Happy New year my friends! December flew by like no other month. It was here and then all of a sudden it was Christmas and then New Years and yeah, not much was accomplished blog wise. But I'm back and I have a royal treat for you today! I was asked to redo a desk as a Christmas gift for a fun and spunky 12 year old and the biggest request was that it had to be purple. Here's what it looked like before, without the legs attached. I chose a purple called "Lavender" from Rustoleum's Chalked paint line to use on the desk. The base needed some minor[...]

Furniture Makeovers
It's no secret that I love to paint furniture. If I could, I would paint ALL the furniture. But then I'd probably end up homeless. From time to time you may want to add a little something extra to your furniture. A little pattern, a little oomph, some pizazz maybe?

It's a furniture makeover day! Yay! I wish I could spend my days putting new life into furniture rather than sitting in a too cold office, but alas, it's just not yet meant to be. A lady had contacted me about redoing a vanity table she had and I jumped all over it.

0 It's been awhile since I've shared a furniture makeover on the blog. Come think to think of it, it's been forever since I've actually re-finished a piece of furniture!! I snagged this mid century beauty off a local buy and sell page recently for a whopping $25 with the full intention of converting it into a media console. I've been wanting to tackle a project like this for a while, it was just hard to find the right dresser to do it with! As soon as one comes up on the buy and sell pages, it's gone. 9 drawer dressers are apparently a popular item in these parts[...]
