Traci from Beneath My Heart has so many beautiful transformations and tutorials, that I can’t choose just one (click the links to see her transformation process). I’m pretty certain you will see why choosing just 1 to feature isn’t an option. All of her projects will inspire you (to head to the thrift shop or up to the attic or out to the curb or even your own home) to transform everything into something beautiful. Here are the before & after photos of her projects:


Gorgeous After

Buffet Table (I love this one.)

Amazing After

Goodwill Chairs
Before – Yikes

Oo-la-la After

And she has some great DIY projects too! (yea, I know – I love her too!)


Stop over for a weekend visit & tell her I said “hello”!

Have a wonderful weekend! Good bye summer!
