When it comes to furniture, the uglier, the better! I love making over old furniture from the thrift store. Nearly all of the projects you see here have been refinished for my own house.

When we moved into our old 1973 house after living in a 2-bedroom condo, we didn’t have enough money to furnish a bigger house. So I turned to thrift stores and paint.

Here are the projects that helped turn our old house into a comfortable, affordable home!
