The counter I couldn't pass up is looking amazing! When I last updated you, this was the state of the counter. It had a coat of General Finishes Stain Blocker on it and it was drying. The original finish had such a strong orange/red tint to it and I was concerned...
This furniture makeover actually isn't a new one. I finished this piece a while ago, but I never gave it a proper photo shoot, so I figured it was long overdue! Back in October, I picked up two French provincial dressers from my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. (I told you this...
It's been some time since I took photos of a furniture makeover from start to finish, including everything in between. When it's time to work on a piece, I get so darn excited that I go into makeover mode and taking photos to document the process becomes an afterthought. The process is...
I've been working on an old round oak table with a pedestal bottom and a set of four chairs for a while now, and I'm happy to report that the set is finally finished! That makes two antique oak tables that I've refinished this year. The second one was done earlier and is currently available...
Every time I work at Morgantown Market, I always take a walk around the store to see what my fellow vendors have brought in. There are some pieces that I know I want right away and it takes me no time at all to scoop them up and take them home. This one drawer table was one of...
This past weekend, I hosted a Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Workshop at Morgantown Market. Five participants signed up and we had a blast turning these into gorgeous card catalogs. The group was such a hard working bunch. They got to work right away, mixing up Curio...
This small side table is one that I bought with the intention of painting it for the Twin Valley Food Pantry Fundraiser back in February. It's a great little size and it had the sweetest shape! Time didn't allow me to finish it for that event, so it's coming with me on April 24th to...
Back at the beginning of December, I found a gorgeous vintage vanity on Facebook Marketplace. I wasn't interested in the vanity as a whole piece, but rather the two sides. My Dad and I picked up the piece and separated the two sides from the body. They were in pretty good shape...
During my last live demonstration at Morgantown Market, I met up with a super sweet customer named Amandaa. She was on the hunt for a large storage piece in her home, and I had a perfect option in mind. After the demonstration came to a good stopping point, we snuck away and I...
Now that I'm carrying Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint and General Finishes Milk Paint in my space at Morgantown Market, I thought I'd take the time to help explain the features that each offers and help you decide which is the right product for your next project! Before I...
On Saturday, five lovely women joined me at Morgantown Market and created beautiful MMS Milk Painted windows for their homes. We began the workshop by "shopping" for Milk Paint and talking about the look each woman wanted to achieve on her window. Everyone chose a...
Back on February 10th, I painted a piece of furniture live and in person at Morgantown Market using Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint. The subject for the live demonstration was this chest of drawers. As you can see, it started off with a high gloss factory finish and it had shiny...
I once saw a meme on Instagram that totally cracked me up. Dory from Finding Nemo was saying she had to cut back on buying so much furniture and then she sees a piece she likes and says "Ooh, look! Furniture!" That's basically what happens to me every time I walk into Morgantown...
Disclaimer Notice In the interest of being open and transparent with my readers, I partnered with a wholesale hardware company called Rustic Brands for this furniture makeover. There are a handful of colors that I have never painted with in the Miss Mustard Seed's Milk...
Well, I'm all set up and ready to go here at Conestoga Mennonite Church for theFood for Families Fundraiser! I thought I would take some time while it's quiet to give you a virtual tour of my space. Come take a "walk" with me, won't you? See my Momma in the photo? She's...
Oh my word, this girl is pooped! Yesterday, my Mom and I finished up the last few pieces that are coming with me to the Twin Valley Food Pantry Fundraiser this weekend at Conestoga Mennonite Church. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about and you missed my post about it, you can...
I'm a sucker for little sewing cabinets. The spindles and cubbies fascinate me and I think they're incredibly practical to use for jewelry storage. I've worked on a handful of sewing cabinets in the past. This one was a stand-alone piece. It opened up to reveal a plethora of...
This adorable vintage side table caught my eye as soon as I saw it. It was just inside the entrance to an antique shop, and it was the first piece I brought up to the front when I was creating my pile of goodies. It wound up being one of about 5 tables I bought that day! It...
I think I've been in bed by 8:30 every night this weekend so far! Friday was spent painting in the workshop and getting more pieces finished for the Food for Families Fundraiser next weekend. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with two lovely ladies during my Paint Your Own...
The work continues in the workshop as I'm getting ready for the Food for Families Fundraiser. Today, I have a busy day in the Morgantown area, so I won't have a paintbrush in my hands. I'll be delivering a lovely pair of French provincial nightstands to a client, posting flyers...
