How To Transform a Vintage Dresser Into a Shabby Chic French Country Sideboard

July 20, 2019

It’s difficult for me to visit a thrift store, estate sale, or garage sale without finding a piece of long-forgotten furniture to take home with me to transform. I even find myself searching through Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist hoping to find that one unique piece.

1920s Jacobean Buffet Makeover: BEFORE AND AFTER

July 9, 2019

I love a good estate sale or thrift store find. How about you? Take for instance this long-forgotten piece we found at an estate sale in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.

May 9, 2019

A few weeks ago Dixie Belle Paint Company saw my painted furniture pieces on social media and reached out to me because they were ‘so impressed’ with my work. They wanted to know if I would be interested in trying their paint and products. If so, they would send everything I needed to complete a project–FREE OF CHARGE–right down to the brushes. I just needed to let them know what products. If I chose to paint a piece they would feature it on their social media pages ~ Facebook (160,000 followers) or Instagram (30,000 followers). Well–of course I would!!
