Thrifted Buffet Makeover

January 14, 2014 By Meegan 12 Comments

Happy Tuesday!  And it’s time for me to share my thrifted Buffet Makeover! I am seriously so excited to share my thrifted buffet with you today.

You know how you are looking for something, and you KNOW exactly what it is, but you haven’t ever seen one before?  Well that is how this was for me.

I was at the thrift store crossing my fingers for a dresser type thing to hold some of my crafts.  My vintage cupboard holds the other crafts.  But, I have SO many, I needed another cupboard.

I’ve Got the Monday Blues for White

January 13, 2014 By Meegan Leave a Comment

[slideshow_deploy id=’6144′]

 

Happy Monday!!  I’ve got the Monday Blues for white today!  Silly, huh??  I am in the mood to look at a clean crisp white home decor, and I though you might be, too. When I think of white decor, I think of a little shabby, a little chippy, and a whole lot of ideas and variations.  I hope you will like my choices as much as I do. You can also look on my White Pinterest Board for more ideas and inspiration.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Mustikkamaki

Vintage Millie

Romntiska Hem

Laughing With Angels

French Larkspur

1st Option

Shabby Story

Apple Pie and Shabby Style

 I think white is a perfect way to create a soft look in your room.  I like to add small bits of color, like blue and green.  Even a touch of pink or yellow is fun, too.

I have my living room coffee table that I am now think of painting white:

What do YOU think??? Should I do it?  Who knows, by tomorrow, she might have a whole new look!!

But today I NEED to work on this buffet:

I primed her before Christmas!!  It’s time I give her a little white love, don’t you think???  Possibly a little bit of another color, too…  We shall see!!

Did you read my Saturday post??  I am giving up chocolate for 30 days and you are invited.  ALL the details are here.  No promotions or gimmicks, just me trying to eat better.  Read all about it.

I’ve got the Monday blues for white today and I am so happy you joined me!!

 I would love for you to pin each idea and recipe, but please do me a favor and go back and pin to the original source .  Thanks. Join me every Monday for: Monday Blues

Make it a blue Monday…

I hope you have been enjoying Simply The BEST of 2013!!  Now it is my turn to share Simply The Best of 2013-What Meegan Makes. What Meegan Makes started on Dec 27, 2011.  Yep, it has been 2 full years of posts, creativity, amazing followers, and lots of fun friendships.  Thanks so much for joining me on this journey of What Meegan Makes.  It was a very slow start.  I was doing blogging all on my own until about a year ago.  I “met” some amazing bloggers that invited me to their “groups” and “troops” to help spread the word about my blog.  I am SO grateful from them.  (There are too many to mention)  I am a blessed woman, without a doubt.

 

I am looking forward to a new year full of ideas, inspiration and a new look.  Hopefully, my blog will continue to be a place of inspiration, recipes, thrifting, and wonderful thoughts for you to visit each day.  I also hope to make the blog more accessible for all of my readers and followers.  It will be a fabulous year!!

Hello Hello!!  It’s MY turn to share my home for the 12 Days of Christmas Home Tour.

I am thrilled to have you here.  We live in a 950 square foot condo, and I like to fill it to the brim with Christmas.  So let’s get on with the tour.

*This post was updated October 2025. The photography isn’t the best, but it brings back a lot of sentimental memories. As this post was a few weeks after my husband had a quadruple heart bypass. He is still here 12 years later. We are so blessed.
