Hey guys!! Welcome back!! A few weeks ago I shared my "Goodwill Cabinet Makeover". I am using this to house my laundry essential. My puppy is 6 months old and he gets into everything. I found this beauty at Goodwill for $12.99. Here are the things that you will need to complete a project like this:
Here is the inside of the cabinet. I had to put it on top of 2x4's so that I could spray the base of it without getting my grass. This cabinet weighs a ton and I had to move this thing by myself because my husband was at work. I will be using this for my laundry storage so I added a shelf to the inside. I was so happy when I saw this beauty in the goodwill. Sometimes I am amazed at what people get rid of. You can find tons of quality pieces at your local thrift store. Here is the finished product! I brought this knobs from amazon here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JP3X1RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I paid about $8 for 10 knobs and I love these knobs! I love the way this piece turned out and all for under $30!! Have you ever passed up a cabinet from Goodwill because you didnt know what to do with it?

Hey guys!!!I hosted a movies in the yard for my family a few weeks back. I wanted to share this on the blog to give you some inspiration for summer outdoor fun. My husband built the stand for the screen. He used scrap 2x4 that we had laying around. Hey guys!! A few months ago I threw my good friend a "Once Upon a Time" themed baby shower. It was so much fun and it really challenged me to think outside of the box. I searched pinterest for inspiration but sadly not a lot of people have used this theme. I used only a few pinterest hacks. Stick around and I will show you what I did.! My favorite project was this Jack and the Bean Stalk centerpiece I made.What did I use to make this? 1. Pool Noodles (3) got them from dollar tree. 2. Cardboard box. This will serve as your base. 3. Fake or real leaves (if you're feeling fancy). I used leaves from a fake plant that was gifted to me. 4. Rope ( I got about 3 yards from the dollar tree) 5. Skinny pole. (any pole) It will help support your pool noodles. Make sure you put it right through the cardboard box. P.s. I made my friend a video slideshow that she loved and it was playing in the background the entire shower. The slideshow included pictures of her and her hubby from when they first started dating -through marriage- and up to the ultrasound. I got the sonogram idea from pinterest. I used scrapbook paper to cut out the words "Royal Favors". The favors were bath salts from my mom's business "Finally Blooming" and they smell amazing. Everyone loved them. I got the castle from the Goodwill and also the pig and medieval shield in the background. This was also pinterest inspired design. I used a 2X1 and painted it black. I used a shelf bracket for the bottom to keep the pole stable. I cut arrows out of cardboard and painted them black. I lined the cardboard with ribbon to add a more polished look. Let me know if you like these designs! See ya next time!
Hey guys!!! I hope you all are doing well?! I am hoping that you all have been hitting up your local Goodwill/and other thrift stores in search of some great finds.
I want to tell you guys all about this rose bush that I found at the Goodwill (it came as a set of 2) when I was vacationing in Bonita Springs, Florida. I was with one of my good friend and both of us wanted to them. I saw it first and my friend and I have a great understanding that whoever sees it first has first dibs. We Goodwill shop together a lot. I spray painted the base black because the green was just not my style and looked dated (hated it!!!). I think the black spray paint brought this thing back to life(YAAASSS). Both of the bushes were $4.99 which was so great. Right now I have both bushes as a center piece on my kitchen table. If you saw these at Goodwill would you grab them or pass?? Let me know your thoughts. See ya later!! Hi guys!! I want to tell you all about my night stand diy. The night stand came from Zo's (Hubby) old house. He wanted to throw it out because it was really banged up. I convinced him not to. I must say it is very difficult to find a night stand that is solid wood, has character, and storage. Let's talk about how I turned this trash into treasure!As you can see the top of the nightstands have water stains from cups without cup holders (men!) Here is what you will need:Let's walk through the steps 1. Remove all hardware with screwdriver. 2. Clean the nightstand inside out. 3. Sand the nightstand. Make sure you have a smooth surface. 4. Make sure you remove all the sand dust. 5. Prime the entire dresser with very smooth coats. 6. Let the primer dry for a few hours. (I usually touch it to determine when its ready). Always read the label on the primer for dry time and additional instructions. 7. Spray paint even coats on the nightstand. 8. Let the spray paint dry for at least 3-4 hours. 9. Put on the hardware of your choice. 10. Enjoy your new nightstand. I lined the inside of the drawers with contact paper. Let me know if you liked this trash turned treasure!!!
See ya later!!!! Hi guys!!! I'm glad to have you back. If it your first time checking my blog out, take a look around! I hope you like what you see. Today I am going to talk about shopping our friends and family home for home decor, clothes, shoes, and furniture. How many times have you went to your bff's house and said OMG I love the picture or that lamp??.. I do it all the time. Friends also do it to me. What if we all just went to our loved ones homes and asked them what they are willing to swap or give away? Stick around and I will show you several things that I got from friends and family. The moral of the story is to ask your friends if they have any goodies they no longer want. The worst they can say is no. Also, don't forget to return the favor to them. I always let my friends and family go through my unwanted pile before I donate it. What is the best freebie that you were gifted?? Comment below.
See ya Later! Hi guys, So I picked up this beauty from the goodwill for $2.99!!!!! Yes! $2.99!! I had to do a double take when I saw this price. It is solid wood and very durable. I cant believe that someone would give this thing away. Let's walk through the process of repurposing this beauty: 1. The first thing I did was wipe the dresser down. 2. Remove all of the hardware with a screw driver. 3. I went on to sand the dresser with my black and decker sander. (This took quite a while). 4. After the sanding was complete I wiped the dresser down thoroughly . 5. Priming was next. Make sure that all of your strokes are as even as possible when you prime. 6. I let the primer dry for about 2-3 hours and then began to paint. (Watch a movie, clean the house, or do something else fun during this time!! ) 7. The paint color I used was Rustoleum Sun Yellow. Here is the link http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-32-oz-Ultra-Cover-Gloss-Sun-Yellow-General-Purpose-Paint-1945502/100196452. 8. I brought the hardware from Hobo's. I think I may change out the hardware soon. I want a more glam look for this piece. It probably took me about 2 hours to paint the entire dresser. Put on your favorite tunes or favorite show and get lost in a project like this! Materials you will need:I absolutely love this dresser and the way it turned out. I use it for additional storage in my basement washroom. I thought it would be SUPER cool to put a dresser in the bathroom. This dresser is a conversation piece for sure! People are always shocked and amazed that I put a dresser in the washroom. They are also shocked by the bold color I chose. This is my favorite DIY to date. I love it some much
