Frames...okay can we add frames to the list of things I can't pass up when I see a great deal? That's frames, mirrors, and picnic baskets ha ha. I'm sensing a theme here...ahem hoarder. Welcome back, awesome friends! I'm getting down to the final few pieces from my last thrifting/estate sale haul, and today I'm repurposing this pretty frame: Anytime I see a frame with these curvy lines, I just can't resist picking it up, especially when it's half off of! This was $3.25 but all blue … [Read more...]

The fourth Thursday of every month I get together with some very talented ladies to bring you furniture flips, so be sure to look for five more awesome makeovers from my friends at the bottom!

Kids’ Table and Chairs Makeover
June 7, 2018 by 42 Comments
Amazing Friends, I finally finished the little table and chair set I brought home from my booth to redo! That set has been in my booth for well over a year and I just could not figure out why it hadn't sold. Here it is as I found it: I found the chairs for only $5 for the pair at one thrift store, then a few months later, I found the table to complete the set at another. Lucky, huh? Here is a peek at their first redo: You can see the whole first makeover HERE. I just loved … [Read more...]
Tray Table Makeover
March 20, 2018 by
Hello amazing friends!! Up for a makeover today? Always, right?? Me too! I shared a preview of today's makeover on Thursday. It's this tray table I found at the thrift store for $10: When I bought it, it was flattened and taped together like this: I really had no idea what it was exactly, I just knew it had a nice sized tray with it. The stand was just a bonus! I've included a few affiliate links so you can find the products I use and love. Here it is after a little … [Read more...]

The Antique Armoire with the Missing Glass
June 29, 2017 by
Happy Thursday, Friends! Today I'm sharing another favorite from the archives. I spied this antique cabinet at the thrift store near my house last year. 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 just couldn't pass it up the second time: It doesn't actually look too bad in this photo but it wasn't great in person. I'm not exactly sure what was built up on … [Read more...]

French-Inspired Girl’s Table and Chair Set
March 21, 2017 by
Hello sweet Friends! I have the cutest little table and chair set to share with ya'll today! But first do you mind if I share my heart a bit? We had to say goodbye to our sweet kitty, Holly on Friday. You may have seen her in photos from time to time. Most recently I was photographing this table I shared last Thursday: I didn't include this photo in that post, but took a few pics of her after she made herself comfy in the shot. I'm so glad now that I did. I shot this a couple of weeks … [Read more...]
Girl’s Vanity set from an Antique Side Table
February 21, 2017 by
Hello amazing Friends! I have a fun little makeover for ya'll today! Are you up for something fun?? I spied this little antique side table at the thrift store a couple of months ago for $15: I should have taken a picture of a soda can next to it so you can see how petite it is. It really can't function well as a side table because it is just too small but I did like the shape of it. However, I decided to pass on it. A month later, I stopped in the same thrift store and it was still … [Read more...]
Simple Tote Update
February 16, 2017 by
Hello sweet Friends! I'm back today with a cute makeover! You may remember back in the Fall we received several furniture pieces from the estate of my Hubby's Grandmother. We also acquired a couple of smaller things that came out of the shed, and one of them was this little wooden tote: It is clearly handmade and of course that's the reason I loved it immediately. I knew it could be cute and functional again. All it needed was a little paint magic and some love: Seriously, how … [Read more...]
