Over the summer, I spied this junky old coffee table curbside and snatched it right up. With the recent unseasonal temperatures, I decided to take advantage of this perfect spray painting weather, so atypical of mid January!

Who doesn’t love a good curbside rescue?! A friend and I were driving to have dinner when I saw this dumpy chair in my periphery, pulled over and heaved it into the back seat. I knew it was a good find by how heavy and solid it felt. With a little love and a lot
If you read yesterday’s post, this wood pallet headboard project is no surprise to you! I am so very excited about this. I have never done anything like it, and I am plain proud. There is a rustic, shabby look with an interesting texture for a unique feel, and a price tag that can’t be

We needed a dinette set for our new place, since the dining room in our last place doubled as my craft space and now that table is fully dedicated to clay, paint, stamping… messiness! I kept my eyes peeled for a couple of weeks while we were busy painting the various rooms. I wound up
