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 […]

Pre-Tween Girls Bedroom Makeover
I have been putting this makeover off for as long as I possibly could. I mean I ADORE this mural: In case you don’t recognize it, it’s from the story “Guess How Much I Love You” – and we had it painted when Chloe was a baby. She was our ‘gentle bunny – and the […]
