    Project DIY: Transforming a Vintage Table

    March 30, 2021 /

    The DIY Project: Turning this vintage table into a turquoise beauty! Why I Love It Krista and I found this unique little, wooden table and fell in love with the size and shape of it. Vintage pieces always have so much character! The Plan We were so excited to give this wood table a new life! The hope was to preserve and highlight the wood grain on the top, but we decided the walnut top and oak bottom would have been too much of a contrast, so chose to paint the table one solid colour. We fell in love with a turquoise chalk paint and couldn’t wait to use it!…

    Project DIY: Lattice Table Makeover

    September 4, 2020 /

    We love a good DIY project! Not only is it fun to give new life to old things, it is a great way to keep items out of the landfill. Part of a sustainability mindset is finding ways to use what we already have and therefore purchase less. The DIY Project: Transforming this dated lattice table into a farmhouse style piece Why I Love It I fell in love with this piece the moment I laid eyes on it. I was so excited when I responded to the online ad that I typed in my phone number wrong! Thankfully, the seller was kind enough to reply by email even after…

    We love a good DIY project! Not only is it fun to give new life to old things, it is a great way to keep items out of the landfill. Part of a sustainability mindset is finding ways to use what we already have and therefore purchase less. The DIY Project: Turning this two-tone vintage lamp into a statement piece Why I Love It I have to confess that I did not like this lamp when I saw it. It was free and I only wanted the lampshade, but needed to take the entire lamp to get it. Having the lamp home, I began to appreciate it more. I liked…
