Hi All! How was the first week of school for most of you in upstate NY??? It was our first year for both our Little Man who started kindergarten and for Sweetie going into Pre-K. If you want to see…

Hi Friends! If you're one of our Facebook fans, you'll see that I've been a little MIA this week. I've been fighting a nasty cold. It's still going strong over 10 days later. I'm going to give in and medicate soon,…

Hi All! I'm enjoying some family time this week before school starts next week. That means I'm keeping today's Tuesday's Treasures on the kind of short and sweet side. :) I loved the lines and quality workmanship with this piece.…

One more quick makeover today... my pal Lara went to a yard sale and saw these dressers for sale. She sent them to me in a text to see if I'd like her to pick them up for me. I…

So many people have been asking me how John's hand is doing. Thanks so much for checking! Since more of you read this blog than actually chat with me in a week, I thought you all might like an update.…

Hello Friends!! The 2nd hutch on this week's Tuesday's Treasures is painted Vintage Teal by Valspar and the interior is painted  Lightning Bug by Benjamin Moore. Kelly reached out to me looking for a hutch and I didn't have any on our…

Have you ever gotten in a rut with creativity and felt like you want to do something new? Well since John's been home, I've felt a little less than creative mostly because he's been doing all the work. Even though…

What's a gold dipped piece of furniture?? Well, it's just what is sounds like. A piece of furniture that looks dipped in gold. Dipped furniture is so "in" right now. It doesn't just have to be gold, but I want…

Good morning friends! Last week was insane here... insane on so many levels. The furniture projects were some of my favorites in a while. I was able to work with fun colors including orange, yellow, vintage teal, exotic lime, and…

Another Tuesday's Treasures today? What!! We've had so many fun pieces and I am having a hard time narowing everything down to just one piece a week. This cute little cabinet was given to us when we went to buy…

Good morning!! I've been waiting and waiting to do a piece with chicken wire and this hutch was asking for it! Do you see it?? Can you picture it?? No? Well, let me explain it a bit. If you find…

Hi! How has your week been? So many people have asked me how everything has been going with John quitting his job to join  me at FunCycled. Since I don't get as much time as I'd like to to chat…

It's Saturday!! Why am I posting on a Saturday?? Well, I was up early and with having John home I've had time to get more pieces done in a week.  That being said, I have so much to share with…

Has it really been a week since I wrote my last blog post?? I feel like I was just here telling you all about John starting to work with me, I blinked and now I'm back at the computer again.…

It's been quite the week here at the FunCycled home. John's first week working with me was AMAZING. What most people take as normal, I was able to enjoy for the first time. John and I went to bed together…

Hi friends! Can you believe it's the 4th of July this week?? I always feel like the 4th of July is the half way point of the summer. I know it's not really, for most it's the official start of…

Happy Tuesday everyone! This week's makeover is super fun! Very few houses before 1930 had built in kitchen cabinets and free standing cabinets were for the up and up. Many different manufactures made a hoosier style of cabinet but the…

Hi All! I hope you had a wonderful week. I'm sure for most of you, it was filled with graduation parties, father's day celebrations, and yard work. Tis the season around here! Congrats to my little niece Emma for graduating…

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I'm beyond excited to share this week's Tuesday's Treasures with you. If you haven't seen it yet, I also did a post on our recent NYC trip for John and my 10th anniversary. This armoire was in…

Hi everyone! If you aren't from upstate New York, you might not know that we had quite the storms last week. Wowzer!  Wednesday night I was at church in a meeting about our new Mom's Group starting in the fall.…

Happy Memorial Day from the daughter of a Marine. “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.” - Thucydides. We are so thankful…

Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend. If you all are Pinteresters (is that a word?)... well, if any of you look at furniture on Pinterest you've probably seen this dresser by Art is Beauty. If you…

I know, I know, two posts in one day?? lol I just finished up this makeover and put it on our Furniture For Sale page. If you're interested in buying it please use our Contact Us form or email me…

Simple. Classic. Elegant. I think that sums up this week's makeovers. Audrey welcomed me into her home to show me the furniture in her dining room that could use a face lift. Here they are before. Sorry I don't have better…

If you are sentimental like I am, you'll understand my struggle with this next story. See this vanity? Well, it was my grandmother's and I remember as a child looking at it and loving everything about it. There is something about it…
