Shabby Chic Style White and Teal Hutch

Shabby Chic Style White and Teal Hutch

This hutch redesign was fun and required some creative thinking. Thankfully, John and I like being creative. We drove almost an hour from home to buy this hutch from a nice family who had so kindly allowed Spiderman to live…

A Splash of Teal Brings New Life

A Splash of Teal Brings New Life

This buffet is actually the first piece of furniture John and I ever worked on together. When we first got married we had VERY little money so our friends John and Devon gave us this buffet. It was almost that…

How to Repaint a Hutch

How to Repaint a Hutch

My next furniture project came from my dear friend, Lara. When I was a little girl, she was a teenager who went to the same church as I did. I remember watching her and admiring her joy, beauty, compassion, and love for God.…

Modern Tree Coffee Table

Modern Tree Coffee Table

This was a really fun coffee table redesign! I wanted to push myself to try something new. We got this at a yard sale two summers ago. Sad, I know, that it sat for so long. Let's get right to…

Ladies and Gents Dressers – Part 2

Ladies and Gents Dressers – Part 2

Pine Dresser DIY Refacing

Pine Dresser DIY Refacing

This solid pine, antique dresser was so much fun to make over; my favorite project so far. We found this on craigslist and drove 40 minutes into the country to pick it up. The trip out there on a Sunday…

For the Love of Teal! Chair

Antique Night Stand – Sanding and Glazing

Antique Night Stand – Sanding and Glazing

Half-Moon Hall Table Face Lift

Half-Moon Hall Table Face Lift

Our good friend, Jo Ann, (you will probably hear her name mentioned quite a bit) had this little hall table that was her grandmothers. It had a crack on one side and she wanted that fixed, to have us paint…

Buffet Bliss

This buffet was given to us from a dear friend, Janet. It was her great grandmother's. We still have the matching table set, but the buffet ended up not fitting in our new dining room. Our friend Jo Ann had…

Antique Rocking Chair Make Over

My Aunt Alice gave us this rocking chair. I loved the style instantly, but it needed some work. Here's step by step instructions on how we fixed it up. The wood underneath the back of the chair had split so…
