This plant stand was looking a little tired, but a few coats of @rustoleum spray paint gave it a whole new life. 🌿✨ If you know my work, you know that I hate painting natural wood, but sometimes there’s a scenario that calls for it. I chose a soft green that feels timeless and I love how it turned out! A few spray paint tips: ✔️ Clean thoroughly before painting. ✔️Use a good primer so that your paint bonds well ✔️ Use light, even coats ✔️ Allow proper drying time between coats Sometimes the smallest projects make the biggest impact! (I linked the BEST faux peonies down below as well) 👇 #FurnitureFlip #RustOleum #VintageDecor #FurnitureMakeover #DIYHomeDecor PaintedFurniture ThriftedHome CottageStyle FurnitureRefinishing BeforeAndAfter #LTKHome
Here are the steps I used to restore this vintage buffet! ✨Sand (this was 75% of the work) - start with a rough grit (80-120) depending on what you need to remove - I used a sandpaper block, carbide scraper, and mouse sander for the tight corners - Sand again with finer grit (220) - Light hand sand with 400 grit - Wipe down with damp cloth ✨Prestain - Don’t skip this step, this is what helps your stain absorb evenly! ✨Stain - I used 2 coats of @minwaxusa English Chestnut - sand lightly with 400 in between coats ✨Seal - my first time trying this and I’m now a BELIEVER! I used @zinsser Seal Coat Shellac, it goes on like water and dries fast, but makes that top coat go on like soooo smooth ✨Top coat - @minwaxusa wipe-on poly is my go-to. Wipe on with a rag and add a second coat if needed ✨Drawers - I used @howard_products wood conditioner on the inside of the drawers (bonus is that it smells AMAZING) #tayloredhome #tayloredhomedesign #furniturerestoration #furnituredesign #furniturerefinishing
A little refinishing ASMR for you ✨ Here are the steps I followed for this solid wood piece: - clean surfaces - Sand (I avoided chemical strippers with this project), and use carbine scraper for corners - Wipe down with damp cloth - Brush on a coat of @howard_products Wax-N-Feed wood conditioner inside drawers - Apply a layer of @minwaxusa Prestain #tayloredhome #tayloredhomedesign #furnituredesign #furnitureflip #furniturerestoration #LTKHome

Not totally done yet, but here’s where our living room is at now after some DIY picture frame moulding! We are in the process of picking out a paint color for this room, and I scan FBMP daily for a couch 😜 #tayloredhome #tayloredhomedesign #pictureframemoulding #livingroom #90shome Pottery barn, Loloi rugs, DIY project, living room makeover, traditional decor, faux flowers

Now that the kids are back in school I’m slowly gaining some motivation to finish some more projects around here 😆 This shaker peg towel rack I found on Etsy was the perfect addition to the bathroom!

My kids have been fascinated by this Smithsonian Picturpedia book set! (The 4 year old loves to look at all the pics, and the 7 year old loves to actually read them ☺️). They have been such a great educational activity when we are stuck in the car and trying to keep them off screens!
