This is my biggest re-furb project to date and definitely the most involved. Usually with my furniture projects there is no pressure. If it works out awesome, if not, I just get rid of it. I’ve only worked on pieces that were almost out the door anyways. Here are some before pictures.

(A few notes about this set. It was sold by Ashley Furniture about 8-10 years ago, it has some solid wood and some composite. The top showed the most wear, as you can see below. The composite and laminate did not cause any problems with this project.)

Backyard Makeover

Posted in Glam up My Trash, Home DIY, Uncategorized by

So as every pool owner knows, they don’t last forever, and they are basically a giant ass money pit. Well, the time came this summer to resurface our pool. If you have not yet lived through this take my word for it, one of the biggest hassles ever. Not to mention expensive. Ok, enough of my first world woes. Point being, our pool rehab sucked our entire outdoor budget right down the tubes.

Ugly Office Makeover

Posted in Glam up My Trash, Home DIY, Uncategorized by

Hey guys,

This has got to be my favorite summer project. Mostly because it means I don’t have to write these blogs from the chaos of the kitchen anymore. So this really weird room was an add on to our house from the previous owner. He wanted a “workshop” so he butchered our 2 ½ car garage and created this space. I am only grateful for it now that I have been kicked out of two home offices spaces in the last two years. That’s what happens when you have kids. They take all your space, and your sanity. Anyways, we used this little box room for tools, crafts, storage, junk, and finally I got tossed in here as well.

Glam up my Trash- Part One

Posted in Glam up My Trash, Home DIY, Life Style, Uncategorized by

So “Glam up my Trash” was inspired a couple months ago when my husband and were going over our budget. We realized that we were $15-$20 ourselves to death. So we decided to really buckle down for a few weeks. Buy only the necessities and see what we “actually” spent. Awesome idea right? Yea, but how am I supposed to continuously update my home decor with amazing things that I totally NEED?
