Last month, I was at an estate sale desperate to find several pieces of furniture at once. There are times I go out shopping and find exactly what I need for the business and other times it is “slim pickins’” as they say. Thankfully, at this particular estate sale I was able to find 2 pieces one of furniture one of which was this buffet. Here’s a look at how we gave the buffet a makeover in sea gull gray…
Over the weekend I was sitting on one of the new bar stools, waiting on breakfast, giggling with my bestie S about how I swore the kitchen makeover would take ….ahem, a grand total of 5 days to complete. “Don’t you remember I said this was going to be THE hardest room you’ve ever made over?” Yes, in fact, I had heard those words but I was up for the challenge any way. Would I take on a project like this again? In a heartbeat! Here’s a look at how the details of our kitchen makeover came together…
I hadn’t planned to share this project with you guys today. I was actually going to save it for next week but the transformation is just too exciting to wait. I was putting the finishing touches on the breakfast nook and kitchen areas when there was just something about the space that wasn’t working. I tried three other pieces of furniture before giving this piece I’ve carried around for almost 40 years a total makeover. Here’s a look at an inexpensive way to update a childhood hutch…
After 7 years of wanting to paint the kitchen cabinets it’s so hard to believe they’re finished. While I’ve painted many pieces of furniture over the years for my booth space and private clients, nothing could have prepared me for the time and energy it took to complete this project. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re considering painting your kitchen cabinets too…
As I shared yesterday, we’re making great progress on the kitchen makeover. We’ve been looking for a way to customize the island and after a bit of research, we chose to install picture frame moulding. It was an inexpensive way to add an architectural element to the kitchen while still respecting our laidback lifestyle. Here’s a look at how we gave the kitchen island a custom look on a budget….
As I shared last week, we are currently deep in kitchen makeover mode. One of the projects we made a priority last week was the kitchen island and I’m so excited about the way it’s coming along and I’ve learned a lot along the way. Here’s what you need to know about painting a kitchen island if you’ve never painted any cabinets in the kitchen before….
I spent a good portion of last Friday, trying to pull together pieces for my booth space. Mostly random items and bits of inventory I’ve picked up over several shopping trips. Styling a booth is kind of like styling your home. It takes multiple pieces that all fit within the same vision in order to pull “the look” off. Thankfully, everything I found at the estate sale fit together with things I’ve been holding onto like this mirror. Here’s a look at the details of our Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Vintage Mirror Frame Makeover…
If you follow on Instagram you probably already know we got an early start on Saturday and headed to an estate sale. I was desperately low on furniture for the booth when I found a media cabinet and a few other things. The cabinet was in good condition, solid and stained a strange orange. Thankfully, we were able to give this media cabinet a makeover with GF Snow White. Here’s a look at how all of the details came together…
Summer is typically not a big furniture selling month for vendors save for the people that are redoing beach houses or heading off to college. I was definitely surprised when I was away at Loblolly Manor and got the news a piece had sold. Luckily, I was able to find this multifunctional table on wheels while out on the treasure trail last week. Here’s a look at we gave the table a beach cottage inspired makeover…
You guys may remember I originally bought this wicker settee for my booth. At the time, I left it unpainted so the customer could customize the color based on the needs of their own porches. I brought it back home in order to make room for bench made from dining room chairs and I came SO close to painting all of my porch furniture black. Here’s a look at painting wicker patio furniture…
I’ve used this vintage trunk on the front porch for a while now but it wasn’t until I brought home a wicker settee that I decided to finally give this trunk an update with exterior paint. Here are a few things to consider when painting pieces for the front porch and how all of the details came together…
We’ve been tackling all sorts of projects at Loblolly Manor this past week. It’s been everything from rearranging and organizing furniture to giving one of the bedrooms a bit of a makeover. Here’s a look at how we gave the room a fresh look starting with a DIY painted nightstand…
