Oak Dresser Makeover
I have another dresser makeover to share! This one is a yellow oak, and part of a two-piece set, so you’ll be seeing the finished combo once I have them both delivered (and ahem- staged). This dresser is about 24 years old; I know, not ancient or antique, but a quality wood piece that the […]
Coffee Table with Storage
When the girls were younger (pre-iPad younger) we had toys everywhere. There wasn’t a surface that didn’t have something of theirs on it, and the house was in a constant state of ‘post-tornado’. My Dad was looking to get us a Christmas gift one year and I begged him to buy us a coffee table […]
Pine Table Makeover
Are you sick of makeovers? Of course not! Everyone wants to see trash turned into treasure right? It inspires us as to what is possible – even on a small budget. I wouldn’t say this pine table/desk was trash exactly: but it had a few nicks and dents here and there that needed a little […]
Oak Cabinet Makeover
How was your weekend? We had AMAZING weather here all weekend – which is strange because last week we saw frost in the mornings. This global warming thing is playing havoc with our seasons (but this weekend it was to our advantage). I spent almost every minute of the last three days in my workshop […]
A Bedside Table for Madison

Office Chair Makeover
I’m going to miss Summer. Despite the crazy heat and humidity there hasn’t been a single day when I haven’t been outside puttering over something or another. Building, refinishing, sorta-gardening, watering, swimming – it’s been fantastic! You, on the other hand, will probably be glad to see me back indoors in late Fall so you […]
Shelf Makeover
Just a quick pop-in today to show you a smaller refinishing project I managed to squeeze in last week. This shelf was another curb-find and it was in ROUGH shape: No big gouges, but it looks as though it was tucked away in some deep, dark basement for years and then I had it stuffed […]
