Dresser Makeover – Naughty Knotty Pine
Who wants to look at out-dated knotty pine? Naughty knotty pine! Time to clean this bad boy up and get him out of the corner. This was the third piece of furniture Leslie sent to me in an effort to update her bedroom to coastal cool. This was the dresser pre-makeover: Sold wood, great lines, […]
Nightstand Makeover – Hale Navy
Leslie wanted to update her bedroom decor to a new cool, coastal theme – but these nightstands were stopping her in her tracks. Nothing says ‘cool’ and ‘coastal’ like knotty pine right? Not so much. That’s where I come in – time to take these bad boys from warm wood to dark and dramatic. Leslie […]

My Mom asked me if I could do anything with these ducks; While trashing them seemed like the best option, I decided to ‘duck’ […]
Office Chairs – Before & After
It’s been a bit since my last before & after post hasn’t it? I’ve been caught up with building plans and playing in the workshop that I haven’t refinished anything (that I’ve shown on the blog) of late. Time to rectify that; Last week, while the stain and varnish was drying on the gallery wall, […]
