Right now we are working on a dresser for Sweetie's room. This is the first step of her room redesign. I really want to repaint her room and put a tree on one wall. Here's a couple sites that have…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…
