  • Repurposed Headboard turned into bench

    Repurposed Headboard turned into bench

    So I’ve always wanted to tackle the headboard repurposed into bench project. Luckily, I married a wonderful handy-man who loves to help with my projects. We’ve picked up this old but still very solid headboard and it sat in the garage for a while waiting for some inspiration. Hubby picked up some 2×4’s and started…

  • Furniture & Galvanized chicken wire?

    Furniture & Galvanized chicken wire?

    So now that the nice weather is here, I don’t quite spend much time indoors working on pieces. Although I’ve had this urge to do a piece with chicken wire after seeing it done time and time again on Pinterest. It just gives the right amount of rustic and a charm to any pieces… and…

  • Antique Honderich Furniture Co. Red Seal Cedar Chest

    Antique Honderich Furniture Co. Red Seal Cedar Chest

    Hubby and I found another one of these Authentic Cedar Chest by Honderich Furniture. How Lucky!! The chest still had the original Honderich stamp and the original $100.00 moth insurance certificate stapled on the inside of the lid. Just a bit of history behind these beaut’s. In 1911, C.R. Honderich and sons and August Eidt, founded the…

    Country Chic Occasional Tables Updo

    After 3 weeks of toiling on a nursery crib and dresser, I needed a quick fix of ASCP therapy. (The write up on the nursery project to come!) I’ve been waiting to find the perfect little pieces to try the Annie Sloan Duck Egg and these little charming tables were the perfect project for it.…

    Classic Paris Grey Dresser

    I’ve been waiting for good daytime light to snap pics of this beautiful dresser I finished a few days ago but the last few days have been snowy and overcast. I might have to invest on some good photography lighting kits in the near future. Oh boy… hubby is not going to like all these…

  • Elegant Vintage Side tables

    Elegant Vintage Side tables

    Another weekend, another project completed! Hubby and I saw these side tables last week at the auction and I just knew I had to have them. They were already beautiful to start with but they needed a fresh look. They also had little scuff marks and dings to fix. The Paris Grey colour was a perfect…

  • Side Table Makeover

    After a well needed break over the Holidays away from my paint brushes and old pieces of furniture, hubby and I took another successful trip to the auctions. I was able to snatch a few pieces for a great deal. I saw this little lonely side/end table and knew exactly what I wanted to do…

  • Photo shoot with Mama Moose Photography!!

    Photo shoot with Mama Moose Photography!!

    Sometimes the coolest things can happen out of the blue.  A couple weeks ago, a lady purchased the Rocking Chair I had just refinished. After meeting her, I learned that she intended to use the chair in a baby / maternity photoshoot.  What a sweet lady she was.  So here it is!! My first piece of furniture in a…

  • Shabby Chic Coffee Table & End Tables

    I picked up this set at yet another auction. The three piece set coffee table and end tables was originally a dark mahogany finish with a little wear on them. It was a great find as I had just bought a brand new quart of Old White ASCP (Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). This previously loved set needed…
