Like my free dresser? I picked this little gem off the curb for ZERO DOLLARS. My favorite price. Broden got a new bed that is pretty high and it needed a nightstand so I decided to repurpose this piece rather than build/buy an extra tall nightstand. The bedroom has an antique black iron bed that [...]
I am just loving houndstooth lately. I’ve been on the look out for something to paint houndstooth and this little stool seemed like the perfect victim! It was $6 but it was 1/2 off orange tags so I got it for $3! Before. Snooze. Too boring. I spray painted the whole thing white and then [...]
The boys and I have been working on their rooms together. My 5 year old wanted a Star Wars room. Which worked out great because we already had the duvets that were purchased from PBkids a few years ago. I think all little boys go through a Star Wars phase. My Dad is a college [...]
So we are moving to a new house next week! I’m so excited because it has a yard for my kids to play in and more bedrooms. Right now all three of our boys share a room, oh the fighting that leads to. The best thing to do if you have to move in a [...]
My oldest son is 13 and we needed a dresser for his room. I think we are going with an explorer type theme so I decided it would be fun to mod podge a map to his dresser. It was way easier than I thought it would be and turned out great. I found this [...]
I got a lot of questions about how I painted the oak bookcase in the playroom so I thought I’d make a post about it. The other playroom details can be found here. This is how the bookcase started. I think some of it was oak and some was laminate. I started out by using deglosser [...]
So excited about my first staining project! I LOVE to paint stuff but when I saw this cute little nightstand I knew it would be perfect just as it was if it just wasn’t so banged up. It was $25 on craigslist and I was actually going to pick up the dresser for my sons [...]
Disclaimer since I know some people are going to freak that I painted this cabinet. I bought it for SUPER cheap because it was already broken. Because if someone has a piece of crap furniture that is broken they offer it to me because everyone knows I LOVE broken junk. Then we moved the cabinet [...]
Remember the corner dresser/bookshelf in the office? We got rid of the bottom part to make room for my new corner desk but I still wanted the shelf part. So now I have this! I painted the back of it Sea salt by Sherwin Williams to match the walls. Love! Don’t know why I didn’t [...]
I think everyone that got married in the 90′s has one of these light pine laminate TV cabinets. Ours spent 6 years in storage and then didn’t match any of our other furniture or fit the newer flat TV that we have now. So I repurposed it and put it in the boys room. To [...]
