Lauren’s Kitchen

Who gets tired of seeing kitchen makeovers? Not me! Love this one by Lauren, especially that backsplash. Too bad she didn’t get to enjoy it for long, since she sold her house soon after. Oh well, I’m sure it helped it sell. Check out more HERE. Thanks Lauren!

Christy’s Mirror

A year ago you couldn’t have PAID me to bring home one of these gold babies. However, I have since been converted to the Church of White Spray Paint, hallelujah! Thanks to the fabulous Christy over at Beach Brights. I think it looks great, can I get an AMEN?

Sister’s Bedroom

Tricia did this sophisticated room redo for her 20 year-old sister. She needed to make a transition from her old high school bedroom to a relaxing place to call home whenever she visits from college. What a nice big sis! I would have just cleaned out my sister’s closet, if you know what I mean. Ha ha! Totally kidding sis, love you…

Pirate Inspired Cabinet

Arg Matey! Behold what used ta be a grimey bathroom cabinet thingy, bought for a pittance at one measly dollar! Now it’s a right fine place to stash all yer treasure maps and pirate booty!

 Also, cell phones, printers, mail and whatnot. Lisa made this cabinet to put in her hubby’s office. My husband’s head would have fallen off if I had dragged that thing home for him, but now after a lot of hard work, it looks great! Thanks Lisa!

New Old Table

Has anyone ever looked at you like you’re crazy when you told them of your plans to take an old, distressed piece of furniture, sand, prime and paint it like crazy just to make it look old and distressed?

They don’t know what we know, reader. I don’t even have to explain it; you get it.

It’s this:
