Media Stand Makeover how to give a big box store media stand a modern farmhouse look! Have you ever had one of those projects that seems to have no end? That no matter how much time and effort you put into it, it feels like it will never….ever…be complete? Our living room is just such…
Our kitchen currently has VERY little counter space, so an island is a definite MUST HAVE! I purchased this builder grade island when I first moved into our home-and it has been a lifesaver ever since! I do all of my cooking and baking here-and I often use it to serve food buffet style for…
I have a story to share with you. No..it’s not a novel or anything quite so long and dramatic. It’s really more of a fairy tale. So grab a glass of sweet tea, (or your favorite beverage) and let’s sit for a spell, while I tell you the tale about about my farmhouse table. If…

In fact-it…
Since I began my office makeover several weeks ago, I’ve often compared the project to when I was pregnant with my daughter, Mel. I know this sounds like a very STRANGE analogy, but stick with me, I guarantee it will make sense soon enough. You see, like my pregnancy-I started this project feeling happy and…
Dining Room Table Makeover  It has been almost a month since I shared the dining room chair makeover, and announced that the next project in this room would be the table. At that time, I had two, TOTALLY different design options to choose from, (both involved a lot of sanding and stain), and I was…
Dining Room Chairs get a Facelift! I mentioned in a previous post that I had one more project left to do in our dining room, before it’s BIG reveal! The truth is- that project actually consists of TWO parts: Unfortunately, with all the changes I’ve made in the dining room to BRIGHTEN it up-this…
