Custom Home

Kitchen before we moved in. I LOVE my brick backsplash! Other favs are the antique pendants, the large island, and dark/light contrasts.

$5.00 Chair Makeover

This $5.00 chair I bought from Craigslist was one of the most economical purchases ever. It was also one of the most dramatic makeovers I've ever done.

After cleaning it, I primed the chair with Valspar tintable white interior latex primer.
While it was drying, I recovered the chair seat with fabric from Craft Warehouse. (It was about 3.00 for the fabric and I didn't even use half of it).
Then I painted the chair with Sherwin Williams Muslin exterior paint. I just used the left over paint from our house that was being constructed at the time. I've never used exterior paint on indoor furniture but this turned out great!
Then I put the seat back on and was VERY pleased with the finished product. Total cost was about $8.00.

Coyote Run Home

This was our first house! We lived there for 5 years; it's fun to look back. I should have posted this sooner. I'm having a hard time remembering all the paint colors!

It took FOREVER to get the right color!

Dresser

Bought this dresser at Goodwill for $40.00. I cleaned it then primed it with Valspar latex tintable white multi-purpose primer. Then I painted it Meadow Trail by Sherwin Williams.





Only "after pic" I have for now. Still playing around with the hardware.

Hutch and Dresser

I bought this hutch and dresser off Craigslist for $40.00.




I painted the handles black and re-painted the dresser white using Frost by Behr. I didn't prime it.

Here is the finished product:

Craigslist Desk

I bought this off Craigslist for $15.00. Pretty good deal if you ask me! I cleaned it with clorox wipes, sanded a few rough spots, then mod podged the top with some Hobby Lobby scrapbook paper. I also repainted the whole thing using Frost by Behr.

Baby Shower

Love baby showers!
