Furniture Makeovers, Crafts & Home Decor
By now you can probably tell that we love adding details to furniture pieces. Fun knobs, pretty paper lined drawers, and of course painted graphics. But what if you don’t have an overhead projector or the inclination to hand paint a graphic? Enter: the stencil. That’s exactly what we used to create the script detail on this table.
One of the biggest things I’ve struggled with since starting this blog just over a year ago is my photography skills (or lack of). The internet is a visual place, and good photographs are an essential part of a good blog. A couple months ago I came across what are, in my opinion, the best online photography classes ever.

When we found this dresser in a thrift shop it was a mess of peeling veneer and splattered paint. The body was in fantastic shape though, and the drawers were in great condition. So we took her home and added her to our pile of misfit furniture to await her makeover.
It’s #MonthlyDIYChallenge day! If you’re new around here and haven’t seen one of our Monthly DIY Challenges, here’s the scoop.. each month we get together with a few of our closet blogging friends and pick a random item or topic that we each have to use to create a DIY project. This month our theme is “trash to treasure” and we had to either find something someone else had thrown out, or use an item that would typically be thrown out in our own home. Fortunately for us (and maybe embarrassingly so), we’ve become rather skilled at the art of garbage picking. We recently found this really cool old door on the curb and decided to give it a makeover to be used as decor in my living room.
