A tiny bit of recycled denim and a whole lot of staples restyled this pitiful cube footstool into a western denim accent. This little cube footstool was a junk find a few years ago. It was dirty, the cover and bottom dust cover were both torn and it was missing a foot. I got it […]

Oh the things my husband gifts me with…should I be offended? Nope! Not me! These kind of presents get my restyling DIY imagination going. He picked it up at a yard sale. It was pretty filthy, but it had great bones for a DIY bench makeover. Even the hinges on the lid were in pretty […]

Kids’ Table & Chairs {3 R’s: Reconstructed, Reimagined, Restyled}
This is the kind of project that starts with huge doubts, but I end up in love with the finished product. A friend was packing up and cleaning out her mother’s house after she relocated and asked if I would be interested in any of the things they were getting rid of. Honestly, I think […]
I have hoarded quite a few spindles in various shapes and sizes. Some came from table legs, some from a headboard and some from table lamps. Please pardon my photos on this project. I’ve been dealing with spring rainstorms all week. After cleaning and sanding all my spindles, I gave them a couple coats of […]
When we were young, naps seemed like a punishment…and then we grew up. As adults, naps are wonderful little mini vacations from our busy days. The inspiration for my Happy Place pillow came from my husband. He has been on overtime for a few weeks and when he comes home the couch is his favorite […]

In this case, the jean seams were my guinea pigs. They were perfect for weaving coasters. Not a broken sewing needle in sight because […]
I dug through my archives and accumulated a baker’s dozen of quick and easy sewing projects. Most use recycled fabrics or scrap fabrics left over from previous projects which make them perfect for a frugal sewer, especially if you are looking for craft show items or a last minute gift. 1. Chenille Bedspread Washcloths 2. […]
This post is packed with a variety of furniture makeovers and restyles I have done over the years. My goal was to list 20 different projects, but after I made my list I had 21. I couldn’t decide on one to cut…so 21 it is! Yay! Bonus project! 1. Vanity Makeover {Antiqued} 2. DIY Shabby […]
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. […]
