Vintage Trunk Turned Treasure
This Vintage Trunk Turned Treasure is the ultimate in repurposing. As do so many of my projects, it began with a trip to the thrift store…and this time, it ends with a one-of-a-kind coffee table. Best of all, other thrift store finds were used to complete the project! Legs were taken off a used night […]
Living Room Makeover with Wood Accent Wall
This video tutorial shows you step-by-step how a living room is transformed for very little money.

One minute you’re looking at beautiful pictures online… the next you’re driving through dark alleyways in search of weathered wood, and you’re buying mason jars by the […]
Pantry Makeover
This Pantry Makeover is proof the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. After spending some time on Pinterest the other day, my 16-year old daughter was so inspired, she asked me if she could spruce up our kitchen pantry, and if I happened to have any white paint. My answer to both those questions […]
