Two Tone Vintage Bassett Server Makeover

A vintage Bassett server gets a fresh modern makeover with Iron Ore and Black Gel stain.  You know when one project leads to another, which leads to another and another and another?  Well, that's kind of what's happening with this little vintage Bassett server.  I actually had no plans of keeping it when I first spotted it at Goodwill, but after bringing it home and giving it a makeover with Iron Ore and Black Java Gel stain I kind of fell in love. So, what's the problem? Well, the MCM vibe of this gorgeous vintage server doesn't really jive with the modern farmhouse feel of our current dining room decor.  Moving the Bassett server to the dining room means the farmhouse clock, wood and metal chairs, rug and light fixture will have to go.   I'm still deciding if this little MCM server is worth doing a mini makeover,  but don't be surprised if this gorgeous piece ends up in my dining room.  ...

How to Refinish and Restore a Vintage Card Catalog

An 18 drawer vintage card catalog gets refinished with new stain and hairpin legs for a fresh modern makeover.  This post is sponsored by Crates and Pallet .  As always, all opinions are my own  I've been able to find and transform some amazing pieces throughout the years, but scoring an authentic 18 drawer vintage card catalog is definitely at the top of the list.  Ever since I can remember, I've been searching for a card catalog that wasn't crazy expensive or too far away.   It wasn't until a recent late night search on Facebook Marketplace that I FINALLY lucked out.  You guys, I actually found a card catalog that was less than $100 and only 30 minutes away!  I messaged the guy right away then woke up bright and early the next morning to snag it before anyone else could.   Can you believe this beauty was saved from a dumpster?  The guy I bought it from just happened to pass a house that was cleaning out and hauling stuff to a dumpster.  He saved...

Coastal Blue and Wood Vintage Dixie Dresser Makeover

A vintage Dixie dresser gets a two-tone makeover with Coastal Blue milk paint! White and wood will probably always be my favorite furniture combination, but wood and Coastal Blue are quickly becoming a close second.  The deep dark blue is neutral enough to go with almost anything and a little more interesting than traditional white or black.    Just recently, I bought a vintage Dixie dresser off Facebook Marketplace that was in good enough condition to keep the drawers original and just update the body.  I love wood furniture and I love painted furniture, but the combination of the two is definitely my favorite.    The best tips and tricks for finding good quality, affordable, used vintage furniture and decor.   ...

How to Make Green Apples From Dollar Tree Jars

Dollar Tree storage jars get turned into adorable green apples perfect for fall and back to school teacher gifts! It's August, which means it's practically September and time for back to school and fall decor.  It's also the first Monday of the month, which means it's time for another Dollar Store DIY !  This month, I decided to get a little crafty and make an adorable little green apple jar.  I initially planned on making a red apple, but my mom insisted I make the apple green.  She said everyone makes red apples, so it needed to be green.  I guess mother knows best because when I searched for green apples I could not find a single project.  Crazy, right? Considering I'm not a fan of red (except at Christmastime !) I took my mom's advice (ahem, demands) and painted the jar green.  I have to say,  mom was right.  This little Dollar Tree jar sure did turn into the cutest green apple. You can fill these adorable little jars with candy for ...
