I was recently reviewing some photos of my work over the past several years, and this Hoosier Cabinet jumped out as one of the most fun--and most gratifying! My client was given this cabinet and it was in pretty rough condition. Although the flour bin and sifter were in great shape, it was missing the roll-down… Continue reading A Stroll Down Memory Lane
I was looking through pictures of my work and came across this beauty! I wanted to highlight this piece because it is the perfect example of taking something old but amazing and making it work for you and your lifestyle. My client was given this cabinet and it was in pretty rough condition. Although the… Continue reading Walking Down Memory Lane with the Hoosier Cabinet
I was talking on the phone to a potential client the other day about a desk he has that is a sentimental family piece, but is simply not functional. The place where your knees are supposed to go is so small that only a child could fit. I have not seen the desk or even… Continue reading So Many Ways to Repurpose a Desk!
This Hoosier cabinet makeover was so much fun! My client was given this cabinet and it was in pretty rough condition. Although the flour bin and sifter were in great shape, it was missing the roll-down door on the top and the decorative trim on the bottom of the base was no longer attached.

You may look at some… Continue reading Work With What You Have

A lot of what I do involves repurposing pieces in their new life. When I saw this desk, I immediately knew I wanted to create a coffee or wine bar. Drink bars are becoming more and more popular, and I love finding compact pieces that will fit the bill. I purchased this old secretary desk (yes,… Continue reading Cartoons Reimagined
This cabinet came from the basement of a friend's house and was donated to me to see if I could do something with it. From the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew what it wanted to become. It was destined to be a beautiful coffee bar, with an open space for a coffee… Continue reading From the Moment I Saw It…
I have a friend who ordered this cute little storage unit, but unfortunately, it arrived with the door broken. She called the company and they told her to just dispose of it and they would send her a new one. Sooooo.... I loved the size and functionality of this storage unit. But without the… Continue reading Damage Repair and a Makeover
When it comes to upcycling, thinking outside the box is at the heart of what I do. That doesn't always just apply to looking at a singular piece of furniture. Sometimes it’s a much larger picture. For instance, unless you built your home and selected each and every element, there’s bound to be something you… Continue reading Outside the Box
