WINTER WHITE CABINET - adding doors to hide the tv
My last official project for 2018 was to finish this cabinet that sits in our living room.
LINING FURNITURE - wallpaper, fabric, or paint
Sometimes it can be just as fun to redo and enjoy the inside of your furniture project just as much as the outside. This is a compilation of some of my favorite interiors I have done.
SHELF OF TURQUOISE - apothecary drawers
INSPIRATION IS POWERFUL
One evening surfing Pinterest
I stumbled across a painted
cabinet that inspired me.
I sat for a few minutes
looking at this photo thinking
to myself, "I have something
very similar to this" and
"I can do this" in a quiet
whisper to myself.

HOW I USED ANNIE SLOAN OLD WHITE - a cabinet rescue
I remember that morning, we were running late because someone slept in. It was one of those Saturdays I enjoy so much, spending time with George, getting out to all the yard sales and finding other people's junk I can re-purpose into something new and wonderful.
TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT - french country cupboard
Many people go through the struggle of whether they should paint wood furniture or not. I also struggle sometimes with the
decision. I have had many pieces of beautiful wood furniture that I have re-home because they didn't fit in here.
BATHROOM STORAGE CABINET - repurposed glass door
One evening I spotted a salvaged glass door leaning against a hedge. I was inspired to start creating something around this lonely pane of glass.
SHABBY CHIC BOYS CABINET - tips for a masculine cabinet
Easter is just around the corner and as a child my Grandfather loved to make elaborate scavenger hunts with hidden notes and mysterious riddles for my sister and I. He had us running back and forth hunting over at least an acre of land looking for the next clue cause we knew there was one huge chocolate Easter egg at the end and it was filled with more goodies. For me it was more like winning a trophy than an actual
Easter hunt and I wanted to display my prize for everyone to see.

THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE RIGHT JOB
I knew what I wanted to create but I didn't know quite how I was going to accomplish it.
NO WAX USED ON CHALK PAINT - pure white kitchen cabinet
I'm happy to finally share with you after 2 years our beautiful white un-waxed storage cabinet. It sits in the corner of our kitchen and was originally painted with Annie Sloan Pure White Chalk Paint.
THE FARMHOUSE MERCANTILE CABINET - butcher paper graphic transfer
There are a lot of different transfer
methods available on-line but this
article I wrote is all about how I was able to get the right sized words
transferred onto raw wood. Keep
reading to find out what font I used.
THE FARMHOUSE MERCANTILE CABINET - white washed finish
This cabinet was a donated piece
of furniture, but when dropped off
it was in a few parts. It had lived a
good long life and the owner wanted
it to keep going, so I started rebuilding
her.
HOW TO REUSE OLD WINDOWS - lovely french shelf
I love to create, whether I'm
building something with wood
or setting the stage for a great
photo shoot. This time around
I custom designed a French
shelf from two vintage school
house windows.
PRIMITIVE CLOSET - fixing up an armoire
I hurt my shoulder a while
back but as it starts to heal
I start to get anxious wanting
to move around and create or
fix something.

HOW TO CHANGE THE SHAPE OF A CABINET
I think it was fall when I first saw this mini cupboard, it was attached to an email asking if I could give it a makeover. I was intrigued and let her know something could definitely be done to update and beautify the piece.

WONDERLAND CABINET - shabby chic tall shelving

REMAKING A PRIMITIVE KITCHEN CUPBOARD
This huge project was done for a friend of GG's. It was something they found on a trip and they loved it enough to bring it all the way home. Now it was my turn to update it.
THE BEFORE - window dresser
I recently replaced 3 large ugly drawers in the middle of an old dresser
with a vintage window turned door and cupboard space behind.
Here are the much anticipated BEFORE shots.
The first time my daughter saw this dresser she remarked on the ugliness of the middle drawers.
Not to worry they will get used in the future but out they go for now.
This is my sliding compound mitre saw, a tool I use just about every day,
and definitely an asset for this project.
The interior of the cupboard was lined with the wood from the 4 drawers.
A = drawer back
B = drawer bottom
C = drawer sides
There is a great deal of framing going on behind that beautiful wood interior.
Again most of it was the original framing for the drawers just re purposed.
It's like it was meant to be this way always!
You can find all the beauty shots here,
and if you would like to see more BEFORE and AFTER shots
of more projects check them out here.
