Do It On A Dime

REFINISH FURNITURE WITHOUT SANDING

by Filed Under: Decor & Furniture, DIY Projects


So this post is all about a super score that I shared on Instagram.  I walked into Lowe’s..and they were going to THROW AWAY a brand new Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations Kit.  Yeah, you read that right.  Throw it away because there was paint spilled on it.  And I was all over it like Peppa Pig in her muddy puddles.  (Sorry, mom of a toddler over here, haha!)

Anyway, there was this FANTASTIC piece outside of my in-law’s storage garage that the previous owners had left.  And…there were mice living inside of it.  Grody to the max.  Ah  I knew it was worthy of a makeover, though…so here’s what I did.  Completely free and so easy to do.

Don’t have a sander?  It’s easy to makeover furniture.  I would totally do this again!  Couldn’t wait to show you guys!

MINI HOUSE TOUR & DOLLAR TREE FALL DECOR

by Filed Under: Decor & Furniture, DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Holiday, Money Saving

It’s fall y’all!

Here’s how I decorate our house for fall and a mini tour of our downstairs (plus some updates in our master bedroom).  I love seeing how others are updating their homes and touring around houses.  Does that make me weird?

You can find the FREE PRINTABLE here:

Here’s our new bedding.  It’s out of stock at Macy’s (boo!), and the sale is over, but you can find it here, for a pretty decent price.  (I always Google for current coupon codes, too to maximize my savings)

Here’s how to make the DIY Mummies:
