DIY Shabby Chic Desk Transformation

Woven Chair Seat
Woven Chair Seat I picked this chair up at a local auction a couple of weeks ago. There were a lot of chairs at the sale, but there was a bunch of competition with the bidding. I prefer cheap, so I patiently waited. I finally snagged this one. I actually think the other bidders took […]
Laminate Cupboards Restyled I picked up these cupboards at a local auction a few weeks ago for a couple of bucks. By the looks of them you probably think I paid too much. I mean, they are laminate! You can’t paint laminate! Wrong. First of all I need to explain the difference between laminate and […]
