good twin headboard, and one that has spindles? Well that doesn't stand a chance...it is definitely coming home with me! One of my favorite ways to repurpose them is to simply cut off the legs: Paint it, and add a few … [Read more...]

Curbside Drawer to Back-to-School Organizer
August 13, 2015 by
Hello Friends! I'm sharing another curbside find turned into something useful (and pretty) today! To be honest, I rarely actually find things curbside, except when I'm yard saling. I pulled up to my very first sale of the day a few weeks ago and spotted a dresser that was smashed to pieces on the curb, along with these perfectly good drawers: The owners were happy to have me haul them away for them! I was thinking at the very least I could salvage the hardware. Then when my insanely … [Read more...]

August 4, 2015 by
By now you know when I say "reclaimed wood" I'm not talking about century old barn wood right? It's just a fancy name for old fence pickets I found on the side of the road lol. As in this pile of pickets I found on the side of the road: Okay technically it was in a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood I was yard sale hopping in. See said yard sale in the back ground? "No thanks, I don't want to buy anything you are selling, but can I have this pile of trash?" Ha ha. This sounds a lot like the … [Read more...]

We're starting week #2 of my March Madness series and welcome! I can't believe it's been a whole week already! How many dated headboards have you passed by without a second thought? I've redone several headboards because they are perfect for repurposing! Here is the $5 beauty my son and I picked up a couple of weeks ago at the thrift store: I'm sure it was only $5 because it had no tag and the cashier was put on the spot. It's getting harder and harder to find a great deal at thrift … [Read more...]
