DIY Simple Console Table
So hubby and I are working on an upcoming project for a dear friend and I wanted to test out some stain colours before using it on the piece itself. What better way but to build something useful! I’ve been wanting a console table for a space in my foyer but could never find something…

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
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…

Authentic Red Seal by Henderich Cedar Chest

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…

Beautiful Antique Dresser & Swing Mirror
I picked up this piece from a nice gentleman who lived nearby. Having recently moved to Orangeville, Ontario, we haven’t really had the chance to explore the area as much as we would have liked. He lived about 5 minutes away. We arrived at his house and were taken aback by the breath taking view…

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…
