How’s your week going?? We finished our kitchen this weekend!!! Yayyyyy!!! I’m planing on sharing the before and afters with you next week. This week, I’m sharing an adorable kitchen makeover for a sweet customer named Jill. Jill has great style and a cute house, but wanted to take on the project of redoing her kitchen cabinets. So happy she called us for help!! 💕 Here’s the pictures of the kitchen that she sent us as before pictures:
She had other things done to the kitchen so it may be hard to even recognize the kitchen if the afters. The new parts include: new floor, backsplash, apron front sink, counters, and some decorations.
We added moulding to the top and the bottom of the cabinets which is different than we normally due, but she wanted that and I really like how it turned out. We also added barn board to the back of the cabinets. We painted the cabinets with Benjamin Moore’s Advanced paint; color Coventry Gray, sealed it with a water based protective clear coat, and added new hardware.
How was your week? We had an appraisal for a refinance on our house yesterday so last week was really stressful trying to pull together all the projects. The kitchen is just small details away from being done and I can’t wait to show you the before and afters. It’s looking soooooo goooooddd!!!
I also took Harmony on her first flight for her birthday! Knoxville was beautiful and the friends we visited were even more beautiful!
For this weeks furniture makeover, I wanted to show you a makeover that I don’t have any before pictures of. I meant to take one, but must not have….
Here it is in all it’s beautiful glory!
We painted it Benjamin Moore’s San Jose Blue, glazed it, and sprayed it with a protective clear coat.

How’s your week going so far? My little Harmony turned 10 this week!! Double digits… I can’t even believe it. If you’ve had the chance to meet her, you’d know how fun and sweet and kind she is. She genuinely cares for others, loves to have quality time, laugh and do anything that means time with the ones she loves. Happy birthday sweet girl. I adore you! 💕
For this week’s transformation, I wanted to show you the before and afters of an antique wash sink that we recently finished to sell at our store.

We painted it black, lightly distressed it, sprayed it with a protective clear coat, and added new hardware.

I hope you’re enjoying routine starting again if you have school aged kids. I know by the end of summer, I feel like I’ve juggled one too many things for far too long and the structure of school is eagerly anticipated in our house. I adore the summer with the kids, don’t get me wrong, but it’s like juggling so many balls at once. I usually feel like I’m just barely doing anything well. To all of the faithful customers who had patience with me this summer, I adore you!! Thank you for interacting with grace and patience for this small business owner.
Last weekend, we brought out the autumn decor at FunCycled! If you didn’t get a chance to stop by yet, plan your trip to the store soon to make your house all fall happy! Here’s a little sneak peek for you!
We also went to the Brimfield Flea Market to to restock all the vintage goodness in our store. We picked up more arches, ladders, wooden crates, huckleberry wreaths, and more! It was so much fun!!
If you’d like to stop by this week, remember here are our store hours until Christmas:
For this week’s furniture makeover, I wanted to show you a china cabinet that we just finishes as a custom order for Kathleen.
How are you? Despite Harmony’s fall last week, we were given the clear to head to the beach on vacation as long as she took it easy. We had a wonderful time away with my whole family!
For this week’s makeover, I want to show you a hutch that we redid as a custom order for one of our dear customers.
Before:
We painted the whole piece Cloud Nine OC-119 by Benjamin Moore. We also lightly distressed it and sprayed it with a protective clear coat.

