A little Americana from the junk pile. My son was cleaning up some stuff beside the garage today, so I had to check out what treasures he was unearthing. This piece of corrugated tin was just one of the treasures that had the wheels turning in my head. It was already the perfect size. No […]

Restyled Book Accents Ever wonder what to do with those old, outdated encyclopedias from the 70s? Restyle them into decorative book bundles to accent any room. My son just so happened to have a whole set of these in his room. I had no idea why. He had no idea why, but he said I […]
Flower Box Arbor Trellis I’m not the only one who shops my barn. One son was in the barn digging for something and he found this little gem. It was actually something my husband had made last year. I don’t think he liked it, so it ended up in the barn. Since the kid drug […]
Vanity to End Table You may remember this “vanity” from my birthday junking adventure. It’s actually one side of a vanity. The other side of the vanity, the table across the center and the mirror…, well, they just weren’t there. That didn’t stop me from seeing the potential in the one side that I had […]
Screen Door Potting Bench I actually made this potting bench a few years ago. At the time I really loved it, but it always seemed too big for the enclosed porch where I had it. I finally decided it was time to restyle and sell it. I removed the chicken wire screen from the back […]

Spruced up table and chairs. Spruced up patio couch. This is what I started with. I was going to fib and say I had JUST picked this table and chairs up at a yard sale, but I figured my real life friends would out me. Yep, I’ve had these puppies (in this condition) for several […]
Restyled Patio Coffee Table A friend asked me to give her patio coffee table a new look. She was nice enough to wait until after my son’s graduation, but since she has an event coming up this week I needed to finally get it done for her. The coffee table I started with was actually […]
Restyled Banana Republic Displays I bought several of these “racks?” a little over a year ago at a yard sale. The lady selling them told me they were old displays from a Banana Republic store. I have no idea what they displayed on them, but she sold them to me dirt cheap, so I couldn’t […]
