I have a Dumpster Bookshelf TURNED ROLLING ISLAND!   How is this possible you might be asking?  A few power tools, some casters, reclaimed wood, and of course CeCe Caldwell’s Paints and their new ALL NATURAL Stain! Update!!!  I no longer use CeCe Caldwell’s Paints.  I found something I love EVEN MORE.  I use DIY […]

Cheap bookshelf makeovers are on a roll. Cheap bookshelf makeovers are one of my favorite trash to treasure projects.  Its a box with some shelves.  No character, and can be found for a few dollars.  Or, maybe even around a dumpster.  I recently transformed another one of my junk bookshelves to jewel of a bookcase. Here […]

Garage Organized using Junk. Is your garage full of junk?  Keeping  your garage neat and organized is hard! Especially if you a)have children and their equipment b)restore and refurbish furniture c)collect a lot of junk.  I am all of the aforementioned. Last year my friend Emma (organizer extraordinaire) came to my rescue and helped me […]

Wheels Change the entire look of Furniture Just Add Wheels.  Rolling Furniture Part One.  Adding wheels to furniture is easier than you think! I LOVE furniture that rolls.  Partly, because it is easy to move around…..I often change my mind about where I want things to live and wheels make it easier for everyone to […]

Make a Work Bench from Wood Pallet! If you are new to REDOUX then you should know, I love nothing more than “FREE JUNQUE”!  I have an (unhealthy my husband would probably say) obsession with things people throw away.  For as long as I can remember, I have loved “making things”. And if I make […]

Bathroom Vanity Turned Rolling Kitchen Island?   I admit, I can be a bit vain from time to time.  I am not one to spend too much time in front of the mirror in the getting ready process.  Having twins cured me of this to the point where it is a matter of pride on how […]
