How ever could I forget this before and after? Remember this vanity? I purchased it from a couple who were selling most of their possessions to move to Arizona. They’d had an emergency on vacation at one point and…
Makeovers
This trunk was hauled out of a barn I think. The shop owner was ready to mark it as salvage and nearly give it away… the veneer on top was buckled and pulling… The interior, however, was in fabulous…
Might the thought of “Why on earth would you put makeup on Furniture?” be running through your head as you read the title of this post? The van Gogh chalk paint collection has this super fun line of finishing…

So I have been busy… some days I’m not quite sure with what… but busy none the less. I DO actually have something to show for it at the moment though: What do you think? Here’s a bit closer…
I found this hope chest at a thrift store last week. Isn’t it just dated? This isn’t the original fabric. The saddest part to me is that they didn’t even recover it properly. Can you see? They just…
