It’s my anniversary, well my 6 month anniversary.  I’ve been selling my items at Two Women and A Warehouse ( here and here) since April.   I got all fancy and ordered hang tags.   If you know me, you know that I love paper products. I didn’t need these.  But …

(all of these photos were taken with my phone~I’ve been too crazy busy to grab the camera) I’m wired for repurposing. I don’t know when or how it happened.   But when I see broken, damaged items at cheap prices I think about how I could use them.  Heaps of …

Sometimes you find a perfectly good piece of furniture, but it’s not all wood… Prime, Flat Paint, Glaze and Wax  When shopping for furniture to refresh, my first choice is all wood. I do like a challenge, and I don’t back down easy. If there’s a will, I try to …

If you thrift as much as I do, I know you’ve seen these. They were brown and built to last. Around here, there’s very little need for brown. So I primed, painted, added a little light interest and sanded. I would love to find more of these, talk about quick …

I love it when a plan comes together, I could have been part of  the “A” Team 🙂 The little desk was sturdy, simple, in great shape and all wood. I had ordered the Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue Chalk Paint, and I waited and waited for the right project to …

I have a Shabby Cottage Coffee Table Makeover for you today! Have you ever thought about the difference between a coffee table and a cocktail table? I never really thought about it.  Until I started working on this basic brown cocktail table. I had to remove the legs to get …

I hope you’ll go over and see my last creation and it’s not a girl this time. Click here to see me over at Cassie’s!  Primitive & Proper be.refreshed.

My friends on Facebook are so nice.   I posted the before picture of one of the chairs and they made comments about why someone would do this: The previous owners used a plastic tablecloth for  the seat cushion. Most commented that they must have children or that they are …

I joke about having a problem.  When I look at it like this, I know it’s true.  The following furniture pieces are at different stages of completion.  No words are necessary…I took these photos this morning 🙂 I’m confident, that this is only half of them. Now you know, I …

I love refreshing dressers. You know the ones that are all wood and in great condition. I painted the body and part of the drawers Annie Sloan Chalk Paint ~ Old White. For the top and mid section of the drawers, I used ASCP Duck Egg Blue as the base …
