The last time I was in the US, I was thrift shopping and found 2 bedside tables for only $12 a piece, (even though I didn’t live anywhere near the thrift store, and couldn’t take them back to Korea with me,) I just couldn’t fathom leaving them there when they spoke to me, and…
So I have a stool that I think EVERY person in the world needs. I certainly didn’t discover this stool, (as it’s from IKEA) But trust me, if you don’t have one, you NEED one. It will be the best $15 you have ever spent. I have had this stool in it’s original unpainted form…
Here’s the tutorial I did for the TV cabinet I made for So You Think You’re Crafty, I am bringing a few of these home over the next little bit while I finish off my final project! I am so excited to be here to share my wall mounted TV cabinet tutorial! Since the theme…
For my On the Wall project, I decided to make a fireplace! (My sister was pretty funny while I was making it, she called her husband and said “Believe it, *X is making a fireplace” and his response was “Of course she is!”) *name withheld to protect my anonymity! 🙂 Nice to know my family gets…
I have finally decided to post my audition piece from S.Y.T.Y.C. since the poll closed forever ago. I had several people tell me they could tell which piece was mine, so we’ll see if you guessed right! (although I doubt anyone will tell me they liked something else better and voted for that instead, I’ll just never…
I was so excited today to find Isaac’s Union Jack dresser featured on Miss Mustard Seed’s Furniture Feature Friday!!! Marian has a lovely blog, a brand new book out, her own milk paint line, she blogs for HGTV, and she has impeccable taste; so to have my piece selected to be featured is so exciting! Thanks…
Before moving, we bought Isaac a new smaller bed, his last bed was the heaviest thing ever (which is not great for our weight allowance) and was bigger in size, even though it was still a twin bed. We found him a great antique bed, but ran into needing to buy him a box-spring mattress,…
I knew I wanted a Union Jack for Isaac’s dresser, so I set about Googling different images of union jack furniture, until this dresser from Daena at Bad Rabbit Vintage (the picture is a link to the image source if you click on it) popped up! There was just something about this piece that…
As part of our move we are getting a new couch, the current couch in our house is a leather one that sucks; seriously it is the worst, it’s only 3 years old and has a sag in the middle, the leather is peeling and worn, and the frame in one arm is cracking. Admittedly,…
Last Summer I posted about the turquoise dresser I refinished for Emmie, (now sold on craigslist because it would have taken up too much horizontal space in Emmie’s room in S. Korea) and then a few days ago I posted about another sold dresser from her room, the purple vanity, (which didn’t give enough storage on its…
