Hello beautiful friends and welcome to Furniture Fixer Upper Day! If you're new around here, welcome! 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! I knew this day was coming, and I also knew that I had very little to work with in terms of furniture in my stash, so I set out a few weeks ago to look for something I could redo for this occasion. That … [Read more...]
How to Paint Unfinished Wood Furniture
November 29, 2018 by 48 Comments
Hello amazing friends! I'm here today with my Furniture Fixer Upper gal pals bringing you a brand new furniture makeover! Be sure to look for five more awesome makeovers from my friends at the bottom. My Dad used to make these wood tables back in the day when he, my Mom, and I did several craft markets each year: My Mom would paint scenes on them and they sold like hotcakes. They had a few leftover, and I painted one a couple of years ago and shared it HERE. My Mom has been sick … [Read more...]
The Best Deal I ever got at a Thrift Store
October 16, 2018 by 36 Comments
Hello dear friends! I had hoped to have a new project finished to share today, but with hurricane Michael heading our way, I spent Thursday taking down pretty much every Halloween decoration I had outside, and securing our outdoor furniture, trampoline, etc. I am so glad I took the time to do all that though because we got some serious winds Thursday night, gusting up to 75 mph at times. We are so fortunate that our area sustained very little damage as compared to many others who weren't so … [Read more...]
Pedestal Kitchen Table Makeover
August 24, 2017 by
I am SO excited to have a brand spankin new makeover to share with you today, fabulous Friends!! I Iove how this one turned out! Working in my new organized garage (See that beauty HERE if you missed it.) made it so much easier to tackle this project! In my garage reveal I shared a little peek at today's project piece: a table I picked up just before the big move. I knew that for my eat-in kitchen area, I wanted a round table. I originally decided I would treat myself and go wild and buy a … [Read more...]
White Washed Sofa Table
July 6, 2017 by
Hello amazing friends! I have a brand new makeover to share today! :D Jack had decided that he wanted to pick out a piece of furniture to work on to make a little money, so we stopped by the thrift store closest to my house a few days ago and all furniture was 50% off. That never happens, but they were overstocked so it was our lucky day. The first piece with potential I spied was this sofa table: Jack wasn't interested in it, so I nabbed it for myself. It was marked $34, so we got … [Read more...]
Unfinished Wood Console Table Makeover
March 16, 2017 by
Hello awesome Friends! I'm so glad you stopped by today! Actually I'm so glad you stop by every day. :) Remember a week or so ago when I shared this little unfinished table that I painted, one my Dad had made several years ago? See that post HERE if you missed it. Well when I brought this home from my parent's attic, I also picked up its big sister: My parents and I did craft markets for about 15 or so years and these are tables my Dad built. My Mom would paint scenes on top of … [Read more...]
Painting Unfinished Wood Furniture
March 7, 2017 by
In a perfect world, every furniture piece I paint would have a dark brown stain to start since it is the perfect first layer for distressing. I really try to avoid already painted pieces mostly for that reason, but how about unfinished pieces? Yeah...don't usually care for those either. I mean if I can save myself some work, right? Hello sweet friends! Today I am sharing how I tackled one such unfinished piece. My parents and I used to do craft markets for about 15 years or so, and my Dad … [Read more...]
Antique Fixer Upper Table
March 2, 2017 by
Hello amazing friends! Today I am sharing a project that is long overdue. For my last craft market way back in 2013 (it was a sea of cottage white but you can see it HERE), my Mom decided to paint several pieces to sell too. She sold most of what she painted except for a few tables. One of the pieces was a quirky antique table. After it didn't sell at the market, she put it up in her attic. About a year later, she was cleaning up there and asked if I wanted to take the table and do something … [Read more...]
99¢ Thrift Store Table Makeover

You read that right, Friends, 99¢ for a table!! Hey there, and welcome to Trash-to Treasure Tuesday, one of my favorite days of the month! Not only am I sharing a thrifty makeover today, but four of my favorite treasure-maker friends are too! Look for their posts at the bottom. This table is a perfect trash-to-treasure project! Clearly the person who priced it thought it was trash. I found it while thrifting, just before the holidays. (When I was supposed to be Christmas shopping, of … [Read more...]
Drum Table Makeover
January 3, 2017 by
Hello lovely Friends! It's a fresh new year and I am excited to kick it off with one of my favorite things in the whole world...a thrifty makeover! This one is a real trash-to-treasure project. I really worked hard last year to whittle down my to-do project pyramid that has consumed my garage, so I have enjoyed thrifting again guilt-free lately. (I may or may not be meeting my maximum capacity in the garage again. #oopsie) A couple of weeks before Christmas I picked up this drum table for … [Read more...]
