I have been staining up a storm lately! Between the super cool Ikea trestle sewing table… …and the rustic shelving both in the guest bedroom, I just about feel like I really know what I’m doing! Well, the really good news is, most of us learn by trial and error and I’m certainly no exception. […]
Thanks to my new bigger and beefier sofas (post HERE) of late, I”ve been finding a need to slightly adjust the furniture around them. The sofas resemble a bigger and higher bed… remember when those first came into play? Everything around them instantly turned into what resembled Barbie doll furniture in size comparison. I ended […]
There’s a new member to the stencil family, and I had a boring TV tray that was calling its name! I’m so glad I hung tough on the tray until now. Because I am digging the new look which was all too easy to create. Isn’t it sweet? Well, hello there TV tray I’ve had […]
When I was designing the stencil Buffalo Check, I had these wild visions dance in my head… of a painted table runner. Overall patterns are of course cool! But just a small run of this stencil could also be enough on the right project… Like the top of a dresser… or centre of a table. Or… […]

I think it’s pretty safe to say, I am a true blue repurpose-aholic. I just took a quick look around my home, attempting to spot something brand new.

Scroll to bottom of post for the video! I currently have this agenda for my home. You already know I’m in the midst of cleaning and painting. But more than that, I really want to get rid of all the stuff I don’t like. The goal is to be able to swing the camera around, click wherever […]
Are you into antique cutting boards? I sure am! But we don’t seem to have lots of woodsy stuff in our thrift stores of late, so… I made my own oversized reclaimed wood cutting board Apple Farm tray out of a few fence planks, and a stencil. But that’s not all… Mindi from My Love 2 Create banded […]
Remember the Market tray story I told you about? I was to create a red tray, but I took the ‘red’ a little too far and created THIS instead. Cute… but not what was ordered. I debated painting over it, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I honestly thought the red paint overtop wouldn’t […]
