 Another kijiji find! This side table was in rough shape - it looked like someone took a hammer to the top of it. BUT for $20 I thought it was worth trying to fix up. Turned out to be a great addition to our guest room.

 It took 10 months of me working from home to finally get a real desk. Got this vintage desk off Kijiji, but it was a little worse for wear. Lots of scratches up top and a poorly done mending with glue on a part of the frame. But we fixed her up and now she looks brand new!
Click 'Read More' for the Before & After! Skill Level: Intermediate  Upgraded an old rusted garden chandelier - this might be the easiest DIY project I have ever done. I included a 'how to' guide, but it hardly needs any instruction.  Skill Level: Beginner  Made from mostly reused materials.  I tried my hand creating mercury glass panes with this old sconce in our backyard. I would say it turned out okay. Not my best work, but still looks a lot better than it did before!  Skill Level: Beginner  Made from mostly reused material  This table top used to be an old vintage door, which was cool, but not very practical. My kids have a knack for crumbs and the panels of the door were great for storing them - gross. So we refinished the top. It’s a quick and easy update for a variety of table bases.
Skill Level: Beginner  Anyone have a backyard littered with kids toys? We do. Then I got a big ugly tub to put them in, but that filled up and also looked terrible. So we built this deck box – looks great, holds (and hides) all the toys! It would also work great to store cushions or garden supplies.
Skill Level: Intermediate  I love the Gleaming Primrose Mirror from Anthropologie, but not the price. Rather than spending the money, I thought I would try my hand at a DIY makeover on a second-hand mirror I found on Kijiji. I could not find the right size, but liked the shape of this one, so I took the bold step of also resizing it. I have never cut glass, so I thought this project was doomed for a Pinterest Fail, but I was happily surprised at how it turned out. Best part - it cost a tenth of the one from Anthropologie! Skill Level: Intermediate  Made from some reused material  We are backyard people. We LOVE our outdoor space, and soak it up any chance we get! We needed a table that could host more people, but still left movement for play. Cannot wait to share great food and even better wine around this table!
Skill Level: Intermediate.  IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME! And there is nothing I love more than cozy holiday decorations. Our now family of 4 (5 counting the dog) needed a few more stocking to hang by the fireplace with care. I found some GREAT fabrics – with stockings I think the more textures the better! Details below.
Skill level: Beginner  I have said this before, but I will say it again, I love French design. I especially love the opulence of French Provincial furniture. So when I found this piece second hand I had to have it! All it needed was a little love and a new life. Here is the before and after:  Skill Level: beginner to Intermediate  Made from mostly reused materials |
