Old Settee Breathes New Life!

You probably didn't even miss me, but we have been gone to Vegas Baby!


If you are ever going and can catch a show, you should see Terry Fator! He won America's Got Talent in 2008 and puts on a really well done and funny show.


On with the Settee project...





Before we left, I was working like crazy on our new MUD ROOM that I will show you later, however for now, I will show you how I

My Favorite Projects of 2011

I really can't believe how many projects that I completed in 2011, mostly because of this blog. I feel the need to continually show you something new and different that I have made or transformed. Later, you can check out my Before & Afters tab at the top of my blog page.

I decided to look back at what I have done, and pick my 12 favorite ones and tell you why...in no particular order.

Here we

Haley's Night Stand

It's funny...life.


Things happen and then they come back around again.

What am I talking about?

A couple of years ago, someone gave me four wooden finials. She new that I re-purposed things and might have a use for them.

Fast forward to garage sale season. I found this night stand...and I knew I could make it into something fun but I hated the legs and drawer knob. Out went the knob and off

A Clients Before and Afters

I just couldn't wait to share with you a couple of projects that I did today. I am working with a client on their new home. I am shopping for furniture, art, lamps and decor. It is all consuming and I can't believe the amount of time it takes to find things for their home. I guess if there were more than just me doing it, it wouldn't take as much time. I then am doing all the sewing, painting and

White Bookcase Breathes New Life!

I found a Diamond In The Rough!

It was a vintage bookcase with bad bleed-through! It cost $35 and included the wood shelves, door and some new, unused glass shelves. It needed a lot of love. The lady had misplaced the original hardware, so I will have to find some replacements.

What do you do when you have bleed-through of the stained wood or knot holes through the paint? You seal the whole

Oh So Beautiful Dresser!

Boy, Do I ever have a Lovely to show you!!!



On one of my recent Diamonds In The Rough! posts, I came across a very tired and abused, solid cherry dresser with great bones. At a price of only $20, how could I pass it up. 

It even came with a matching framed mirror.
 I have great vision when I see what something CAN become. And I knew this dresser would be the beauty that she has become now.
