Vintage End Table
Remember these Vintage End Tables? I bet you do! If you didn’t grow up with one, chances are you know someone who did. Which is exactly why, when a friend of mine saw this one at a thrift store, she was overcome with nostalgia and just had to buy it. All it needed was a […]
Too Cool For School Lockers
These Too Cool For School Lockers may be super cute now, but when I first got my hands on them, they were a hot mess. See how I whipped them back into shape and gave them a fun, multi-colored paint job in this Murals by Marcy video tutorial. In case you’re wondering, I used Valspar […]
Front Door Makeover
One thing always seems to lead to another with me, and that was certainly the case with this Front Door Makeover. Believe it or not, it started when I decided to dust the ceiling fan in my living room. I pulled out my 8-foot ladder to reach it, and while I was up there wiping the […]
Bedroom Makeover (Part 5): The Big Reveal
My daughter’s Bedroom Makeover is finished, and now it’s time for The Big Reveal. I certainly made you wait long enough for it! But there was just so much I wanted to show you, so I had to break it up into five parts. Now that you’ve seen most of it, let’s talk about the walls.
Bedroom Makeover (Part 4): Hand Painted Dresser
So far in this Bedroom Makeover, we’ve turned a twin captain’s bed into a stylish day bed, and we’ve made our own upholstered headboard. Now comes my favorite project in this makeover: A Hand Painted Dresser. It’s painted to combine my daughter’s love of all things vintage…and more importantly to capture her passion for music. […]
Bedroom Makeover (Part 3): Up-cycled Bed
Work with what you have…. for this Bedroom Makeover, that was pretty much my mantra. Rather than buy a new daybed, which is what my teenage daughter wanted, I worked with her existing captain’s bed, hoping to turn it into a one-of-a-kind, ultra stylish, not recycled, but Up-cycled Bed.
Bedroom Makeover (Part 2): Upholstered Headboard
This Bedroom Makeover for my 15-year old daughter started off with no real direction…just a bunch of mis-matched ideas that kept changing from one moment to the next. So before painting or buying new bedding, we decided to focus on the bed itself. It is, after all, the focal point of every bedroom. My daughter wanted a […]
Kitchen Makeover (Part 4)
I had entirely too much fun with this Kitchen Makeover! It’s impossible not to when you love who you’re working with. These homeowners not only have a young, hip sense of style…they are some of the sweetest people I know; devoted teachers (one of them was even voted Teacher of the Year last school year!), […]
