Liberty Dressers – It’s all about the hardware
Today’s dresser makeover is sponsored by Liberty Hardware – and you’ll be so pleased it is because wait until you see how these pieces turned out! First, I’ll show you the dressers I picked up out of someone’s garage: Blech! Filled with spider nests, paint chipping, peeling, rotting and with a slight stench to remind […]
Gold handles – why you shouldn’t spray paint them
I’m sorry. I wrote a post a few weeks back that showcased a DIY way to get your own gold handles. I used some spray paint over the old plastic coated handles and showed how easy and inexpensive the makeover was. But look what happened: This is after a few weeks of use. My beautiful […]
