The Upcycle Queen

Hey everyone! I spent the month of November working on custom orders for a couple of my repeat clients. I wanted to start with sharing these adorable benches I updated just in time for the holiday season. They will be used to display Christmas decorations and more after the holidays are over. June Price I hope you’re happy with your benches. 😊

I’ve been working on these two dressers off and on for over two months. Partially because of the move, and partially because out of frustration I had to walk away for a minute.
I got these two for next to nothing and regretted them before I even loaded them onto my dolly. They were so beat up, missing pieces, and literally falling apart. I kept asking myself “why are you even taking these” not to mention I was in a bad part of town and by myself. (Thank god for share location) As I loaded them into my truck and pieces broke off, and drawers flew open and hit me in the head I thought “just leave them here”
Now that they are both complete I’m glad I didn’t. Both of these pieces have taught me new skills, and reminded me to never give up. There’s always another option. (Especially the bottom one)

This shelf was super beat up, but it was solid so I decided to take it when it was offered to me. I had a couple ideas for this “Rustic Bar” but they weren’t inspiring me so, I defaulted to Pinterest. I typed in rustic bar and immediately saw it. So many pictures came up of black painted bars with wood accents and it was decided. I even had the wood 🪵 printed wallpaper already! I purchased it years ago for another project but never used it. 🎉
I think this would be perfect for a man cave. What do you think?
