50 Teal Turquoise Vintage Hepplewhite Dresser Makeover 2019

Hi there! The last months of 2016, I barely touched a paint brush except to paint trim and walls at home. What I really mean is I didn't paint any furniture. Why? Well because the end of the year is busy, it's filled with holidays and family time. I'm glad to say even thought the holidays were beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of it, it's all behind now and I can get back to work.

Now, I am jammed packed with inventory but on New Year's day we had breakfast at Ihop and sneaked a quick trip to Goodwill where I spotted a beauty of a dresser and snatched it up. My husband is an enabler but don't tell him that. He always says you don't need any new pieces you have more than enough. But he knows a good deal and doesn't let me pass on them. I love him! Anyhow, we took this baby home and it jumped to the front of the makeover line, just like that. I was itching to paint a piece of furniture. Sorry no before pictures! I posted a before picture somewhere in my Facebook.

This piece was in immaculate condition, all it needed was some light sanding and some cleaning to get it ready for paint. I used chalk paint for this makeover, distressed it, sealed it with a couple coats of poly, cleaned up the hardware and lined the inside of the drawers with beautifully light scented drawer liners. Bam! That's all folks! Enjoy the rest of the afters.

PS. This piece is available on my Etsy shop, Lilly's Home Designs ;-)

Lining Shelves With Contact Paper

It all started when I wanted to drink a cup of tea! Now what does drinking a cup of tea and lining shelves with contact paper have to do with each other, you ask! Well the cabinet was overstuffed and when I reached out for the tea box, it and other miscellaneous stuff fell out of the cabinet. I thought to myself, while the water for my tea simmers I can quickly empty out the cabinet and reorganize it, it's just a small cabinet it wont take more than 5 minutes, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong! I emptied it out and the contact paper that was put there by one of the previous owners was hanging in the front and I decided it was time to pull it off! Well, once I pulled it off I remembered why it was still there in the first place. When we first moved in, I went to remove the contact paper from one of the other cabinets and there was another paper underneath it that was torn around the edges and I tried to remove it but that thing was super glued. I decided it was a job f

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Reveal

Finally, I'm going to share the kitchen cabinet makeover reveal! It took us a lot longer than we expected to get this done. But we are finally putting the paint brushes and the rollers down. At least until we recoup from all the unplanned painting we did these past few weeks. We didn't have a plan for this or a budget because it wasn't in the cards to do this project just yet. I don't know if you recall from this post but this all started because I wanted a cup of tea . First I just wanted to do a quick reorganization, then I started pulling off contact paper , next thing you know I'm removing doors and stripping paint off the kitchen cabinets . We didn't think things through we just went with it. Before we had clumpy, flat painted ugly cabinets. I'm not exaggerating, you can see for yourself here . Whenever we would clean a them the paint would come off because they were not primed. They were painted with a flat, cheap paint that would absorb s

Best Home office Simple Design Ideas Near Me

Our new house has a spare room that we use daily to enter the house and where we greet all of our visitors since it is our main entrance. It quickly became a catch all room where we would just dump everything we didn't want to deal with at the moment. That was a really big problem and it was stressing me out. I wanted to turn it in to a home office space and create a functional entryway. I wanted it to be beautiful and reflect our style and I needed to spend as little as possible. After pic my desk area Planning my desk area I knew what I wanted to do, I was just so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start. So I made a list (I always make a list) and got to work. To make the entryway functional we needed to add hooks for jackets, handbags, etc, etc... and a bench to take off our shoes. We already had a few pieces we planned to reuse in this space. In our previous home we had purchased a shoe cabinet from Ikea that has served us well and was in perfe
