I was sent some powdered milk paint by The Real Milk Paint Co., and I was so excited to jump in and give milk paint a try for myself after hearing some rave reviews from my fellow professional furnit...
There’s something about springtime (which is too quick becoming summertime in Arizona) that makes me crave bright colors, especially greens, blues and yellows. Sometimes bold is scary in big do...
Ever since I saw this tremendous subway art dresser over at Lindauer Designs, I knew this was a project that I had to tackle myself. As a native Arizonan, I am a self confessed arizonaphile. I love A...
old, gray, weathered pallet + colorful, salvage, water valves = rad coat rack This was a quick (well, quick if you don’t spend hours searching for the right sized screws) and simple project that pack...
This “set” is really not a set at all. Just 3 cool pieces, picked up at 3 different times and 3 different places. They all had elements that I thought would work well together, so I decided to ...
I’ve been meaning to do this post forever! And finally yesterday, I got it together and went down to Livy Lou’s, armed with my camera, so I could show you all this fantastic little spot that is...
This is one of those projects that I’ve had marinating in my little brain for a long, long time. I’m happy to report that the finished project turned out just like I hoped it would. (I love it ...
One of the things I love about refinishing old furniture is the stories the pieces tell. They have a past. And thats part of the allure. They have bumps, bruises and scars. Sometimes the best course ...
GAH!! I was getting so good at taking before pictures for you all that I got cocky. And you know what happens when you get cocky? You screw it all up. So my streak is broken a...
I’m sharing my love for all things herringbone over at Perfectly Imperfect as my first post as a new contributing writer over there. (If you are not already a follower of my pal Shaunna’s fanta...

I introduced you to my Etsy shop, The Hob Knobery, back at it’s launch in late July (right before the birth of my 4th child.) I’ve been blown away by the response and want to thank all of you that ha...
I picked up a cute little pair of French, two-tier side tables from my very favorite thrift store a while ago. (Yes, the same favorite thrift store I bought this headboard at. Stay away!!...
I forgot to draw a winner of the adorable Moda “It’s a Hoot” fabric that I had left over from my dresser redo! The winner is Jenni from The Roseland Family!! Congratulations Jenni!
I told you guys my Christmas gift to myself this year was a new-to-me Canon Rebel. I’m very excited to delve deeper into the realm of photography! But it’s like learning a whole new langu...
I’m going to admit, before the new baby was born, I was getting completely burnt out on furniture refinishing. And it wasn’t so much the painting that was wearing me down, but the business of i...
I get really excited when I get to mix it up a little around here and paint some different pieces. I love a dresser redo as much as the next gal, but it’s so fun to get to transform something d...
Wow! What a year 2011 has been!! For both me personally, and for Twice Lovely. I began 2011 completely out of commission with morning sickness at the start of my 4th pregnancy. But ...

I rescued this cute little 2 drawer chest on the side of the road a little while back. I’m still shocked at what people are going to just throw away! Sure, it was shabby, but that baby had obvi...

Im breaking my rule by posting on Anne Maries blog again. Sometimes I cant resist entering into the conversation of furniture. Especially since Ive recently moved into a new house. Ive noticed, in th...
I picked up this large mirror at my very favorite thrift store for a pittance last week. It’s one of those places that’s a little bit scary, and nothing’s marked with a price, so you have to as...
I picked up a waterfall desk from a local thrift store a little while ago. It had black painted drawers, a sad and flakey wood finish, and no handles. Now, I’m in love with all the two-t...
