It’s time for another Themed Furniture Makeover Day and this month’s theme is chairs. During an after Christmas shopping trip, my mom and I found a solid and in great condition rocking chair at Goodwill for just $14.95. After sanding and a paint job, this rocker is ready for pleasant evenings spent rocking on my…
Many thanks to Velvet Finishes for providing the paint for this project. Have you ever seen a crazy plant stand like this one? I certainly hadn’t until my mom bought this one at her church’s annual sale. Mama didn’t need it and passed it on to me for a makeover. This plant stand had…
Today is November’s Themed Furniture Makeover Day and this month’s theme is red. Red is one of my favorite colors and I was excited to makeover a table that I found in a pile of trash on my way to school one day. I was already running late the day I spotted this table but…
It’s that time again, themed furniture makeover day! It seems like just yesterday that I was sharing last month’s project, a two toned makeover for a Lane cedar chest. This month the theme is words or letters. Like any southern girl, I can’t resist a monogram and decided to give a $5 Goodwill table an…
I’ve teamed up with 22 bloggers to help bring awareness to a topic that is near and dear to my heart, animal rescue. I’ve always considered myself an animal lover but didn’t know true animal love until we adopted our dog Sherman from the Campbell County Humane Society. Sherman was just a few months…
It’s Themed Furniture Makeover Day! This month the them is two tone. I had to think a bit before I came up with an idea for this project. After a tiny bit of persuasion, Mr. SP agreed to let me give the Lane cedar chest that he purchased in the early 1990’s a two tone…

When I moved into my first college apartment in 1989, my grandmother gave me a bedside table to use. I used the table through college and then it was used in various places including its last home, a beach rental cottage. Over the years the bedside table suffered dings, scratches, and water damage from glasses…
A partly new/partly used dresser has joined our household. This dresser got a makeover and is now in use in a guest room at our lake house. Are you wondering how it can be partly new and partly used? In 1990 my brother rented his first college apartment and needed a dresser for his room. …
It’s time for another themed furniture makeover. This month our group’s challenge was to make over a piece of furniture with a travel theme.

For the past few months I’ve joined a group of blogging friends who challenge each other to a monthly furniture makeover with a theme. Since April showers bring May flowers, this month’s theme is flowers. I love the challenge of making a piece of castoff furniture into something beautiful and functional. My mom gave me…
