Last summer, (yes, that long ago), I bought these two end tables with the intent to re-do them, give them some life and beauty. Unfortunately, life got in the way. We bought a house and moved. Since, they have been buried in the garage. I finally decided to dig them out, re-do them and get [...]
I just realized I had not posted the before and afters for a couple of tables I re-did, recycled. I really liked the way they turned out and one of them sold within a week of being placed in the booth — so, someone else really liked it too! The first one was a Pottery [...]
In one of my favorite thrift stores, I found a pub height table and 4 chairs. The table has butterfly leaves and was made of solid blonde maple — heavier than all get-out!

We regularly run the yard sale, auction and thrift store circuits searching for a diamond in the rough. While out on a treasure hunt with [...]
We are busy slaving away, redoing furniture (love that it is eco friendly to boot), spiffing up furniture and generally running around trying to get our inventory ready for the booth expansion. We plan to show off some of our furniture repurposing and redos when they are finished. But, for now, take a gander at [...]
