When I spotted a collection of items at the curb of a neighbors house I recollected how she had an antique roll top desk she had taken apart, partially stripped, and hoped to refurbish. Apparently that furniture project never was completed and the ends of that antique roll top desk were sitting at the curb...

The middle area and mirrors had been removed from the antique vanity leaving just the end pieces. I have long looked for a set of deep and rather thin nightstands and these are perfect!

How can you build a pantry on a budget? I love that my clients challenge me! It all began when Mrs G contacted me with this funky bookeshelf... With the big open space she wanted to make a kitchen pantry that also had some character,… this would be fun...

Today you can often find dry sinks gracing the floor of antique stores. These days they are often used as end tables, night stands, foyer tables, or even as you will learn today a dry bar!

A DIY Photo Studio may seem completely impossible, but Im going to show you how I used some creative thinking to make my small space perfect for a photo studio furniture would show well in.

"A month or so ago, my Dad and I spent a Friday morning at one of my favorite monthly junk markets {Old Red Lumberyard Market in McKinney, Texas} and I came home with a completely grungy, completely rusty, completely fabulous vintage mail cart! I added a couple of other items and turned this old cart into an upcycled vintage mail cart table with a cabinet door tabletop! It’s a really fun and whimsical piece for the corner seating area in my gathering room, provides additional storage, and the style fits perfectly with my vintage kitchen island. Let me show you how I made it!..."

"Let’s make a DIY bench from old chairs! Do you have a few old chairs laying around? Not sure what to do with them? Why not repurpose those chairs into a unique bench?. You can use chairs that are all the same or mix it up and build your DIY bench with different style chairs. The world is your creative oyster..."

A long time ago, there was a daybed on the side of the road. My Mother in law and I tried to get it into the car but it was a heavy beast!

After struggling for almost 20 minutes, we threw in the towel!

But we salvaged whatever we could – like the headboard and all the drawers! That is how 4 drawers came into my life and have been waiting for me to give them a purpose!

"I found this old dresser stuck in a back corner at a local antique mall. It was literally on its way to the dumpster.. At some point, it had been a great little piece. Even though it had obviously seen better days, it wasn’t time to give up hope yet!..."

"I’m not sure how to start this post. Mostly because my husband has wanted me to ditch this chair for the last ten years! At nearly 100 years old, and a garage sale rescue from my mother’s attic, I knew it was destined for greatness. And I was right!! Call it upcycled or repurposed…this old chair makes a beautiful, interesting Vintage Chair Drink Stand! A great conversation piece!..."

"A friend gave me a nightstand and I decide my Greer needed a DIY play kitchen for her room at her house. Santa had brought one here and she enjoys it! I figured one at home would be good, too. The color palette I chose to go with – coral, navy & gold, are the colors of her room. I was really hoping her mom would agree with having this addition!..."

"This dresser had three drawers on each side. My ultimate goal was to have one big drawer on each side, so in order to make that work, I needed to remove all the dividers and supports that existed for the other drawers. I used my jigsaw to cut and remove these pieces..."

"Okay, so I’ve had this one for a couple of years and finally decided to tackle it. I knew when I found this old retro TV cabinet, that I wanted it to be a “bar cabinet”.
I mean it was just perfect for that use. Although it really could be used for so many things...."

"If you’re looking for an easy way to make a chic DIY outdoor side table that also has storage, then you’re going to love this hack!..."

"The dresser used to look like this. My awesome neighbor {who is always watching for curbside treasures for me} called to let me know that she had spotted a dresser. She thought I might want to salvage the drawers. At first, I was just going to use it for the drawers but then I had a fun idea to turn it into something more..."
