RELOVED FURNITURE
One of my clients brought me these gorgeous dining chairs that she wanted refinished. I had already refinished the matching table top, which came out so beautiful! But darn it! I forgot to take good before and after photos!! The chairs and table had a shabby white finish. She decided to keep that finish on the table base and go with a dark grey on the chairs ...continue reading
After I posted this Faux Copper Patina project on FaceBook, I got several emails requesting a tutorial. Since I wasn't actually planning on writing a tutorial on repainting garden statues, I might not have the most helpful photos, but I'd love to share the project with you! Well, I started with this resin garden statue of a couple of sweet, little ...continue reading
The story of a little 'Tracey's Fancy' Inspired Armoire So while I was out of town at the SNAP! Convention, one of my bestest clients ever, dropped off this oak jewelry armoire. She seen it and had to have it, but had no idea how she wanted it refinished. She didn't like all that oak... She didn't like all that brass... We spoke of French designs, ...continue reading
The story of a Little Birdie Dresser, starts out kinda sad... It was neglected, falling apart, and much too small to be of beneficial use to any one. Or so I thought! After I cleaned it up, and completed all the necessary repairs, I really started to see a blank canvas forming. I envisioned a perfect little accent for a Baby Nursery! The little petite ...continue reading

So, first off, ...continue reading
Recently I came across these plain little end tables. Not much to look at... they were actually really dated looking. I don't know why, but they really reminded me of parquet flooring (?) But they were made of very, very heavy wood, and I was in deep love with the chunky legs! So, I started with my SOP, Standard Operating Procedure: Clean thoroughly ...continue reading
Several months ago, on one of my thrifting adventures, I scored these Vintage Drexel Nightstands!! They were divine!! I loved the size, scale and the clean lines of the nightstands. They were practically begging me to take them home and reLove them! So reLove them, I did! After sanding and priming, I decided to go with a two-toned color scheme. I ...continue reading

I thought I would never finish, but here it is, my Hutch Makeover Reveal!! When I started this makeover, the weather was too cold, and too rainy, and then too windy, ...continue reading
For my sons 5th birthday, I decided to try my hand at a DIY Kids Workbench. I've seen them all over Pinterest and it seemed like an easy project, IF you can find a good base to start from. I have seen nightstands and wooden storage shelving be especially effective! Like this bedside table repurposed into a toy tool workbench by Giggleberry ...continue reading
reLoved Before & After French Inspired Desk, a furniture make-over story. Over the weekend, I was able to finish up this little French cutie. It had really great lines, a small attached hutch for extra storage and was in solid, sturdy condition... But take a look at how ugly it was!! This one got the full treatment: sanded, primed, and painted. (I ...continue reading
