the French twins
I told you there were lots of furniture makeovers on the way! Here’s another one… Remember this pair of French chairs? I found them on Craig’s List for a good price and they were in really nice condition. A reader asked why I don’t just leave them alone. It’s true, I could probably sell them […]
Boxwood Dresser
For those who have been asking for furniture makeovers, well, you’re getting them now! And I have about 12 more pieces in the basement that still need to be hauled up for their chance at a picture. This piece is actually a sort-of-custom dresser that’s already spoken for. I received an e-mail a few weeks […]
the "young at heart" Lucketts giveaway
The Lucketts Spring Market is just one week away! I teeter between bring-it-on and give-me-just-another-week! I’ve already started stalking the weather report and my pile of finished furniture and packed boxes is rapidly growing. This week is about finishing the pieces (mostly upholstery) that I’ve been procrastinating on and doing some easy last-minute things […]
FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY |
Hey, girls! (Mostly girls. I know there are a few guys out there…) I spent the day driving from Gettysburg, PA to Chester, VA, shopping all along the way with my mom. We had a great time and found some cool stuff. I’ll have to share some of the pricing craziness I saw, like a […]

custom-mixed blue empire dresser
I shared a dresser a few days ago and labeled it as my new favorite piece in a while. Well, I’ve changed my mind. This one has knocked the other one off of that throne. I painted it in a color similar to French Enamel, but it’s a custom mix MMSMP of Flow Blue and […]
Tricycle Highboy Dresser Makeover
I don’t think there is any doubt that I am a blue & white lover through and through. That being said, I have a soft spot for red. Red is such a bold color that it’s hard to not give it a little attention. And, when there is a perfect red, like MMSMP Tricycle, how […]
the ironstone mold jackpot & don't high five at yard sales
I went out shopping on Friday again…one of my last big shopping trips before Lucketts and it was a good one! I found four French chairs, a dress form, a really cool wood wagon, tons of ironstone and other fun things. Here’s a look… …I’ve always had a soft spot for salt and butter crocks, […]
