I’m sharing 15+ furniture makeovers today….all you can do!

Hope you are all having a great week so far. I’m heading out to Atlanta today to attend a blogger’s conference and I’m so excited!
I might even be in the air as you are reading this. ;)
I am so thrilled to finally be able to meet, and see some other bloggers I’ve already met, very, very soon!

I hope to do a post once I come back and share some of it with all of you here. :)
I would bet I will be surrounded by many other bloggers you read and love!

So, since I’m heading out of town I thought I’d do a round up of a bunch of my furniture makeovers and redos.

All in one place! And all things you can do too!

You can also find more in my DIY Tutorials link and the Before & After links above.

Start with something small and work your way up. That’s the best way to try anything new. :)

From day 1 til now. Before and After.

My favorite kind of photos/posts! Whether it’s furniture makeovers or room makeovers.
How about you? Are those a favorite of yours too?
I can’t wait to share–>our house was still living in 1978 when we moved in so I think you will enjoy seeing the transformation. :)

Until then, happy weekend to you!
