My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Hey everyone, did you know it’s National Painting Week? Yep, Spring is finally here which means people are starting to tackle home improvements and update their homes.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I’m in the process of adding some board and batten in my Great Room. Yep, we’re giving this space a little makeover with some new millwork, textiles and furniture… including this piece. I found this puppy at Goodwill a month or so ago for [...]

My aunt recently gave me this little side table. No, it’s not cherry. It’s painted orange with large, chippy brushstrokes all over it. Pretty bad, right?

I found this chest of drawers at Goodwill for $20 and thought I would show it some love with a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware. Since I wanted to protect the wood and take away any odors from the previous owners, I decided to give it a fresh coat of Dutch Boy’s [...]
Yesterday I unveiled to you my Painted Kitchen Cabinets. Yep, all I have to say is what a difference a coat of paint can make! Today I thought I’d give you the step-by-step instructions for my process. It truly is an easy task to paint your cabinets, just a bit time consuming. Now I’m sure [...]
