This dream of having a kitchen island started with a dresser we found at a local resale shop. It was a bit taller than your standard dresser and made the perfect height for an island, and thus, the dresser to island conversion project was born. If you’re looking to start a upcyled project that will look…
Sooo, as most of you may already know we have been steadily working on converting an old dresser into a kitchen island. My number one goal out of this entire conversion process has been working toward capturing an old, just pulled out of a barn feel. I don’t know if that makes any sense to…
This idea blossomed when we decided to update our dark and dreary kitchen to an authentic farmhouse kitchen, which you can rad about HERE. I had always wanted a vent hood cover and since this is our forever home, I decided it was time to take the plunge.…except for one small problem. We had an…
If you would have told me a year ago that I would be sharing images of my newly updated dream kitchen I would have lol’d…BIG TIME! We were no where near buying our forever home, in fact, we were renting and banking on buying that place! But God…GOD had different plans for our family. I…

I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve sifted through this box of old handwritten recipes over the years… each time I learn something new about my heritage… the woman that left a legacy. My great grandmother passed when I was an infant and I have since lost my Grannie. Oh the stories my Grannie…
I am a sucker for a nice heavily distressed paint job. It is a great way to give new pieces of furniture a beautiful look of old age and history. It is no secret that it has become a very popular go-to look for refinishing those outdated pieces you snagged at a yardsale or just…
I have been seeing these adorable little DIY wood block houses everywhere! They usually have a number on them or a cute little saying and I have simply fell in love! I decided it was time for me to hop on the saw and come up with a cute and simple design. I started with a…
