I decided to use an entertainment hutch as a server in my dining room. I am really loving how the color flows with the other monotones in my dining room. There is also so much more space to store my china and glass ware. What do you think? #carriagehousestaginganddesign #carriagehousestaging

I absolutely love our new Blanco kitchen sink! We chose an under-mount sink from their Diamond collection. It’s the Diamond Reverse Bowl with a low divider, in a white finish. It’s made of granite composite construction and is very durable. We are loving our new kitchen transformation step by step! 🙂

The before and after photos of my diamond in the rough! 

This little gem was once a built in armoire in an old, old house. It was missing a door to the upper half so I made shelving instead. It was covered in several coats of paint to include purple spray paint on the drawers. I think the end result fits nicely in my office. 🙂

Diamond In The Rough

I found this diamond in the rough at an old salvage shop. I think it had been left outside as it was covered in dirt and the wood was badly stained. It had no shelves and had about 3 colors of spray paint on it. After some TLC it turned out remarkable. I love giving old pieces of furniture new life!

Refinishing/Redesigning a dining room table and chairs!

I just love giving old furniture new life! I have started refinishing this dining room set. I’ve wanted the “Restoration Hardware” look for a while. These photos are of the beginning stages. I will add more as I continue this project through completion.  

The photo above (Restoration Hardware catalog photo) was my inspiration!! 


One chair down….5 more to go! 🙂
