Does anyone else have a lot of vases? If you're like me, you may have a collection of many vases of different shapes and sizes that have found their way into your storage over the years. The other day, I thought I could update them to fit my decor and give a more modern feel [...]

I love turning something old into something new. So I bought this lamp at Goodwill for $3 and transformed it for under $10. It was very retro, but I had a vision for it. When I go thrifting, I try to find pieces that have potential. So when I saw the shape of this lamp, [...]

One of my favorite things to do is to update the hardware on furniture. It’s such an easy and inexpensive thing to do that really gives your furniture a facelift. All you need is new drawer hardware and a screwdriver. My aunt kindly gifted us this dresser when we bought our house. I love it [...]

1. Caulking A year ago, I had no idea what caulk was. Now I use it all the time! Caulk is a material used to seal joints or seams against leakage in various structures and piping. Since our house is older, it has shifted over time, resulting in gaps between the baseboards and the walls. [...]

I had some leftover wood from another project and decided to repurpose it as a tray. So all you need for this project is a piece of wood and handles (I've listed an option below). Next, you can stain or spray paint the wood. Then you add the handles with a drill. I also chose [...]

Our half bathroom was something I wanted to redo. So I had this layout in my head of how I wanted it to look. I decided to add some shiplap and paint the walls a bolder color. I kept the original vanity and stripped the black paint off to bring back its initial golden oak [...]

When we first moved into our house, our hallway closet had a small organizing system. I knew we weren’t maximizing our space since our closet is deep. Fortunately, there were already shelf holders on each end of the closet wall, so I came up with the idea of buying 6 foot long boards to cut [...]

I found this IKEA nightstand on Facebook Marketplace for free. I knew with some paint and new hardware, I could make this nightstand alive again! So I listed the steps below on how I transformed this piece. First, I scrubbed it down and cleaned it.I removed the original knobs and then filled the holes with [...]
