So, who remembers this desk from our Upcoming Projects page? The leg was broken, but we had all the pieces to bring it back to life. :) It's a beautiful piece, right? I fell in love with it right away…

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. We had a busy Saturday reorganizing the barn and trying to make room for over 30 new furniture pieces. We've added most of them to our Upcoming Projects Page so please…

Hi All! I'm BEYOND excited about this new dresser that I just added to our Furniture For Sale page. Please check it out to see the size info, pricing and to make sure it's still available. When I bought this…

Well... dumpster diving may be a tiny bit of an exaggeration. My friend Jo Ann who reads all of these blog posts and makes sure I use "English" and don't write something I could one day regret (except maybe that post about…

Hi Friends~ I'm having a fun time over here making some really beautiful new pieces. Since it's keeping me busy, I haven't had to post all of the ones I love. So I'm sharing a quick before and after with…

Did I just call something a Dresser Thingy?? Why yes I did! Why? Because I'm a weirdo. Why else? I don't know what to call it really. I picked up this dresser one day and knew it needed lots of…

Good morning everyone! Since it's a snow day here in NY, I thought I would share a quick overview on how to paint an Ombre (or gradient) colored dresser. We started with this dresser: When I bought this little dresser,…

Is it snowing where you are today? Even though it's mid-March here in upstate New York, we're enjoying yet ANOTHER snow storm today. It's days like these that I wonder why I live in NY. Lol! On a much more positive…

Hey everyone! It's been such a crazy week here with almost all of my projects being more complicated than I anticipated. You've probably seen on our Facebook page that 1/2 of my projects kept bleeding through this week. Which means,…

What could be better than a lighted hutch -a huge lighted hutch painted black and distressed to give it just the right feel? Yes indeed, you're right! This is my first ever black hutch. This hutch may look average size,…

Happy Monday everyone! I thought I would surprise you this morning with another quick before and after. I bought this little dresser and loved the shape. We've done many dressers in this style, but for our customer, Pam, we were…

OK, OK, it's not really a coffin... it's just a HUGE beat up old trunk!!! It's so big that I probably could bury my little sister in it (of course I wouldn't - you know that, right, Lee Lee?). Happy Tuesday's…

If you aren't a fan of our Facebook page yet, you might have missed that we added this beautiful Black French Provincial Dresser Set to our For Sale Page. I thought I would surprise you this Monday morning and share the…

To continue with my month of love and celebrating the reds and pinks, I'd like to share another red hutch makeover. We seem to be all about hutches this month with three hutch orders to finish. If you're a fan…

Hello friends! I just wanted to quickly share the before and after pictures of a Kelly Green dresser that we just finished. It's St. Patrick's day this month so OF COURSE we had to help them out with a Kelly…

To continue this month of love in the most appropriate color possible, I'm here to share the best little love story. If you're anything like me, falling in love with my husband slowly grew from friendship to attraction and admiration…

Hi! We're into February... ahh! Where did January go? Well, what better way to start the month of love then with a pink dresser turned red!! Jamie had ordered a couple of pieces from us towards the end of last…

Happy Tuesday's Treasures!! I hope you all stayed warm and out of the gelid weather last week. My only crazy moment was trying to sand down an old table top in our unheated barn on the day that only reached…

Hi All! You've probably already seen pictures of this chair on our For Sale page, but we just brought it down to Anchor No. 5 in downtown Troy to be part of their Valentine's Day window display. I wanted to…

Happy Tuesday everyone! This Tuesday's Treasures is a piece that I would love to keep for myself, if I had room. Thankfully, I own a small house so I can't fit much more of anything in it. :) I just…

One of the many ways that we've continue to be blessed is by old friends who encouraged us in this adventure called FunCycled. This week's Tuesday's Treasures comes with a lot of memories for me. When I was a little…

Good morning! I had a Tuesday's Treasures all set for you this morning, but woke up and had to type up another one to share with you. Which means no time for proofing so forgive any of my typos please.…

If you're a fan of FunCycled's Facebook page, I teased you with a sneak peak of this beautiful Fuchsia dresser that we delivered this weekend. I was going to make you wait until tomorrow for Tuesday's Treasures, but decided I…

Putting together a list of the top ten posts this year brings back so many memories. Thank you to all of our customers and blog followers this year.  I can't believe it's only been a year since we've started all of this…
