ANOTHER WAY TO ADD HEIGHT TO FURNITURE - wood and ivory bedsides
The bedroom is a comforting place we spent each night and having a set of bedside cabinets that are tall enough for the modern bed can be challenging. Here is another way to lift up older nightstand without buying expensive pretty legs.
YELLOW FRENCH COUNTRY BED FRAME - painting an antique

DIY FRENCH HEADBOARD - combining items
Every now and then I get an itch, a nagging desire to change something in the house. I start to focus on it, maybe something isn't working right for us or the look of something is bothering me. GG has even given it a name ...
"AWEFULIZING" The wheels start to turn in my head, and
over the years he has learned to recognize it. As soon as he
sees it, he tells me to stop awfulizing. The truth is if I didn't
awfulize over it I would not be able to create. It's part of my
process, it's the main component to how I do what it is I do.
Now that brings me to our headboard. I always wanted a
tufted headboard, one stop into Sleep Country way back
when and I bought one. We both like it but it also lacked my
personal touch or something unique to us, which has
always bothered me.

PAINTING A SHABBY CHIC TALL DRESSER - white cottage chest of drawers
I run across many dressers from this era but this pieces was a nice one. It was made with real solid wood, top to bottom. MDF is usually hidden somewhere in most pieces of furniture built after 1968.

ALTERNATIVE TO DARK STAINED TOP - color layering paint with ASCP
I wanted to create a nice rich
dark stained top on this project
but I would need to strip it first.
I can only strip furniture outdoors,
and it was the wrong time of year
