Besides relaxing, a use of our lake house family room is a home office. Every home office needs a desk and I found just what I was looking for, a large vintage office desk, on Facebook Marketplace. The desk was in good condition other than needing to be refinished and some minor repairs. This project…
A few weeks ago my good friend texted asking if I would like to have her wicker porch furniture. I have trouble passing up “free” and I love a good makeover, so of course I accepted her offer of this furniture. My friend thought that I would use this furniture at the lake, but instead…
A little TLC and paint are all that some pieces of furniture need to go from drab to the star of a home. There’s nothing like finding a piece of furniture on the curb or at a thrift shop and then transforming it into something pretty and useful for your home. All Things Creative…
Good friends are moving into a new house and asked if I would give their daughter’s desk a makeover for her new room. This desk is an old school desk but I don’t know its history. It’s size makes me think that it originally was used in a junior or high school. Haley likes…

How many of you have a piece of leather furniture that has seen better days? That was the case for a leather chair and ottoman that we purchased nearly 20 years ago. This King Hickory set has had daily use in our family room and while still quite comfortable, it looked worn and shabby. Buying…
I love killing two birds with one stone and a favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings is to combine a run with shopping at yard sales. I don’t run with money, if I see something I want, I ask the homeowner if they will save the item or items for me and I’ve never…
My mom’s friend picked up a sewing cabinet from the curb knowing that I would enjoy making it over. This sewing cabinet is no longer a sewing cabinet, it’s now an outdoor bar. Sewing Cabinet to Outdoor Bar Sewing cabinets are easy to find in thrift shops or even for free. People aren’t sewing much…
I have the best husband ever. Would your husband go thrifting with you on a beach vacation and then be willing to make room for furniture in an already crowded vehicle? Sometimes I wonder how my man puts up with me. 🙂 We found this nightstand at an OBX thrift shop and boy-oh-boy did it…
It’s hump day! I hope that everyone is having a great week. Being on summer break has given me time to tackle projects that have been on my “to-do” list, one being giving a mid-century end table a makeover. I purchased this piece over Memorial Day weekend from a lady who was selling things from…
It’s Themed Furniture Makeover Day, the day a group of blogging friends and I share furniture that we’ve made over according to a theme. This month our theme is coastal. I recently found a storage cabinet at a yard sale and thought that it would be a great candidate for a coastal makeover. This…
