What is better than a gorgeous dresser makeover? A dresser makeover in a sunny yellow tone! My client salvaged this dresser and will be using it in her foyer. She wanted a pop of color to break up an otherwise neutral palette. I love the color she selected–it is a gorgeous, buttery yellow. This dresser… Continue reading Sunny Little Dresser Makeover
One of my most recent projects was repurposing a buffet that had been passed down from my client's grandmother. Structurally, the buffet was in excellent condition, but showed some wear and tear on the finish. She had seen one of my previous projects and wanted to convert this buffet into a wine bar. After discussing… Continue reading Reinventing An Inherited Buffet
I bought this little table at a thrift store a few years ago. It is in great condition, it just didn’t have a lot going for it aesthetically.

She chose a silvery-gray color to blend with her kitchen counters. After completing the… Continue reading Rustic Inheritance Turns Functional for the Kitchen
Ok, she’s not looking as elegant here, but you can tell this little side table was just lovely in her original glory! She just needed to be stripped down to her bare bones and given a fresh start. Structurally, the table is in excellent condition. It just had wear and tear from use, as well… Continue reading Elegant Side Table Makeover
This little cutie was saved from a dumpster by the keen eye of one of my clients. It is the bottom half of a Hoosier cabinet (the top was no longer with it), but my client's vision was to use it in her laundry room.
