I had such a strong vision for these cute nesting tables that I began working on them before I realized I hadn’t taken a photo in their original state. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with them. They were just ordinary, boring and had no character, but I knew they would look extraordinary and […]

This cool vanity was given to me by a sweet friend who is always thinking about me. I think she thought it was beyond help when she showed it to me, but it had good basic bones. I just knew it had beauty ready to come out. The bench, on the other hand, did not […]
More restyling from my crate pile. These two crates are the last ones from this pile that I’ll be doing. The last crate I’m gonna leave as is to use as a display in my craft booths and shows. The crates used for this project are the bottom two in this picture. They were very […]
More crate love! If you remember my post on the Farmhouse Crates, I had a pile of old crates that needed attention. This produce crate had a cardboard body similar to chip board. Since the chip board was so sturdy I wanted to try and work with it. The chip board was stained so […]
My husband talked me into doing another spring craft show. I know, I know…after last year I swore (yet again) I would NOT do another show in the spring, but at least with this one we will have a roof over our heads and a floor under our feet…well, sorta. More on that at a […]

Vintage-Style Grocery Sign
Another project inspired by Fixer Upper. You may remember my Scrap Wood Clock Faces and Words of Wisdom Window Signs. That show always has such cute decor ideas. I don’t remember which episode had the Philbert Grocery sign hanging on a dining room wall, but I was able to Google the image to get a […]
Oops, I didn’t get a before pic of this taken. Things got kinda wild while I was getting ready for craft shows. Trust me, it was a hot mess of paint that needed a do-over. I’m calling this a bar stool/table because I’m not sure what it is. I decided it could be either. I […]

Vintage Porch Spindle Snowmen
I’m not too far out of season with these vintage porch spindle snowmen. Actually, if you consider we are just getting into the snowy, snowman building time of the year, I am right on time. These snowmen started out as a box of dirty porch spindles my husband found at a garage sale for $4. […]

Restyled Rocking Horse
Whew! Christmas is over. It’s been several months of constantly crafting for shows, gifts and articles. Not to mention planning for the next show, attending shows, Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, preparing for Christmas day and dinner. It seems kinda strange to wake up the day after and not have a huge list to tackle […]

Kids’ Western Table and Chairs Restyle
This cute little set would be perfect in a child’s room, but would also blend well in other living areas of your home. It didn’t start out that way though… This was a junk find I picked up this summer. The surface looked like a child had scribbled just about everywhere with markers. I’m thinking […]
