Sad desk gets a makeover

Here she is before, tired and sad 

Here she is after sanding, stain, paint, distressing, and new handles on the drawers! 

Raising the laundry!

So for the last 4 years or so my husband has been wanting pedistals for our washer and dryer. They are around $250 each, so it was silly to spend that much when I have the skill to make them right? However I have done so many other projects that those were always on the back burner. The other day I decided to first search for thinks on FB marketplace that were the rough size of what I needed for pediatals. I finally found a lady about 20 mins away that had a large solid coffee table. The dimensions were near perfect and it isn’t just your simple 4 leg coffee table so if you didn’t know that’s what it was, you might not even realize that’s what I have as our pediatals! 

I was able to complete this pediatal project for only $65! I added a piece of wood on the front middle section so I had a sturdy base for the plywood piece, then I added as a shelf so I could put cute baskets. I painted it white and then our awesome neighbor came over to help. Here’s the before and after! 

Beautiful Dining Set

This table was given a cute makeover with dark grey top, sealer to protect, and the base and chairs are a crisp white.

Hope y’all like it!

Beautiful White bed set

Took this set and brought it back to life with fresh white paint and light grey for the drawers! 

This is before, they needed quite a bit of work even before paint! 

I had to sand this one a lot, because the last paint job had globs and thick brush strokes of paint...



After the brown, scuffed queen bed got multiple coats of white paint and sealer from the trusty paint gun!

Fun mesh garland

I made this super fun and cute Christmas garland for my amazing aunt, who always makes me beautiful things with her many talents. It was my turn to make a custom creation for her! I used a nice 9’ garland and added red and white 21” wide mesh in large billowy sections to really beef it up. I then added fun candy cane striped ribbon and to top of off attached ornaments and some funky green present stakes. I totally love how it turned out, pictures don’t do it justice!
