My $20 yardsale Dining set redone

So I have been looking for a new dining set for a while and I have been searching for a round one that I seen on pinterest. A few months ago a lady has a round table and mismatched chairs for $20! So I was beyond excited. I rounded up my crew and we headed to get it. When I picked it up I have to say it was in awful shape, the table top was worn and had markers and paint on it the chairs smelled funky but good thing I can always see past all that. The dining set has been sitting in our building about two months because I will admit I am awful about starting a project and starting a new one before I am done the Mr hates this so I had to be learn to wait. Finally two weeks ago I finally cleaned it up and took a palm sander to the table top it was ALOT harder than I though it literally took me days and hours to get it to the bare wood. So I used my father in laws palm sander with 110 grit sand paper and then sanded the table legs and chairs. I then primed and painted the table and chairs with spray paint krylon primer and used six cans of krylon ivory satin spray painy for the the chairs and table bottom, I let that dry and added polycrylic. Then I went to Mary Jo's and bought two yards of fabric... p.s. way too much but oh well. I redid the cushions and then used a stain and polycrylic in one a few coats on the top ( be very well ventilated in this step I learned the hard way and got sick). Any who $60 all together for a dining set is alright by me. Until the next project have a great day lovies.

Front porch set. Diy. Thrift store find.

So I found these beautiful detailed chairs at a local thrift store for $2.50 a piece and a beat up table for $4. I am a sucker for junk but I see beyond the look and what it can be. They have now been sitting in my storage room for 3 months I finally painted them the vintage teal color I used on my entertainment center in a previous post and bought some beautiful fabric from Mary Jo's $9 worth. I painted them and reupholstered them added some polycrylic and tada!!! Sadly this is the first project I have sold and I say sadly because I keep everything lol even though I buy it intending to sell it but I have to make the hubby happy too. Happy Thursday. More projects coming I scored a beautiful dining set for $20 I am about to redo and keep :) I will post it step for step soon. Thanks for reading. Xo Savannah

Vintage Potato holder revamped

So as I am browsing through my local goodwill this vintage potato holder catches my eye. Of course not many people can see the beauty in things but I can always look at something and see the after. Best part of this story I only paid $3.99 and had a can of blue lagoon spray paint in satin I have been wanting to use. So I cleaned it really well , lightly sanded and it was ready for spray painting. After two coats of paint I then put tape in rows over the heart to create the stripes added some grey acrylic paint and polycrylic and there ya go a beautiful potatoe holder. Can be used for laundry or just a conversation piece. Happy Monday funday.

Painted entertainment center and matching end tables

So I have this brown entertainment center I purchased at Walmart about four years ago. It was maybe two hundred dollars nothing to fancy. It had a huge hutch piece on it that I asked my hubby to remove ( wish I had a previous pic). I also had a set of end tables given to me by my mother in law about ten years ago they were cherry wood and I painted them grey a while back but just wasn't feeling the color so I changed them to. Well I for one love to be different and just get tired of brown and tan and I am slowly adding color where ever I can. So I decided to finally paint my tv stand and end tables. All I did was remove any hardware,  sand with 60 grit sand paper,  wood fill any holes or inperfections, wipe down with a damp cloth, prime with kiltz primer, add three coats of Vintage teal paint (will post a picture), two coats of polycrylic.... tada newly painted furniture... it did take me hours upon hours for all the coating. Oh and I always only use a purdy brush. Happy diy Saturday.

Redone Red Entry table

Happy weekend yall. Yay for the weekend. Well my weekly project was to look for a cheap entry table. I have been wanting a pretty entry table for months. So I actually have a good friend who knows I love redoing furniture so they gave me this table as a gift. I love different pieces I am not a brown and tan house kind of person gag....boring. So I have repainted my dining room red and had paint left over and used that. I first took off the hardware, then used kiltz primer, then two coats of red later and two coats of polycrylic I am done. Simply easy diy. No sanding on this one. Enjoy. Oh and new hardware. 

Painted Kitchen Cabinets. Diy $75

Hey yall. A few weeks ago I finally broke down and painted my 1960s oak kitchen cabinets. I used a sage wall paint that I already owned in eggshall. Well first I painted the cabinets white, I always wanted white cabinets but once I did it just didnt go well in my kitchen.  So I had been looking on pinterest and I really liked the green cabinets I have been seeing. So I just went for it. I first removed all the old knobs, I then cleaned them very good with warm water and dish soap,  then I sanded them and wiped them down again.  Next I primed the cabinets. Then I painted about three coats of the green hours in between coats (I kept the doors on ...it would have been easier if I would have taken them off but you can't tell me nothing) I used a paint brush for the base of the cabinets and hinge area and a cabinet door roller for the cabinet doors. After that I took a tiny craft paint brush and painted around the hinges again for a good cover. I then added about four coats of polycrylic to the cabinets and it protects the paint as well as gives them a good shine. I posted the original knobs on ebay and sold them and used that money for the the new hardware I also found on ebay. Brushed nickel hardware at lowes or a hardware store was going to cost over $100 and I got mine on ebay for $50 score!! I am happy with my cabinets and found it super easy and cheap. The color I used is Valspar 4000 latex paint eggshell and its called Autumn Grey but its a sage color. Kiltz latex primer and polycrylic all purchased from lowes. It would cost about $75 to do it with all the supplies. Any questions let me know. Happy Monday yall. I need to get my housewife duties done. :)

Faux granite countertops $60

So as I have mentioned before we bought a house in September and the whole house needed work but the kitchen is always the main focus where people want a update right? Well I have been looking at stained white laminate counters for months... I should have done something sooner but lord I can't get nothing doing during football season.  (Go Carolina Panthers!! ♡) Well since we were knocked out of the playoffs by those stupid 49ers it was time for me to focus on the house again. First I watched countless youtube videos and read various blogs to see how other people updated their counters the most reasonable thing for me was the faux painted granite counters.  So here is how I did it. First buy the supplies. You will need  Paint trays for primer and polycrylic . Sandpaper the less grit the better in my opinion, primer we always use kiltz, base coat I used a tan wall paint, accent color's in acrylic paint from Michaels or walmart a few different colors and I recommend two of each to be safe, polycrylic sealer for the finished coats,  sponges,  paper plates or old disposal ones, I also used a small door roller for the primer and sealer. Tape off appliances and walls. First clean the counters then sand them to have a smooth surface,  clean again and dry ...now prime and I let mine sit overnight. In the morning I added a light tan thin coat of wall paint I found on the clearance rack at lowes for $13 (most people just use the darkest acrylic paint black or chocolate for the base kind of wish I had done that.) After the base coat cut the sponge in pieces for the different colors, then start with the darkest color I used black and started sponging it on all over almost covering the counters, then I started with the brown I had chose, then I mixed a light grey and white and barely used it all over until it started seeing a pattern I liked. It will look crazy at first deep breaths don't freak...I did. After you have reached your desired look you are happy with I added my first coat of polycrylic and I used six coats I did mine over a two day period... do not sit anything on the counters for a few days and get water or wetness up immediately. Also after the first two coats of polycrylic I lightly sanded the counters to have a even coat all over. The crack to the wall to the back was harder for me to do for some reason. Get as close as you can around sink. I am happy with the results but to me anything would have been better than the stained 1960s counters. I have had them for about two months now almost and they hold up well just make sure as I have said to get water up asap. I couldn't be happier with the results. I hope this is helpful and happy diying. Any questions feel free to ask. Have a great day yall. P.s. I painted my cabinets too blog on that next...
