Thanks to Maison Blanche Paint Company for sponsoring this post and helping me love my pine bookcase again 🙂 Do you own a piece of furniture that you’ve had for a long time but it just doesn’t look right in your space? That’s how I’ve felt about this pine bookcase, I’ve …

I love painting furniture, thanks to Maison Blanche Paint Company for sponsoring this post. For two years this cutie has been forgotten, left for spider webs and dust, just existing…in the garage. It’s a piece that my little sister found 6 or 7 years ago. A mass produced, non antique …

I gave my entry some much needed attention last week. Even though I love the pieces that I have in here, I was not feeling the combo of dark mirror, dark lamps and light buffet. Being the furniture painter that I am, I wonder why I waited so long! This was a …

I’m cheap and I love finding ways to refresh our home without spending any money! January was filled with decluttering, donating and trashing stuff.  Some of my favorite things, like this cow, are really hard to part with. She’s been in storage and I’ve had her for a while. I was debating whether to donate …

Today I’m sharing my latest refreshed project: Dresser Makeover with Stain and Paint After moving last year, last year – that sounds like a long time ago, I found that I  needed a few new refreshed pieces of furniture.  Lucky for me we moved to an area with lots of antique/junk …

I’m always talking about dressers and chests, today I’m sharing a cute little kid’s table and chair set. The sweet owner of this little set had just moved to town. Mom and Dad had an idea to make over her favorite piece of furniture. To make her feel a little …

We all have those pieces of furniture.  The ones that fit just right where they are.  Like they were made for that spot. This piece fits just right in a small hall/entry way.  You walk in the front door and it’s the first thing you see.  The floors are a …

Refresh a Buffet Sideboard with Paint and Stain Let me show you how to wake up a tired, worn and dirty buffet. I have a theory. If it’s all wood, you can save it!  Small Buffet Makeover with Paint So when I saw this piece, I knew that it would …

Three of my favorite things: chevron, yellow and gray. I’m rarely trendy.  But every now and then a trend comes along and I love it! That would be chevron, still love it, don’t know if it’s still trendy. Is it? Another thing I love is yellow. When I start working …

How to Add Interest to A Painted Piece of Furniture: You can paint every piece of furniture that you come across and it will look great.  You can crack open a can of white paint wait for it to dry and distress it a little and call it a day. …

Some things never go out of style. Like an awesome shade of red… I can’t think of anything that doesn’t go great with red. Red, white and Blue Red and black Red and Green Red and orange Formally clad with big gaudy “not” pretty brass hardware. Now sporting  black cup  pulls …
