Traditional Turned-Leg Coffee Table
Sometimes you can find perfectly good pieces of furniture being discarded because of a few scratches or a broken leg. Such was the case with this traditional coffee table.
It was a weekday morning after dropping the kids off at school, when I saw a young mom putting this coffee table out on trash day. Me being me, I pulled over and asked her if she minded if I take it. She was so sweet, she actually dug through cardboard boxes for me to find the two legs that had fallen off.
The turned ...

5 Things to Consider When Setting Up a Business Blog
Building an extensive website is much more involved than many companies would leave you to believe. While I can and have put together very simple blog sites in under two hours, if you intend on building a business site, you should plan on weeks and even months of continuous set-up and revisions in order to get it just right.
The key components of the EntriWays site are now in place, yet this week as I started adding sponsors to the site and it got me thinking about all of the things ...

New England Winter Wonderland
Earlier this week, Mother Nature brought us some New England snow. More is on the way so I thought I'd share a few images of how beautiful New England can be in the snow.
The first image was taken by my sister. I've featured her images here before because she has the most picturesque backyard and she always seems to capture the most beautiful photos.
This one happened to be taken after a recent snow storm. It was the calm after the storm when the sun lit up the sky in a brilliant yellow ...

Burgundy Wine Racks
This past Summer, I discovered General Finishes Glaze Effects and absolutely fell in love with the product. Glaze Effects are translucent water based colors. Applied over paint, the glaze creates a unique color wash or wood grain finish.
I first tried General Finishes Pitch Black glaze over Coastal Blue - a rich, deep blue - which you can see HERE. The glaze gives a matte paint finish depth and when applied and wiped off with a clean, dry cloth in a horizontal sweep, creates what looks ...

Broyhill Two-Tone Tall Chest
The New England weather has been cooperating with temperatures above normal up until yesterday. So on New Year's Eve morning I decided to visit the thrift store to see if perhaps I could pick up a dresser and satisfy my urge to paint something.
Even thrift stores run sales and being the last day of the year, they were offering all furniture at 60% off. I actually found three dressers I wanted to take home that day, but knew I could only work on just one at a time in the winter months. So I ...

Girl’s Bedroom Set: White Glaze Over Yellow
Do you have days when you just feel like your brain is on the fritz? Being creative seems like an insurmountable task. Focussing is almost impossible. The thought of putting complete sentences into a coherent blog post is overwhelming.

Best of 2015
Year-end is the perfect time to review what we've accomplished in the past year and where we are headed. So it's the perfect time to show you my favorite furniture makeovers in 2015.
First up are the buffets. I love taking long, solid wood dressers and converting them into buffets, entryway tables, and media stands to be used in the dining, hallway, or living room.
Old World Sideboard - Black Glaze Over Green
One of my favorite new products that I discovered this past year was General ...
