I’ll start this post by apologizing. I am not an interior designer, nor am I a professional stager or even photographer – which means that more often than not, my photos don’t do the project justice. I’m working on it, and practice makes perfect, but believe me when I say these […]
I picked up this old cast iron grate on MaxSold (like an online garage sale) months and months ago. It might even be a remnant from last summer if I’m being honest, but I was too nervous to tackle it because I knew removing the rust was going to be a BEAST of a job.
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.

I came across this cute little shower caddy at the dollar store the other day and I couldn’t help but think about what a great (and super-inexpensive) organizing solution this little baby is.
