Garden Bench Makeover

I’ve joined a group of friends for a challenge to makeover a piece of furniture each month with a theme.  April’s theme is “bright”.  It was a quick decision for me to decide to give the garden bench that resides on our screened porch an update with a bright coat of paint. This bench purchased…

DIY Adirondack Chair Makeover with HomeRight (And a Giveaway!)

Ten years ago Mr. SP made Adirondack chairs for our deck.  They were never stained and have taken a beating from the elements.  Mr. SP suggested that we give them away and make new ones, but I knew with a little TLC, these chairs could serve us well for a few more years. The chairs’…

Stenciled Side Table

During the summer when I’m not working, I have time to pop into Goodwill once or twice a week.  One shopping venture yielded a small side table that was begging for a makeover. This table isn’t anything fancy, but it is sturdy and has a nice design.   Its makeover started with sanding to remove…

Trash to Treasure Dresser Reveal!

In late winter my friend and I found a dresser put out for the trash on one of our early morning runs.  Mr. SP and I repaired it, painted it and now it has a new home in our living room. The top drawer front had to be replaced because the wood was badly warped. …

Vintage TV Stand Makeover

A month ago I rescued a tea cart destined for the dump.  It was in good shape, it just needed a face lift.  I thought and thought about what colors I might want to use for paint, but ended up keeping the same color scheme. Before: I started by thoroughly cleaning the piece.  Next I…

Music Cabinet Rehab

I recently acquired a music cabinet that once belonged to my great-great aunt.  I would guess that this cabinet is about 100 years old.  My grandmother had it in her basement for years, intending to fix it up to use, but never did.  When granny moved to a retirement home, my aunt took it, thinking…
