DIY

  I came across this cute little picture I had purchased at Goodwill at least a year ago. I remembered the main reasons I bought it were because the monkey looks so sad and the frame was adorable. It was an easy enough of a project that it wouldn’t take all day and still give me some time away from …

Hi All, During the Christmas season I will often get orders for Christmas gifts. Sometimes they have furniture of their own they would like painted and sometimes I will go through my own unfinished inventory and pick out pieces that I think might work for them. I had this adorable desk and chair in my inventory and the customer requested …

  Happy Fall everyone!! I ran across this little cutie while out and about shopping with my mom. My mom was not seeing the possibility of cute but I did. I mean how many small stands have drop down sides on them! It was a little beat up with some seriously deep scratches across it; BUT I had total faith …

Hi All! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer! I’m looking forward to the fall weather myself but I do hate to see garage sale season winding down. So the other day my son’s friend was cleaning out his garage and wanted to get rid of this, (in his words), big ugly piece of furniture that was in his way. …

  Everyone that knows me realizes almost every Sunday morning at 11:00 am I can be found at Goodwill. This is my favorite day to go.  So, that being said, a couple of Sunday’s ago I came across this glider rocking chair with matching glider ottoman.  Lucky for me it was ticketed with the 50% off color of the day! …

  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Being a fall/winter person, I can’t say I’m a big fan of this super hot weather. But of course I would not let that get in my way of shopping! While out on a shopping spree I came across this cool vintage radio cabinet/stand. I love the shape of this stand and …

  Lucky for me, I do seem to come across a lot of hutch tops. This one was sitting there, looking lonely and waiting to be reinvented. I was ready for the challenge. Although it really didn’t take a whole lot, it was in pretty good shape to begin with. The first thing I did was take the top molding …

If the thrift store is known for anything, it’s known for graphic tees. Wearing a shirt with an interesting image or your favorite phrase is a great way to express yourself.  Graphic tees are a fun addition to your wardrobe that can easily be dressed up or down. That’s why we featured them as May’s prompt for the 12 Months of Thrifting Challenge.   …

  While out shopping my mom and I came across this cute corner cabinet. It was a nice solid wood but was missing the back and really needed updated. So of course my first thought was how cute would this be as a corner cabinet bar! I didn’t realize how heavy it was until they were loading it and had …

  Happy spring! My son sent me pictures of this (could be) adorable dresser set he saw at Goodwill. I had just finished redesigning his living room for him and he wanted to get me something as a thank you. Totally unnecessary, but he insisted. What can I say, the kid knows the way to my heart – used furniture. …
