Distressed Vintage Style Bread Box

Oh my goodness, have I been busy!

I've been preparing for an upcoming show and, let's just say, it's resulted in a frenzied attempt to make as much as possible! I'm sure everyone out there who does craft shows can relate!

But today I'm returning to finally show you another one of my kitchen updates. This thrift store bread box got a quick update with paint and lettering and it so fun in my kitchen!

Classic White Bedroom Furniture Makeover

I don't typically paint furniture white.

But I think this bedroom pair I recently made-over

has got me headed in a new direction!

Vintage Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover

I'm finally finished with what I'm calling my

Vintage Farmhouse Style Bathroom Makeover

and thrilled to be sharing it all with you today!

My rental house bathroom was in desperate need of change.

It all started with a shower curtain...

Vintage Scale Sign and Wall Hook

I've been spending some time lately redecorating my bathroom.

After taking care of some basics and storage items,

I got busy on a few fun projects,

like this vintage scale that I converted into a bathroom wall hook and sign!

Tenacity and Getting My House in Order

I know a lot of bloggers posted their favorites or most popular posts from 2015.
As usual, I got pretty busy making custom orders for Christmas,
even right up to the last minute,
and then I took a break to spend time with my littles while they were off from school.
Needless to say, I didn't put together any best of posts for last year.
Instead, I'm going to just look forward to this new year.
I've got a ton of plans floating around in my head for getting my own house in order.
I've begun gathering a few things to put them into motion.

Warm and White: A Sewing Cabinet Makeover

Maybe it's the cooler weather.

Or maybe it's the lack of snow in a Michigan December.

Whatever the reason, I'm really loving a warm white color palette lately.

White, beige and a greyish brown are the colors I chose to beautify this sewing cabinet makeover.

Contemporary Rustic Vegetable Bin Makeover

This vegetable bin is something a friend of mine picked up at a yard sale.
It started out with an outdated country style but
with a few new doors and some paint, it's now a modern-rustic piece!

Sweet Little Bench Makeover

Sometimes my friends want me to make them something and we work out a little trade.

That's exactly how I acquired this bench.

I made 2 small pallet signs for a friend and I got this bench to paint and sell.

So paint it, I did!

Record Storage Cabinet Makeover

I found this cute, record cabinet at our local thrift store and bought it for a steal.

It had a few small issues, but nothing that a little glue and nails couldn't handle.

Vintage Milk Bottle Cap Table Makeover

I bought 2 matching round tables from a yard sale last year.

The tops of the tables have indentations around them and, to me,

they resemble a bottle cap.

So I ran with that idea!

Burlap Table Makeover

As a general rule, I'm not a fan of glass table tops.
But, add a little burlap into the mix, and I can become a fan of anything!

Antique Writing Table Makeover

I must be one of the luckiest girls around!

My friends always bring me such fun stuff to work on,

like this sweet, little writing table.

Curvy Antique Table Makeover

A friend brought me this fun vintage table

a few weeks ago.

And I gave it a burgundy makeover!

My Friend Has the Blues!

I was asked to paint this dresser for my friend.

She's probably my best repeat customer ever!

And she has a tiny, little fixation with the color blue.

From Drab to Fab Bookcase Makeover

I've been on a furniture painting frenzy lately!

Truth is, it was necessary as my stock was pretty much non-existent.

And that is not good when you have a booth to fill and shows coming up!

Today's project is a cute little bookcase.

Rescuing a Little Round Table

It isn't often that I can actually pick up a piece of furniture on  the side of the road.

My car is just too darn small!

But I saw this cute table on my way home from work last week and,

GUESS WHAT?

It fit in my car! 

So I scooped it up, brought it home with me and gave it a little makeover!

Teal and Lime Green Dry Sink Makeover

This dry sink was nothing special. Just your standard assembly-required piece of furniture with a very dark finish. Because of it's original dark look, I planned on painting it white and distressing the edges. But things took a turn for the better. ( I think anyway!)

Our Entertainment Center Gets a Makeover!

If you follow my blog, you might already know that most of what I show you are things we make for shows or for our booth. It's rare that I make something for myself. Well, until recently that is. Lately I've been transforming my own living room with new DIY projects. Today I'm showing you the project that started it all!

Coffee for Two Bistro Set

I love sitting on the deck, great cup of coffee in hand, enjoying the very early morning sunlight on a warm summer day. I can almost feel the slight breeze and the sun's warmth on my shoulders. That time of morning before the humidity creeps in and everything is still quiet is my favorite. I think these new chairs and table are the perfect spot to relax at, just soaking it all in before the kids wake up and the day officially starts.

A Big, Bold Chalkboard

What was once a mirror (hmm...hmm... that I broke) is now a large and in charge chalkboard!
