I'm always excited to work on furniture with unique details, and this was no exception. It did, however, come with some unique challenges as well. The client asked for this beautiful cabinet to be stripped and refinished to what was likely its original stain color. When the client dropped off the piece, she said she… Continue reading Unique Details–and Unique Challenges
I absolutely love these Martha Washington sewing/knitting tables. I think they are so quirky and fun as entry tables. This one, however, came to me in pretty rough shape. The drawers were in pieces (puzzles anyone?) and the bottoms of the storage areas were in bad shape. Obviously, repairs were the place to start. I… Continue reading Sewing Table Repurposed into an Entry Table
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

So much of my work now is custom for clients that I rarely have a… Continue reading A Mission-Style Dining Table Makeover
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!
I received a lot of positive feedback on my previous crib-to-bench and bed-to-bench repurposing projects. As a result, I had another client reach out and ask me to do the same for her crib. The part I love most about repurposing is that each project--while similar in concept--is completely different in execution and final results.… Continue reading A New Spin on Repurposing a Crib into a Bench
As we all try to navigate this challenge new reality, we are spending a lot more time at home. We are working, learning, and even shopping from home now more than ever.
