Worn Out and Grey, Restored for Today
Have you ever had pieces of furniture you want to paint or update and never get around to it? It just isn't a priority? Well, I have had these two side tables for years.

I am so sorry... I don't mean to tease, but I guess I did with my last post. I showed you a picture of the chair that has a story to tell...

The never ending battle of getting my son's room complete is still underway. I have a plethora of DIY projects in that room coming your way. If you aren't updating a child's room, there … [Read more...]
Do you want to try a super fun and easy project? I was watching the DIY Channel a few months back and there was a segment on creating a "man cave". This man cave included a bar with a rustic wooden top. It turned out to be pretty cool looking. I was intrigued by the fact that they used a blow torch and immediately I wanted to try this. … [Read more...]
