Classic White Bedroom Furniture Makeover

Classic White Dresser Makeover | Denise on a Whim
I don't typically paint furniture white.
But I think this bedroom pair I recently made-over
has got me headed in a new direction!

Contemporary Rustic Vegetable Bin Makeover

Contemporary Rustic Vegetable Bin Makeover from Denise on a Whim
This vegetable bin is something a friend of mine picked up at a yard sale.
It started out with an outdated country style but
with a few new doors and some paint, it's now a modern-rustic piece!

Sweet Little Bench Makeover

Teal Blue and Lime Green Bench Makeover from Denise on a Whim
Sometimes my friends want me to make them something and we work out a little trade.
That's exactly how I acquired this bench.
I made 2 small pallet signs for a friend and I got this bench to paint and sell.
So paint it, I did!

Home, Memories & Laughter Sign

Rustic Wooden Lettered Home Decor from Denise on a Whim; Home is Where Love Resides
With a job making commercial signs during the day,
and then turning around making painted wooden signs when I get home,
I'm sometimes surprised I don't make signs in my sleep too!
The sign I'm showing you today turns out to be one of my favorites of all time.

Teal and Lime Green Dry Sink Makeover

A real eye-catcher! Dry Sink Makeover in Teal and Green by Denise On a Whim
This dry sink was nothing special. Just your standard assembly-required piece of furniture with a very dark finish. Because of it's original dark look, I planned on painting it white and distressing the edges. But things took a turn for the better. ( I think anyway!)

Wooden Bowl Display

A thrifted and salvaged wall organizer for the bathroom via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
I'm always picking up various odds and ends at the thrift store. One corner of my house is actually overrun by all the junk I find. I figured I'd better start using some of it or I might as well just call myself a hoarder and be done with it! This project used only one little piece from my stash, a wooden bowl. But hey, at least it's a start!

Antique Red & Cream Stand

Antique Stand Makeover via http://deniseonawhim.blogspot.com
I've had this stand in my garage for nearly 2 years. After the holidays and the tree came down in my workshop (aka: living room), I figured it was high time I got to painting this beauty!

Every Time a Bell Rings... A Christmas Sign with a Classic Movie Line

Movie line from It's a Wonderful Life as pallet art
When it comes to the holidays, I can't go a season with watching my favorite movie (ever): It's a Wonderful Life. It's an awesome reminder of how important each and every one of us are in this crazy-old world!

Girl Put Your Records On {A Cabinet Makeover}

vintage, furniture makeover, chalk paint
This great old record cabinet was a donation from a friend. With its original pulls, it had a bit of an oriental flavor to it. But not anymore!

Striking Red Sewing Desk

This sewing stand is such a dainty little piece with beautiful hardware. She's so girly and pretty that I knew red would look good on her! Let's take a look at her before she got some new clothes.

Coffee Served Daily Sign

I love coffee. This is no secret. But, for some reason, I've never made a coffee sign. I've seen some super cute ones out there lately so I figured it was time for me to join the crowd!

Bundt Pan Punkin'

I must a have thing for vintage bundt pans because I always seem to have 1 or 2 lying around the house. Good thing I do, too, because I love my new little punkin'!

Rustic Flag {a pallet & wire project}

I had a request from my best friend's mom awhile back to donate something to an upcoming raffle. I figured I would make a pallet sign, which are pretty easy to do but always sell well. The raffle is part of American Heros' Ride, so I decided to make a pallet flag. I've never actually made one before either and I thought it would be fun to try. I really love how it turned out so I'm sharing it with you today.

Cupboard Door Mailholder

I love the look of all the french-inspired projects I see on Pinterest and my blog travels. I have never actually made anything with a french flair. Figured I had better change that!

Love You More Chunky Sign

Chunky frames. I love them. And I don't find nearly enough of them. So, sometimes I just create my own, like this litlte guy!

The Chalkboard with a Magnetic Personality

I found this cheval mirror frame at an auction. There was no mirror in it when I bought it, unless one small shattered piece in the bottom corner counts. The frame itself was in good shape, so I snagged it up for a steal, just knowing it would be a great upcycle project!
