Can anybody really have too many washstands? I honestly love these little pieces–they’re such a quick makeover and can be used in so many different spaces in your home! This one I found recently at a local flea market. The wood was kinda orangey...
I think old washstands are my absolute favorite pieces to paint. Not only are they small (and so make for a quick project), they’re just so versatile! You can use them in so many different rooms and for so many different purposes. Here’s one I found...
I am a sucker for these little oak washstands! I just can’t resist anytime I see one at a flea market or estate sale. I love their primitive character! I also love though just how sturdy these pieces are–that’s one of the best things about working...
As if painting furniture wasn’t fun enough already . . . have you tried to paint furniture with metallic paint? Whether you use it all over a piece or just as an accent, it can really up the “wow” factor of your finished project! My personal favorite...
For the longest time we lived with yellow-cream walls in our living room. Not by choice–they were that color when we moved in, and we just had to make do for awhile. After 6 years though, I was finally able to hire someone to come in and paint the giant 2-story...
Whenever you find a beautiful piece of furniture, with good “bones” the question always comes…”What should I do with this?” It takes some time to really feel out a piece, and decide what will give it a new life that will honor the type of...
Hey Friends!! I’ve got a new furniture makeover to share with you today! Ya’ll know how I love any piece of furniture with cane, so when I saw this coffee table at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore I snatched it up! See that caned shelf...
Hi Friends! I’m so excited to share this makeover today. It’s elegant, classy, but bold and bright. It’s totally in my wheelhouse but then a little out of my comfort zone at the same time . . . So it’s just a fun one to share. I got this chest...
Hey friends! It’s been awhile since I had a Fusion makeover to share with you! I’ve been on a milk paint kick lately, so my bottles of Fusion have spent some time resting on the shelf. But when I came across this 60’s french provincial dresser awhile...
Hey friends! Mid Century Modern is a fantastic style, but it’s also difficult to “do right” when you’re trying to update the sleek modern style. I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk specifically about how to paint mid century...
It’s official–I have writer’s block. All of my creativity has totally leaked out of my brain over the past month. I think it is some combination of the heat, humidity, and 3 little people running around my house. I have been trying and trying to...
I have another makeover to share with you today! Last month I painted a small writing desk and it sold super quickly. After it sold, I had several customers asking if I happened to have any more writing desks in my stash–apparently there is quite...
Happy June Everyone! My kids finished up school last week, just in time for 5 days in a row of rain . . . But we are enjoying the slower pace of the summer days in spite of the constant wetness outside. I missed sharing a Fusion Color of the Month with you all last...
Hey friends! It’s been awhile since I have posted about any of my finds. To be honest, I’m not out on the hunt quite as often as I used to be simply because I struggle to find the time! But I did make it to a few markets over the past month and did some...
Hey Friends! Let’s talk color today . . . specifically about the trending soft, mint color that has become quite popular in the past few years. Adding this color brings a lightness and freshness into any space. In the photo above, the room is...
Today I want to talk a little business with you all, specifically about how to set up and stage attractive, well-thought-out, professional looking photos of your furniture makeovers. Some of you may cringe as I mention photography, thinking “I’m just a...
When I first started painting furniture pieces to sell about 4 years ago, I wanted to antique finish everything. Dark wax was all the rage and every piece I saw around me seemed to have that aged, vintage finish. But as time went on, I found myself using an...
Hi everybody! It’s time for another furniture makeover! Is this not a gorgeous piece? I was contacted by the owner of this antique buffet about a month ago. She had recently downsized from a home into an apartment and was wanting to really...
Warning! I’m a little bit out of my comfort zone with this furniture makeover today! I wanted to try out a color though from the new Fall 2016 Fusion Mineral Paint Color Collection. Have you tried any of them yet? I decided to play first with Midnight...
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...
Hi everybody! How has your week been? We had an interesting week here, very different than our normal routine! I had painters here for 2 full days painting my living room, entry, stairway, and upstairs hallway–which if you’ve been following me for a...
Some of my least favorite words to hear are “I just want to paint it white.” I really try to avoid painting anything white . . . Not because I don’t like the style, but more so because I want to be creative and try something new and fun. I know...
Welcome to the weekend and another week of Friday’s Furniture Fix! We had a great party last week–a wonderful turnout and so many beautiful furniture makeovers to look through. I would love to hear what pieces caught your eye. Be sure to note...
Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeee . . . . . Happy Birthday to Me 🙂 Yes, today is the day I begin my official “downhill slide” towards 40 (meaning I turned 36, in case my metaphor was too vague–haha). What...
Spring is officially here and Easter is just around the corner . . . I hope you all are enjoying the warming weather! You know what other season has just arrived? Furniture Painting Season! Yep, time to get out in that garage and paint some pieces while it’s...
Welcome to another Friday’s Furniture Fix! I hope you all had fantastic week. I spent a lot of time this week digging in the dirt–hopefully here in a few weeks I will have some vegetables to show for my hard work. I’m keeping my fingers crossed...
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...
Welcome to another Friday’s Furniture Fix! I hope you all had a wonderful week. We are just finishing up our spring break, and unfortunately it rained all week, which was a bummer. We made the best of it though! Back to the party . . . This is a...
It’s been a few years now since the popularity of Mid Century Modern furniture pieces began to grow. I think the trend is probably now here to stay, at least awhile. What used to be more on the fringe of the average decorating style has now become much more...
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...
I am super excited to share this nightstand makeover with you today!For one, I love how this project turned out and I will enjoy sharing a new paint method with you.But also, I get to partner with 4 other great bloggers in showcasing Fusion Metallics while also...
This past year has really been amazing for Lost & Found. What started 3 years ago as somewhat of a hobby has grown into a real, all-out small business. And honestly, while watching Lost & Found grow has been amazing, it’s also been a little tough....
I am so excited to show you this project! Normally, I am not one to go for painting a piece all white, but I love how this piece turned out. I met my lovely client via a referral from another client (the white China Cabinet client). She had this great...
The end of the year is approaching, which means it’s time for all those “Best of 2015” posts 🙂 I enjoy looking back at the stats from the year and seeing, overall, what you all enjoyed the most. And I get to relive the makeovers a little bit in the...
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...
Over the weekend I got a text from Julie, the owner of The Feathered Nest, asking if I could get together a half-painted piece of furniture to showcase in her Fusion Mineral Paint window display. I loved the idea so much of having a half-finished piece, but I...
