Hutch Makeover finally finished

Another Thrift Store Hutch Makeover I love thrift store furniture makeovers! The furniture is at the right price and you can let your creativity take over. I bought this hutch for $50 at my favorite thrift store. Instead of sticking to Behr paint like I do with all my projects, I decided to try Devine Color and peel/stick wallpaper from Target. I'm very happy with the results! Here are the before pictures of my $50 Hutch. The color of the hutch wasn't my favorite but I liked the faux Bamboo trim and the Rattan weaving around the cabinet and doors. Before I started the priming and painting part of my project, I took the time and removed all the hardware off the hutch. I took all the hinges, screws and other hardware pieces and gave them a bath in Paint brush cleaner to remove all the old paint so everything looks brand new. Brush cleaner will remove any latex and oil based paint.  I used my new favorite oil based primer ...

More Space Saving packing!

Earlier I posted on space saving packing with my son's clothes. Now it's my turn to pack clothes for our vacation. Here is picture of how my suitcase has progressed through my packing. My clothes are on the left and my son's clothes are in the bin on the right.   I have taken the approach to packing my suitcase by stacking clothes together and then using a pair of pants as the envelope to secure everything.                                    I have a stack of shorts and dresses that are going together.   Next I stack all the clothes together and place them in the middle of the pants Folding the pants in half keeps my clothes together and easy to stick in my suitcase like a package.  I was able to put two stacks of clothes into the suitcase. That includes another stack with pants, shirts an PJ's. All I need now is my bag of toiletries a...

Family Room Makeover

Image
Before Family Room  After Family Room This room needed the most improvement when we moved in. We had to demo the walls to remove the stucco covering old wood paneling. After new drywall through the space we added decorative molding and painted the room Cedar Green from Behr. I made this mirror and frames using driftwood I brought back from my vacation in Maine.  The coffee table and end table were thrift store finds. I paid $10 a table.   The tile through the entire house had to be replaced. I didn't want the typical tile you see in most Florida homes. I decided on  porcelain plank tiles.  The family room sits off the kitchen but in the middle of the walk way to the spare bedrooms and bathrooms. I wanted this space to be used for multiple functions, I was able to create an area for eating and a family room to sit and watch TV together.
