Links to my projects on Instagram reels






Listen. I know it has been a while since I have posted here!


I have been going back and forth between "do I just let this part go"
or "do I try to incorporate the transition of REELS into my blog"
I have decided to ATTEMPT to Incorporate.
I don't know how well this will work.
Or if it will be a fruitless effort; but I figured I have been doing this for this long.
I might as well try.
:)
So I will periodically add any of my DIY reels into the blog where you can click on the pic with the attached link and see all the transformations.
I will eventually try to add product information to each of the pictures here but we will see if anyone has any interest in the old style anymore first.
As always, Thank you to all my BEAUTIES for always hanging around and encouraging me.
As usual I am a late bloomer with all this stuff; and that is OK.

vintage outdated desk and chair makeover using general finishes milk paint in custom mixed color
Welcome back my Beauties.
Boy has it been a while!
I have still been working on furniture like crazy,
just haven't done a good job of writing up blog posts about them.
Yesterday I was going through some google photos when I saw this desk makeover in my stash of photos and realized I better write something up about it since I had completely forgotten I had even done it! :)
It shouldn't be a surprise though. I had the desk and chair in my garage for 3 YEARS!
It was out of sight, out of mind, kinda like this makeover. :)
anywhoo..........on with the makeover.
beat up old top of vintage desk makeover before
I think one of the reasons I waited so long was because even though most of the desk was in great shape, It was a very outdated orange stain and had some DEEP grooves in the top that I knew would take some work to get out.

It was at that point I decided to pull out my handy dandy
It made short work of those deep gouges.
After I was done sanding I hand sanded it with some higher grit sandpaper to make it shiny smooth and wiped it down to prep it for some stain.

Since I had an idea of the color for the base I knew I wanted to go with a darker top.
I picked up my Varathane wood stain in dark walnut and got to work.
After it was dry I just used some satin wipe on poly I had in my garage to seal it.

Would you look at how great it turned out!
The chair got painted the same color and I just quickly recovered the seat with some fabric I had in my stash!

I am happy to say the reason I had forgotten to write about the desk was that as soon as I brought it into my booth it went back out the door to get a new lease on life in someone elses home.

I doubt this desk and chair will be forgotten about now that it was made beautiful again!

Pretty in Pink Vintage Dresser Makeover

Vintage Dresser makeover using General Finishes Ballet Pink Milk Paint BEFORE

Welcome back my Beauties! 
How the heck have you been?
We have been navigating these crazy times and just trying to 
adjust our sails on a daily basis.
Thankfully a few days ago the weather cooled a bit and I was able to knock out some projects.
I haven't spent a lot of time this summer writing up posts because honestly, just surviving seems to be enough of an accomplishment on its own.
But I still love a good makeover and hopefully you do too!
So let's get going.
I picked up this vintage little cutie at the thrift shop for a steal.
I loved that it was in really great shape and only needed a little bit of loving.
It was plain but I knew a little paint would perk it right up.


sanding the vintage dresser so paint will adhere properly
I got to work on lightly sanding the whole thing down.
Then I wiped it down with warm water.
I wanted to make sure the paint properly adhered.

Once I had that done I picked my paint.
Now if you know me I am NOT a big PINK person, but this color is so subtle I just love it for giving a piece some quiet color.
You may remember the cute little GOSSIP BENCH I did in that color.  You can see that HERE.
https://www.artisbeauty.net/2020/01/vintage-gossip-bench-given-sweet-and.html
So I got to work painting the dresser.
While it was drying I grabbed some old hardware and gave it a clean.

Once it was clean I gave it a couple coats of Rustoleaum Copper metallic spray paint.

Once that was finished and the paint had dried on the dresser I had decided that it needed just a little subtle POP of something to liven up the flat and plain front.
I grabbed my Deco art Winter Wreath stencil and some White General Finishes Milk paint and painted on this simple wreath.

I love that it added something simple but made the front a bit less plain.

I am also happy to say that it sold pretty quickly.
This plain ole piece is now livin its best life in a new home.
