Boring brown to bright white nightstands
These were our boring brown nightstands before I built our PB knock-off ones. They are about 15 years old (we bought a bedroom set when we got married) and they are decent quality, but they have a few scuffs here and there. (They are particularly dusty because they’ve sat in my She-Shop for months) I […]
The Ginormous Bird Feeder
Recently, a friend brought me an enormous bird feeder and asked if I could repair it. We’re talking a feeder that would cost hundreds of dollars to buy – if you could even find one for sale. To say I was a bit nervous about ruining her Mother’s treasured piece was an understatement. You can […]
One Room Challenge – the REVEAL! (Home Gym / Theatre Room)
It’s week 6 of the One Room Challenge, which means it’s REVEAL WEEK! < div class=”post-content”> My parent’s basement didn’t need structural work, tiling, carpeting or electrical work – but I think you’ll agree that it certainly needed a makeover: Purging, organizing, paint and fabric took this room from unusable to a spectacular home gym.

Before & After – Lockers
I read an article where a person was looking for pantry ideas; her home didn’t have one, and she wanted something she could put in her kitchen, but without a hefty built-in price tag. Her solution ended up being lockers. She retrofitted them with shelves and painted them a bright colour and they were AMAZING! […]
Lingerie chest makeover
This is a tiny little dresser – about 18″ wide and only about 12″ deep. I guess it would be called a lingerie dresser or lingerie chest? A “disaster dresser” to begin with. Look at the destroyed top! Missing knobs, chipped drawers – and what you can’t see inside, is that the drawer bottoms are […]
Painting bathroom cabinets
I was provided with Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter and Bullseye 1-2-3 primer for this “Painting bathroom cabinets” post. My bathroom has bugged me for a little while now. Our cabinets are 13 years old and are showing the wear and tear of the years everywhere. Hubby doesn’t seem to notice, but they are glaring to me. […]
