I had the pleasure of working on making over a vintage Thomasville gentleman’s chest recently. Blogger 101 fail . . . I forgot to take a before picture of the chest, so this is the picture my client provided. This chest had belonged to my...
Remember this pink and gold beauty? This little antique dresser belongs to a friend of mine. It was a hand-me-down piece that she was hoping to use for her youngest daughter. Before she could move it into her daughter’s new big-girl room though,...
If you’re a furniture makeover fan, today is your lucky day!I have a great one to share with you, featuring another color from the brand new Fusion Mineral Paint Tones for Tots Collection. Last week I shared a makeover using Little Lamb and Little Stork, which...
Last week I introduced to you the new line of colors from Fusion Mineral Paint, called the Tones for Tots Collection. Today, I have my first makeover using a TFT color to share. I found this old dresser stuck in a back corner at a local antique mall. It was literally...
A while back a friend posted on Facebook that she was giving away a vintage Dixie bedroom set–a full-size bed with headboard and footboard, along with a chest of drawers. I waited for a bit (I think maybe a day) before I commented that I would gladly take it, to...
I teased you all a few days ago with a picture of this chest of drawers. It was a Craigslist find, and I was lucky enough to live right down the street from the seller! When I picked up the chest it was a lot bigger than I was expecting it to be. This...
A few weeks ago at one of my favorite local flea markets, I ran into a frequent Fusion Mineral Paint customer of mine. My customer and her husband are actually regular vendors at the market and she was so kind to show me through her booth. I love getting to know my...
What are your thoughts when you see this little dresser? Does it look dated to you? Or do you think it shouts “farmhouse style!” Would you notice this dresser in a space or do you think it’s too blah to stand-out? Personally, I like it as-is. I...
Hi! A huge thank you to Lauren for offering me the opportunity to guest post today! I am super excited to share a recent project of mine with you all. In my little circle I am known as “The Paint Lady.” I have been making over vintage or unwanted...
Well it’s been awhile since yall have heard from me . . . What can I say? Life has been a little crazy. But to make up for my absence, I have a great furniture makeover to share with you today! I bought this little maple chest off of a Facebook garage sale...
I found this little chest of drawers at last month’s flea market. I loved the dual tone of the wood drawer fronts and wish I could have salvaged them, but the piece was pretty beaten up. The problem with these modern-lined pieces is that once you paint...
I met this little oak dresser a few months ago at Canton Trade Days. Like most oak dressers, it was well-built and sturdy. Its drawers still functioned well and the wood was overall in good condition, with just a few minor nicks and scratches on the top. Usually when...
Selling painted furniture means that you are constantly seeing old pieces come back to life. It was no different with this exquisite dresser. For you wood furniture purists out there, let me go ahead and say that I know this dresser has beautiful, burled wood veneer...
It’s the third day of our spring break, and the sun is finally out here in Texas! It’s been two week solid of gloomy, cold weather–and I am over it! The bad news though is that we have two ill members of our household, so our spring break has been...
I have been on a furniture buying binge lately. Sometimes I can’t help myself when I see something great for sale. That’s the story of these two oak dressers . . . Both were being sold for a fantastic price and were in very good structural shape. These are...
So I shared with you a few days ago some furniture prep and cleaning tips, and gave you a peek at my new makeover project: I came across this gorgeous french provincial bedroom set this summer while responding to an ad on Craigslist for a cast iron bed. The lady who...
Craigslist has been very kind to me lately. I haven’t been able to make it out to as many flea markets and estate sales as I usually like to hit, so I have been having to make up for it by hunting down finds on CL. Two weeks ago, this great antique...
If it seems like I’ve been cranking out more furniture makeovers than normal lately . . . well, I have 🙂 I wrote last week about the selling binge that has been going on at my mall and my meager efforts to keep up with the demand. This great antique oak dresser...
Every once in awhile I stumble upon a really easy furniture piece to makeover. It’s so nice when a piece comes to me sturdy, with no chipped veneer or missing knobs, no broken drawer bottoms . . . just in need of new paint. I don’t buy these easy...
Happy Friday everyone! Today I am so excited to be the featured shop owner at Coastal Charm’s weekly feature “Shop Talk”. When Linda asked me to be the guest for the week, I was honored and thrilled to share a little more about Lost & Found...
I promised you all in my last post some “after” photos of this cute little chest I recently bought. It was a Craigslist find, and in really good shape. I love the 4-drawer size too, it’s just kind of petite and fits well into most any...
You may remember a month or so ago, after whining on here about not being able to find any affordable french provincial bedroom pieces in my area on Craigslist, I came upon this fantastic vintage Basset set for sale on Facebook. A friend tipped me off...
Hello everybody! It’s been a long week away. I appreciate all of you who offered prayer and kind words after the sudden passing of my Uncle last week (read here to be updated).My husband and I had a really great trip down to southern Georgia to be with my family...
Wow, it has been a whirlwind these past few days! I told you all about the giant haul of furniture I scored over the weekend off of Craigslist . . . Well I was able to get one piece basically finished over the weekend, with the exception of having new hardware. I...
I have a confession: I have to give credit to Miss Mustard Seed for the design of this dresser. She refinished one last summer with a hand-painted cherry blossom pattern on the drawer fronts and I loved it! I have been hunting forever for a small dresser with good...
