How to Save Thousands of Dollars with Painted Upcycles ~ Plus Updates from Some of Mine!


Happy Wednesday, Friends! A yard sale sofa, a faded outdoor umbrella and a dated oven--what do these three things have in common?

So today I'm sharing just that--three updates ranging from just under two years to three years ago...
