We all have that piece of furniture that no longer quite fits in with the new decor. This Pier One piece is about 20 years old and is Asian inspired. So with a little plywood, paint sticks, paint and hardware, this little beauty got a facelift. Supplies Sherwin Williams Primer Sherwin Williams Naval Paint MinWax...
Ever find yourself needing extra table space? Take those plain-Jane TV trays and give them some color, fun and function! This DIY was so easy that I made a few pairs of trays and gave them as gifts. SUPPLIES TV Trays (I found mine on Facebook Marketplace, estate sales, Craigslist – average price was $5/tray.)...

This beautiful find, was sitting in the basement of an estate sale home, under a bunch of pots and pans. The previous owner used this drafting table 50-60 years ago. The top...
I love bringing old, tired pieces back to life again. My friend, Kathy, asked me to refurbish a chest that had been sitting in a barn for years. It needed lots of cleaning and love to bring it back to life again. But, look at how interesting the piece is! Those curves!!! Materials Ryobi Sander...
