I gave my sons dresser a facelift ❤️🏈!!!

The top piece actually goes to a desk but he likes the extra drawers so now they match a little better.

As always, thanks for looking!!! ❤️

Message me for a quote OR I also have some pieces (a barn full 😂) I could flip for you…so let me know what you’re looking for!

👋Hello! How’s everyone been doing!!??

⁉️Many have asked if I’m still flipping 🪑furniture…so I thought I’d keep y’all posted on my plans!

👍I am still flipping, in fact, I have a before and after pic coming soon! 👏

I definitely slowed way down this summer ☀️…I don’t know what I was thinking that I’d have more time when the kids were home 😂 but for me it meant mowing, pool maintenance, cooking all the time (because we don’t eat out/health is important here) and spending time with my kiddos!

I do have many items I’d like to flip and my goal is eventually get a booth space to sell my flipped items out of plus still continue to flip any personal furniture you might have!

If you have items you’d like redone send me a message here! I’ll get you quoted & on the schedule 🗓️!!

🙏 Thank you all for your ❤️ and support here always!! I’ve missed y’all 🫶 & I hope this post finds you doing well 😊🥰

•CHALKBOARD•

I’m always getting compliments on our barnwood chalkboard that I made a few years ago. We use this board for holidays, shopping lists, spelling words during the school year and whatever else!!!

If you’d like one made, I’d be happy to help! The $ cost will vary on the size 😃

Finally getting around to posting this for y’all! Cole’s Minecraft Lego side table!!! He loves it and he helped me paint the “stone” on the drawers. He also helped me design it all!

Cole’s Lego table that got pushed back is finally getting done this wk!!! He’s so excited and wants to help me turn it into a MINECRAFT LEGO table!

Stay Tuned!!

This client reached out to me after seeing the last rocking chair I had done. Her friends father had made this chair but with his illness could no longer repair it. So it had been sitting for a long time unable to be used.

The bottom spindle had been completely snapped. So first, I got that repaired and then I painted it gray with a distressed dry brush technique.

I’ll share the inspiration pic from the client below. Let me know how I did! And if you’d like to be next!

As always, thanks for looking! ❤️

👏 100+ year old handmade rocking chair has been restored!

Some good friends of ours, had this heirloom from her grandparents in Kentucky. It had sat on her grandparents front porch for years in all of the elements.

Alisa saved it and brought it home. She had apparently been looking for someone to restore it so her husband wouldn’t throw it out lol. Little did she know, her husband recently brought it to me.

I was honestly not sure how much I could do with it at first glance but I took a stab at it anyways 😂 I got the yellow paint off, reglued it, replaced the screws, repainted it black, distressed it, sealed it and then replaced the fiber rushing seat. I’m quite proud of it to say the least!

👉 Check out in the comments 👇👇👇 the reaction to her big reveal & also what this meant to her ❤️.

How adorable is this!?

I’m excited about a couple new projects coming soon. I have a buffet table and a vanity I’ll be restoring ❤️!! And I’d really like to bleach my piano!!

So…I took the day to literally take all my decor down…put it on the floor and started over! And I spray painted my tin basket thingy black (I love it)!

You might think I already did this piece but it’s not the same!

It’s similar…the other shutter cabinet/dresser was the daughter’s. And so the mom wanted hers painted white too 😂 of course!!

This is going in her guest room but it would also be really cute in a large bathroom.

Sometimes you have a nice piece but you just want change!! It’s soo much cheaper than buying NEW! Have you seen them prices???

She was beat down…BUT with a little love and care she can shine like the rest!!

Brand new furniture is outrageous right now…get with me to create an affordable space!!
