Old Drawer Gets a New Life

April 27, 2018

I love putting a new twist on pieces and transforming them into new purposes.  I took this drawer and added some turned legs to create a unique storage piece.  On the outside, I stuck with a favorite of mine General Finishes Queenstown and then went a little lighter on the inside with General Finishes Seagull grey… Read More Old Drawer Gets a New Life

Grey End Table

April 27, 2018

Sometimes great things are found on the side of the road, like this adorable little end table.  When we got it home, we discovered that the inside base of the cabinet was missing.  So after sanding it, we worked on creating a new base, back, and middle piece to make it whole again.  A little… Read More Grey End Table

Grey Waxed & Dark Stained Dresser

April 27, 2018

This was an experiment gone right for me!  So excited how well this turned out.  I first stained it in General Finishes Pewter Dye Stain, then a Walnut stain and then a General Finishes Driftwood stain.  That is what gives it such a cool look to it.  It just gives me all of the feels… Read More Grey Waxed & Dark Stained Dresser

Distressed Farmhouse Coffee Table

April 27, 2018

This one was a fun project for me!  I found these really cool beams from a house built in the mid 1800’s and knew they would be perfect legs for this project.  I rubbed them in Tung oil to bring out the natural wood grain.  For the top, I used a reclaimed trap door from… Read More Distressed Farmhouse Coffee Table

Antique Sewing Table Base Becomes a Desk

April 27, 2018

We found this metal base at a rummage sale and knew that we could give it new life.  A desk seemed like the perfect thing to make it into.  We added a hickory wood top to it and it started really coming together.  We then stained it in a custom stain that we mixed ourselves… Read More Antique Sewing Table Base Becomes a Desk
