DIY Candle Holders

DIY candle holders, rustic candle holders, DIY candle sticks, repurposed table legs

Make a gorgeous vignette of candle holders for next-to-nothing by repurposing old furniture legs.  Remember the coffee table I was working on the other day?  Well, project two of my repurposing/upcycling adventure was to take the legs from the table and make them into these beautiful, rustic candle holders. Did I mention that these were […]

My FREE Family Command Centre

You don’t have to spend mucho-buckos to create a family command centre, in fact, our family command centre came in at a whopping $0!  Here’s how you can do it too! I was futzing in the garage the other day and debating whether to refinish this free coffee table that a friend had dropped off. […]

How many of you had a classic kids wagon when you were small?  Maybe a Radio Flyer metal deck one or a wood deck wagon with removable gates on the sides.  If you’re a Mom now, then you are likely to have, or have had, a more current version like a Little Tykes plastic wagon […]

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 […]

Before & After – Lego Table

This Lego table / Lego storage project took a long time. Normally, I would have whipped out a nightstand in a day or two, but this one was well over a week – mostly because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with it. This is the crappy nightstand that I started with: Awful.  […]

Lingerie chest makeover

Lingerie dresser, painted lingerie dresser, small dresser, panty dresser, bra dresser

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 […]
