Wow, it’s been a busy summer! I’ve had some home projects I’ve been working on and between that and my love of trail running and hiking I’ve hardly had time for furniture projects. I feel like once the weather warms up here in the Midwest, I have to get outdoors and enjoy every minute of … More Rosie – A vintage cabinet
I call my house Mr. Grey because when I bought it, every room inside was painted a different shade of grey. The outside is your standard 1960s red brick ranch with white trim. It was very plain when I first moved in. Over the years I’ve planted some things, removed the big ugly bushes on … More Flipping Mr. Grey

He is the muscle, the repair guy, the builder, the hauler, and sometimes the voice of reason, that I need to make all of … More The Wedding Doors
I love the challenge of a new and different project so when my son’s fiance asked me if I could make her some “first look” doors for her outdoor wedding ceremony I jumped at the chance! I’m mostly just a painter, my brother, Tim, is the builder and I don’t think he gets nearly as … More How we built a free-standing frame for vintage wedding doors
I found this vintage dresser on Marketplace for $65. I love the claw feet! It’s a solid wood dresser and the drawers still work great. It had some damaged spots and the only original hardware is the round metal knobs on the top row of drawers. The pulls on the lower drawers were missing and … More Luna – A Vintage Dresser
My sister generously donated this vanity to Flipped Her Lid. I love when people think of me when they are getting rid of furniture! 🥰 This piece was probably from the ’90s and has a very slick, glossy, laminate over a pressed wood base. Not the highest quality furniture and only about 30 years vintage … More Emmylou – A sweet little vanity
I’d been looking for a TV cabinet for my living room for a while now. I wanted something the TV could sit on with all the other electronics stored inside, hidden from view along with the messy cords. I finally found this cabinet on Marketplace for $25. It was the perfect length and height and … More Honey – Mid-Century turned Rustic Cabinet
You might remember Anna as a project I posted last April. She was pretty beat up and I restyled her with this distressed southwest theme: … More Anna – The Side Table Re-do