We had am unexpectedly hard day on Friday. Just one normal happy morning that ended in the hospital… the scariest day of my life.
Harmony and Josh went with friends to a town park while I was getting the car worked on. They had just shuttled me home and John was out doing work deliveries. My friend called to say Harmony fell off the diving board and hit her head then handed me off to the EMT on-site. He said they already called 911 and an ambulance was on its way. I ran outside and asked Matt (who works for us) to throw me his keys. He so kindly gave them without any hesitation. Thanks Matt!!
I went as fast as I could but 10 minutes from the park got a call that they couldn’t wait any longer and she was headed to the hospital. THANK GOD John made it there before me as they were putting her in the ambulance and rode with her to the hospital! I turned back around to head to the hospital. I don’t even remember much of the drive except that there was a couch in the middle lane of the highway that I had to swerve around.
I just kept praying and called a couple people to spread the word to pray. When I arrived at the hospital, they weren’t there yet so I paced and prayed and paced and prayed.
When I walked in to see her, instant tears. It was the saddest thing I’d ever seen as a mom. I found out she was getting a running start for the dive on a 9 feet high diving board. While she was backing up, she went too far and fell backwards off the board down to the concrete. We think her head hit a step first and then her left side took most of the impact on the concrete.
Harmony and I cried and hugged. I tried to ask how everything happened so we knew what to have checked but she said talking about it made her sad and would just cry. She slowly told me more details all night and even now.
The grace part??? This could have been so much worse. All the doctors couldn’t believe how good she was for the fall she took! Two of the lifeguards at the pool were my good friends kids (thank you Emma and Sevi). Harmony told me how kind you both were and telling me about you was the first smile I saw on her face.
Harmony has a laceration at the top of her head that needed staples, has a concussion, and has huge bruising on her left side. But nothing is broken. Nothing. All the doctors kept saying she’s so lucky. I choose to believe God was watching over her and thank Him so much for a happy ending to this story. We are home now. She’s sore but in good spirits!!
Harmony said to me the day it all happened, I’m so thankful we have God to give us strength on days like today. He makes it so much better. 💕💕 You’re right sweet Harmony Grace. So right. I know this isn’t the ending to everyones story, but I’m so grateful it’s the ending to ours today.
How are you all? I can’t wait to show you this weeks furniture makeover. I bought this vanity recently:
Vanity Before
I wanted it to have a slightly pink hue to it so I painted it with Benjamin Moore’s Proposal. Then we heavily distressed it and sprayed it with a protective clear coat. We also added new hardware.

How was your week? Last week felt like the typically summer week with jam packed days, but I was able to balance work and family time better than normal last week which felt really great. So thankful for that! John and I were able to go on a date, too!
This week, I want to show you a furniture makeover that I absolutely love.
Here it is before:
Dresser Before
We painted the whole thing Black by Benjamin Moore then we stained each drawer a different color. We added new hardware and sprayed the whole piece with a protective clear coat.

How are you? Can you believe it’s August??? Yeah, me either. It’s crazy how fast the summer flies by. Actually, life just seems to be flying by for me lately. My toddlers seem to have turned into little pre-teens this summer. They’ve matured. I’ve watched them change in what seems like such a short time. Also, if you think we make cute furniture – furniture’s got nothing on the kids we make *swoon*. Not that I had any choice in how they turned out, but I had to show you a couple pictures that I took this week on a random ice cream outing as a family.
I’m so excited to share this makeover with you. I absolutely love redoing tiny spaces and our half bath was one of those spaces in our Repurposed Idea House. I love that you can splurge a bit and sometimes need to create one of a kind pieces to make it work in the space. This bathroom was so small, I couldn’t even get a good picture of it. Here’s the only one I have though:
We ended up ripping out the walls and insulating them and then adding white shiplap. I wanted to keep this room light and airy. The biggest change to make the space feel larger was building the sliding barn door and taking off the door that opened INTO the bathroom. It helped so much!!
My friend Carrie mentioned the idea of adding Hi to the floor and I absolutely loved it! I knew I had to right away! This is the cute little detail that makes a small space special.
We also had to find a very tiny vanity because anything other than that wouldn’t work in this space. Antiques are really hard to find in petite sizes so off I went to the “normal” stores with a tape measure to find a piece that would fit into the space. We found this adorable metal cabinet at Hobby Lobby and then had to alter it for piping, tung oil it to be able to handle the moisture from the sink, add the vessel and sink top, and shorten most of the drawers so they fit in front of the pipes. It took quite a bit of work, but it was worth it!
To warm up the space, I added wainscoting to the ceiling as well!
We also spray painted the radiator and pipes black!
Above the sink we added a small mirror and black light fixture as well.
Next month, I’m hoping we’ll be able to share the before and afters of our new kitchen! Sign up for our weekly newsletter so you don’t miss out by adding your email in the little box below my picture.
