The guest bedroom is moving along, which is so nice to see since the room sat as a complete danger (aka, junk) zone for months… When I decided to give this room a much needed refresh, one of the elements I knew I wanted to keep, was the headboard. I originally made it 10 plus…

There’s nothing quite like having overnight guests coming to give you that needed push to get your guest room in shape… that’s right, my cousins came to stay with us for a night, and it completely motivated me to get the guest room to a state where it could actually function as a guest room!…

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I took a few weeks off for the holiday, and it was very much needed, but I’ve been busy behind the blog scene prepping for Christmas! I’ve been decorating up a storm, creating new ways to celebrate Christmas in our home and I’m loving the fresh new perspective…

Painting furniture is easily one of the best ways to get major bang for your buck. Not only can you completely transform a piece of furniture, but it also does the budget good. Furniture that was once ugly, dated and neglected can quickly transform into the belle of the ball… That’s the power of paint, and it’s…

I mentioned yesterday how much I’ve wanted to give our breakfast nook table a makeover. It’s felt really “orange” to me lately, and that doesn’t really work. When I found new chairs for the table, I finally had the push I needed.  I gave the table a makeover.  Really, the process was pretty simple. It…

Our dining room has come a loooong way. I kind of shudder at some of the first pictures I posted several years ago. We’ve changed basically ever single item in the room, except for the table and original chairs that came with the set. The most recent change I made, was the black end chairs….

Bedrooms need storage, and there’s no better way to add that than by converting a dresser into a night stand. It offers more storage space, all while giving the flexibility of size, shape, and form to match your decor style. See how I transformed our master bedroom dresser into a night stand… One thing I’ve…

Before I gave this bedroom night stand a makeover, it was dark, dated and a little depressed. See how the power of paint and a little bit of hard work transformed this beautiful night stand! I’m slowly working on our master bedroom. It’s always been the room that “collects” things. If I don’t know where…

Oh. Man. I am so excited to share one of my biggest furniture makeover’s to date! Early this spring, I decided it was time to put to use, and really use, our back patio. Until a about a month ago, we had a huge, lovely patio with random miscellaneous furniture. And some of it wanted…

I love hearing the birds chirp. It’s such a happy sound! And since we don’t have very big trees, I love it when they do decide to stop by and sing a tune for the house. That’s exactly why I was so excited to have a cute little bird house to give a makeover. I…

I think I may have mentioned before that I really, really love a good stool. There’s just something about them. And heaven knows I’ve done my fair share of makeovers on a stool or two. This girl can’t resist them. And today’s makeover fits into that same category… Here’s what she looked like when I…

A while back my sister in law went on a little antique shopping trip with me and stumbled upon a cute child’s desk. Albeit, the desk needed a bit of TLC, and definitely a new paint job, but it was perfect for my nephews, so we loaded it up and she dropped it off at…

I’ve had so much on my to do list lately, that I’ve felt like I’ve been spinning. And not necessarily in a good way. More like the kind of spinning that leads to zero progress on anything. It’s not my favorite feeling in the world. And in the midst of not knowing what I was…

I can’t be the only one who has (or had) a filing cabinet that’s not the prettiest thing to look at. And since we must have them for our office to survive the chaos of paper, I decided it was silly to not paint ours. While the cabinet itself wasn’t bad, I’m not a huge…

Today is all about a really cute park bench that found its way from the fixer upper, to our home. Anthony and I spend a lot of time in our detached garage/ shop working on projects for the house/ farm and blog, but the thing is, we never really had a place to sit and…

Alright, I admit it. I really love me a step stool. Big or small, tall or short, I just really love them. (Here’s some proof: Stool 1, Stool 2, Stool 3!) So much in fact, that I currently have four sitting in our garage. I can’t help myself. If I see one at a garage…

Garage sales are still one of my very favorite places to find awesome things. Typically, the prices can’t be beat and you find unique items. Sure, a lot of the time you have to wade through the bad to find the good, but that’s part of the process. Luckily, I can tell pretty quickly if…

Oh man! I am totally gearing up to start my fall front porch decorating! It’s one of my favorite places to spruce up each season. It’s the first place people see when they walk into our home, so I like to keep it consistent with the decorating inside, while still making it interesting and different…

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to be sharing a new (to me) chalk based/ no-prep paint! When Maison Blanche Paint Company contacted me about trying out their paint and finishing products, I was all for it. Paint is one of the quickest and easiest ways to instantly update and I couldn’t wait to give their…

A while back I was thrift shopping with my very good friend when I ran into an awesome spinning stool. Interestingly enough, I almost walked right by it because it had a huge 8 inch thick foam seat covered in some very stained denim. It also had wire wrapped all around the base of the…

Happy Friday! I’m back today to share another Krylon spray paint challenge project. I’ve joined a group of bloggers that were given the challenge of coming up with a DIY project using Krylon® Spray Paints. We were each given a unique color palette, and we each had to use all the colors in the project….

A while back I was doing a bit of thrift store shopping when I bumped into a small beauty of a table. Needless to say, a short while later I was loading it up into the back of my truck and headed home with a big smile on my face. I just knew it would…

I have a thing for old step stools. They tell such a fabulous story and I love the “wear” on them. Just imagine everything they’ve seen. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled when I found my own farmhouse step stool… er, or a stool to make into my own farmhouse step stool. After giving…

I have this Aunt… she’s a pretty special lady. And she has a pretty special husband too. He happens to keep my wood stock full, and she happens to be a major supporter of the WGC. A while back, I stumbled across a set of eight lovely cafe chairs. I absolutely loved their style and…
