Proof that not all of my projects go as planned 😭
I truly thought this mid century modern chair would be a straight forward restoration but I should’ve known there was a reason someone put that fabric over it 🥴🙃
Although I wasn’t able to save the original fabric, I’m obsessed with the new stain color 🥰 now what color
fabric to I start looking for?! And what sewing machine do I get to upholster this chair?!

BUY OR BYE? This gorgeous set popped up for $350 👀 it looks in good condition so not sure I’d be able to do too much to it… so I’m leaning towards BYE. What would you do?

Now it’s 2026, four years since the dental bill and 3 years doing this full time. I’ve made 6 figures ever single year since!!!! If you’re looking for a sign…. This is it!!

Saving this vintage walnut mid century dresser from a sad beige paint job ❤️

Would you have left it black??

I found this vintage mid-century modern Stanley dresser at the thrift store for just $65.. then after discounts I only paid $50!! Hiding underneath layers of black paint was the original gorgeous walnut wood 😍

I stripped off the paint, sanded everything down, repaired the damage, and brought that beautiful walnut grain back to life. The difference from start to finish is WILD 👀

Now for the big question… how much should I list it for?! 💰
