Have you ever felt when reading a book that you can’t put down, that it’s just so exciting that you can’t wait to get to the next chapter? That is exactly how we have felt for the last six months! At Bungalow 47, we’ve had many changes happening and we wanted to share with you the inside scoop, as we have many who have called and inquired, sent emails and messages, just wondering what the deal is! So here goes: Just to wander down memory lane a bit, Bungalow 47 started out as a unique retail store over 5 years ago! Located in the cute downtown of Williamston, Michigan, we offered vintage finds, fabulous gifts, home decor, and painted furniture upcycled with a chalk type […]
A Storage Cabinet – The Ultimate Makeover
Last year I shared that we had sold our house and downsized now that all of the kids were gone and married. We purchased a house that was built in 1956 from the original owners and in need of a lot of love. The last 12 months have been spent doing a major renovation, more projects then I was in the mood for, and the continual shift to try to fit all of our stuff efficiently (and stylishly) in the house.

The search was on. As […]
Warehouse Sale
Do you remember when you were a kid, the anticipation of Christmas morning? What would you find under the tree? Will they like your gift? Will you wake up to an ideallyic snow (none for me in Southern California)? Well it’s just about Christmas morning at Bungalow 47 again! Our Warehouse Sale is coming next weekend, Friday and Saturday May 10-11. It’s our occasional sale where you will find ah-mazing things to paint and finish yourself. I think I have mentioned before that we are somewhat hoarders (in the best kind of way, of course!). This sale first began because we were overflowing with finds that we had not painted yet. The great thing about the sale is that we only present merchandise no one […]
All Cracked Up
Miss Mustard Seed’s Crackle Medium. What fun! Let’s see what this baby can do… once again I gave this dresser a nice base coat of a pink color that I mixed up using chalk and clay paints. Then I mixed Miss Mustard Seed’s Crackle Medium and applied it to various spots on the dresser and around the mirror frame. I waited until the crackle felt tacky and then brushed on some of Miss Mustard Seed’s Ironstone as a top coat on the dresser. It blended with my custom pink perfectly and when the cracks started showing up – WOW!! It is aged to perfection. Can you see the faint hints of the pink? It looks as if it’s been there for years. I finished this […]
