Just a wife & mom trying to turn some bleak things into chic things.
Transforming a dull bookshelf is easier than it seems- so long as you don’t do what I did.
I start by choosing the perfect paint finish and then changing it repeatedly until I like what I see.
Adding patterned wallpaper and metallic accents really brought this old guy back to life.
Ever seen a makeover this dramatic?
Transformed from dull faux wood to a glam soft green and gold finish, complete with eucalyptus leaves on the top drawer.

I’ve been busy giving these thrifted cast iron flourishes a makeover, and I’m so excited to share them with you! 🖤 They’re now available in the shop under ‘Cast Iron Wall Hanging Flourishes’. Hand painted with a layered olde world finish, these beauties bring a touch of French elegance to any space. Ready to add some vintage charm to your walls? 🌿
Ever wondered how to weigh a dresser without breaking your back?
Here’s how I do it: I use a sturdy bathroom scale and a bit of balancing act. First, I place the scale down between the legs (or just outside if it’s a solid edged piece) add a board long enough to put both legs on and weigh one end, then the other, and add them up! I don’t subtract the weight of the wood just because I’d rather be a little over when submitting the number.
I usually use two scales - I found them on Amazon for super cheap.
Comment SCALE if you’d like the link to them. They are digital and easy to use. I was initially worried about them being glass, but I haven’t had any issues at all.

Thinking about buying the Antique Van Bergh Quadruple Silver Plated Teapot - here are 5 reasons to reconsider…
1. Because who needs a teapot etched with history when you can microwave your tea in a mug?
2. Those ornate designs? Totally unnecessary if you prefer staring at plain and boring cupboards.
3. Breakfast table looks too empty? Just pile more papers on it—no one uses gorgeous centerpieces anymore.
4. Ever tried using a perfectly good silver teapot as a vase? Nah, stick to those plastic ones from the dollar store.
5. Impressing your guests with something stamped from 1898? Why bother when disposable cups exist!
Jokes aside, countless collectors and tea enthusiasts have cherished our Antique Van Bergh Quadruple Silver Plated Teapot, and I’d be more than happy for you to be my next happy customer.
Just comment “TEAPOT” and I will send you the link.
Lucas just graduated kindergarten! 🎓 We are incredibly proud of our little man. It’s been so much fun watching him grow and learn so much and he’s really coming into his roll as BIG brother. Can’t wait to see what this summer’s DIY’s have in store for me and the boys🌟

I’m officially back on the YouTubes today at 4pst! Meet the newest member of our little family and flip some smalls with me.
I’ve just been soaking up ALLLLL the baby snuggles I can since this stage is so fleeting. And honestly I haven’t wanted to share him, I still don’t 😂. But it’s time for me to get back to work. So here’s our sweet Nicholas. Just assume he will be helping me just like Lucas did when he was teeny tiny.
Thanks for being patient while I took some time off. And a big thank you to those of you who reached out to make sure we were doing ok- we’ve been GREAT 🥰
Out at today! Come say hi- and I’m right next to the best smelling booth ever- it’s all lavender goodness.
Happy Easter from the Martinis! I hope you had a marvelous day with loved ones celebrating our Savior ✝️💐
Played with some fun Spring colors this week! But not toooo Spring, I don’t want Fall to get jealous.
You all have been cracking me up over this guy. I didn’t see it until Cathy pointed it out, but now I can’t unsee an owl with a mustache 🤣 In case you were wondering, we’ve named him Frank.
Fun little comin’ at ya today.
These turned out so cool! And it was fun playing around with techniques I haven’t used in a while. Swipe to see them before.
Video is up on the tubes and these are available in the shop.
