I spot a lot of second hand wooden pieces that have potential. But then they will have that awful heart shaped cut out that screams "country", and not in a good way.
For example...
This piece was put together with screws so it was easy to make modifications.
Then a little spray paint and that's all she took.

Kitchen reno is in full swing here at Chez Peachez.
Our goal is to open up the kitchen to the living room and have a better flow.
Now that's what I'm talking about! Coming soon, new hardware floors. Adios white ceramic tile floors. (who puts white tile in a kitchen???)

An upcoming kitchen remodel has necessitated a bit of rearranging and pantry shifting.
I grabbed a vintage metal cabinet that was working out in the garage and gave it a make over and a promotion to pantry storage in the utility room.
There we go, it cleaned up nicely :->

I'm working on projects here and there to redecorate my kitchen in a fun 70's style. This weekend it was kitchen chairs.
I picked up some knock off Breuer chairs at the Thrift store. They are in very good condition and at $7 a pop the price was right.
After a little elbow grease, steel wool, spray paint and a stencil, they have a new lease on life.
I'm quite pleased and they look great with my new to me craigslist tulip table.

Remember when I updated my outdated wet bar with a little paint and wallpaper?
I really love this vintage wallpaper and I finally got around to adding it to the built in bookcases at the other end of the room.
The bookcases flank the fireplace and here is just one side, a before picture from a couple of years ago.
Needs something, right?
Just the right touch.

I've been in create overdrive this weekend trying to get prepared for my first holiday sale coming up in 2 weeks, yikes :-#
I found the most fabulous mirror recently at the Goodwill.
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time to snag this baby. It's big, about 3 feet from top to bottom. I think it's pretty retro fabulous as is. The price was insane. Can you read it here on the glass?
My intention was to cover this with seashells and take it to my first holiday sale and hopefully cash it in for some big bucks.
But now that it is on my wall it's not going anywhere.
