A tiny bit of recycled denim and a whole lot of staples restyled this pitiful cube footstool into a western denim accent. This little cube footstool was a junk find a few years ago. It was dirty, the cover and bottom dust cover were both torn and it was missing a foot. I got it […]

Oh the things my husband gifts me with…should I be offended? Nope! Not me! These kind of presents get my restyling DIY imagination going. He picked it up at a yard sale. It was pretty filthy, but it had great bones for a DIY bench makeover. Even the hinges on the lid were in pretty […]

Kids’ Table & Chairs {3 R’s: Reconstructed, Reimagined, Restyled}
This is the kind of project that starts with huge doubts, but I end up in love with the finished product. A friend was packing up and cleaning out her mother’s house after she relocated and asked if I would be interested in any of the things they were getting rid of. Honestly, I think […]

Restyled Rocking Horse
Whew! Christmas is over. It’s been several months of constantly crafting for shows, gifts and articles. Not to mention planning for the next show, attending shows, Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, preparing for Christmas day and dinner. It seems kinda strange to wake up the day after and not have a huge list to tackle […]

Kids’ Western Table and Chairs Restyle
This cute little set would be perfect in a child’s room, but would also blend well in other living areas of your home. It didn’t start out that way though… This was a junk find I picked up this summer. The surface looked like a child had scribbled just about everywhere with markers. I’m thinking […]

I acquired these two gems in two different places, but they just seemed to go together. The table was an auction find. I’m not sure what the finish of this table looked like when it was new because it had already gone through a makeover of sorts. I am sure it was painted by a […]

DIY Shabby Chic Desk Transformation
This desk was pretty rough, but I have definitely restyled worse. I am pretty sure the man at the yard sale thought I was nuts. He couldn’t imagine it was salvageable so he sold it to me for a dollar. Yep, one dollar. One of the drawers needed to be put back together, it was […]
DIY Shabby Chic Trunk Lid Coffee Table I love, love, love the way this turned out! Yep, if you read my previous post you have already seen this photo. That was a collection post of various projects I had made for an upcoming craft show. Now that the show is over I have time to […]
All of my furniture restyles are junk finds I have found at yard sales, auctions and thrift stores, maybe even a few hand-me-downs from family and friends. Many of them need repairs, tweaks or complete transformations. Regardless of their initial state, my favorite way to breathe new life into them is with paint. For the […]

Skinny Side Table-Western Style
Skinny Side Table-Western Style Since my friend passed away my husband has helped to fill the void by doing things with me that she would have done…like looking for bargains. I appreciate his thoughtfulness so much. He went with me to some yard sales a few weeks ago and we came across this little gem. […]
