Confessions of a Serial Do-it-Yourselfer

Hi everyone, my name is Christy and today I am so excited to be visiting Our Southern Home! I blog at Confessions of a Serial Do-it-Yourselfer and as the title suggests, I move from one project to the next to the next. I love to drag home all kinds of treasures from who knows where and give them new life! If I can't find what I'm looking for, I love to figure out how to build or create what I need. I also love to share my outdoor spaces and easy-to-follow sewing tutorials.

I started blogging, not only as a way to share my adventures, but also as a means to inspire others to tackle projects they otherwise thought they could never do. Maybe you'll feel inspired too!

I'd love to share a few of my favorite projects with you today…

Let's start with a fun furniture makeover. I found this dining set at a thrift store for $85. Can you see the potential?

Here's a fun upcycle. This drawer was leftover from when we sawed the awkward hump off our son's changing table:

I used it to create a mini-bookcase that we could keep in our room for some of my son's favorite books:

I started with this thrift store mirror and a $3 yard sale frame:

Add some paint and a pretty printed burlap and you've got a burlap framed mirror! You could use any fabric to create a look you love.

How about a build? I redid my master closet to make it more functional, using every available square inch…without breaking the bank!

Finally, let's go outside, I have to share one of my all time favorite projects!

See this sad state of affairs that's going on here on the side of my house, including a missing gate?

Check out this beauty! A peek through the gate window shows how far that side yard has come too!
