Every now and again I stumble across a bargain! This sure was the case for this old telephone table. It was sitting underneath a larger table at my local thrift shop, looking all lonesome. Originally I didn’t see it!! I always like to do a second wander around when shopping in case I miss things! […]
For a recent makeover in my Daughters room, we were short on a side table. So rather than having to go out and buy one I really wanted to try and use things that I already had. She had an old square basket that had a flip top lid which she used as a laundry […]
Who else loves working with old pallets? There is just something about tearing a pallet apart and then putting it back together in a different form! My love for pallets all started because I needed to fix a bathroom dilemma! After admiring some really cool bath caddy’s in shopping catalogues but with a BIG price tag, […]

After giving my Vintage Chalkboard Suitcase a new look I seem to have gotten the itch to keep going with more of my dated furniture.

Have you ever walked into a thrift store and cast your eyes on something that you have recently seen in the shops??

I couldn’t believe what my eyeballs were seeing because they were brand new and looked like they had stepped straight […]
One of the many things I love about painting is making over furniture for my clients. It might be a small table or a large cabinet or even as simple as a picture frame. So I thought it would be fun to put a collection together some of my 5 Favourite Furniture Makeovers that I […]
This project was a hard one for me because you see I painted my Raggedy Ginger Cookie Suitcase 10 years ago… yes 10 years ago!! (Where has the time gone?!!) My business name Raggedy Bits, came about because I just loved all things to do with Rag Dolls and Gingerbreads. That was even longer ago! […]
Here’s to Winter being over soon here in Australia!!! I am so looking forward to getting back out into my studio in the warmth and tackle so many large projects that I have had to put on hold! My list of smaller “to do” projects is getting smaller and I am glad that I finally […]
One of my most favourite part of furniture makeovers would have to be when working on kids furniture! To see the absolute delight of my little customers after they see their new chair or table or rocking horse or dollhouse makes what I do so much special. This was the case with this Twinkle Twinkle Kids Table […]
Over the weekend, I gave my kitchen a declutter and a BIG clean! Meaning alllll of those huge big jobs, like cleaning the oven, kitchen cabinet tops, pulled everything out of each cupboard, cleaned and purged! BIG job but I am so glad I did it! Right at the very back of one of my […]
