Big changes in the dining room

April 18, 2022 By Tanya 2 Comments

This refresh in our dining room has been a long time coming, I am SO excited! It seems like a living room or kitchen gets more attention (is it just me?) and the dining room just does not seem to be something we think about updating very often. As our style and ideas for our…

August 13, 2017 By Tanya 19 Comments

  You wouldn’t believe it, but this desk was a break-away top sewing table in her former life.  A giant hole in the center of the desk top with two sketchy pieces of wood sitting inside. We drove out to check it out as it was for sale on Offer Up, and I thought we…

How to update a 1970’s dresser

July 21, 2017 By Tanya 6 Comments

  Sometimes a piece of furniture comes your way and it takes a while to decide what to do with it. Should I re-stain it, maybe a darker cooler color like a walnut? Should I white-wash it and put new, fun knobs on it? But this dresser had it’s destiny before it became mine.

How to paint furniture with a sprayer

July 1, 2014 By Tanya 15 Comments

I have a little confession to make. While I love to paint furniture and am always looking for new ideas and creative ways to paint, I have been a little hesitant to try a paint sprayer. I know. It’s probably silly, but the regular way has worked pretty well (minus a few brushstrokes) and I…
