I am a picnic basket hoarder. There, I said it. I cannot pass up a deal on a picnic basket. I just love them! Amazing friends, it is Trash-to-Treasure Tuesday and I am thrilled to announce that I tackled not just one of the picnic baskets I recently picked up, but both picnic baskets I recently picked up! Before I forget...don't forget to look for my talented friends' makeovers at the bottom! I really had no business buying more picnic baskets because look what I still have in my storage … [Read more...]

August 11, 2016 by

Outdoor Glider Bench Makeover
April 28, 2016 by
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. I purchased this outdoor glider bench about six or seven years ago: Isn't it just pitiful? I covered the cushions once before about three years ago, and it was time to do it again! I've included affiliate links so you can find the products I used. Here's my new and improved outdoor glider bench now: Doesn't it look brand … [Read more...]

Fabric Inlaid Mirror
June 9, 2015 by
Are you up for a thrifty makeover today? Well I hope so because that's exactly what I'm sharing! I found this very dated mirror for $8 at the thrift store a few weeks back: Immediately when I saw it, I imagined fabric in the panel on top. First I removed the mirror and painted the frame in DIY chalk paint in Cottage White by Behr. Bye bye ugly mirror! I gave it three coats, then sanded the edges a bit. Then I sealed it with Minwax paste wax. This was my first time using … [Read more...]

Updated Side Table with Fabric Drawer
February 23, 2015 by
Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a great way to give furniture a new look. I found this ho-hum side table at the Salvation Army for $15: What I liked about this table besides the price, were the details in the corners below the drawer. Pieces like this are fantastic because they are like a blank canvas. There are just so many ways you could update this simple table. I chose to paint it (surprise!) and add fabric to the drawer: You know I should own stock in this fabric. It … [Read more...]
