My client reached out to me to update a beautiful desk that was her mom's. This desk is a perfect example of taking an important piece of furniture and making it fit your lifestyle. The desk was in great shape except for a few natural scratches and dings. She originally asked me to paint the… Continue reading A Desk that Would Make Mom Proud
I am so excited to share this project with you! I was given this table and chair set by a client who no longer wanted them. I have had it tucked away in my garage for a few years now. 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
My client contacted me to refinish this small cabinet that holds his television. He wanted it refinished in a golden oak stain to match the rest of his furniture.

With all the extra time and demands now placed on our homes, it only makes sense to want to make that space feel… Continue reading What Adds Comfort to Your Home?
One of my favorite things about working with furniture is to be able to take a piece that no longer serves a purpose for the family and reinvent it into something sentimental, beautiful, and useful. My client held on to the crib she used for her children (it does not get more sentimental than that!!)… Continue reading Crib to Storage Bench
I have seen posts over the years of people turning beds into benches but had never had the opportunity to convert one myself. That is, until now!! My client had her childhood twin size bed which held sentimental value but she didn't have a use for it as a bed. We discussed options and decided… Continue reading Bed to Bench Makeover
I was contacted recently by a client to paint this dresser to give it a fresh, clean new look. It was in great condition except for a "chunk" broken off of the corner of one of the drawers. There was a little damage to the top, but nothing that a bit of sanding wouldn't smooth… Continue reading White Paint Creates a Crisp Finish for a No-Cost Treasure
Did you ever have a quality piece of furniture that was nice, but just not something you needed? Consider transforming it into something you will love--and that will fit your lifestyle! This desk is high-quality and extremely well-constructed. I wanted to take the opportunity to transform it into something completely different. Considering the size, quality,… Continue reading Repurposing Furniture: Turning A Desk into a Kitchen Island
