For this project I kinda veered away from my vow of not accumulating anything new until I used up some of the things I already had, but…I was gifted with a bag of fabric from a friend that I just couldn’t say no to. I mean, come on, it was free fabric! I made one […]

Rustic Signs for the Guys
Purging my over abundance of stuff has me looking at things with a critical eye. While moving one son asked me what I was going to do with some of the weathered boards that were split and broken. Well, to most people these scraps probably should have never been saved, but the rustic, natural, oldness […]
I finally did it! Restyled Junk now has a Facebook page. I still need to get an official Facebook button on my blog, but in the meantime here is the link if you would like to take a look…and maybe like it. 😉 https://www.facebook.com/RestyledJunk The process reminds me of a favorite quote from the movie […]
Upcycled Ladder This huge ladder almost didn’t make the move from the old house to this one. Finding a place to store it until I got around to restyling it was a big consideration. Ultimately I couldn’t stand leaving it behind and I am so glad I didn’t. These ladders were finished in an afternoon. […]
More sewing with scraps. These cute little Scotties were made using my abundant stash of chenille bedspread scraps. They were the perfect project for those chenille scraps I just couldn’t throw away after finishing something else. Why Scotties? Well, I love anything vintage and I’ve been seeing a resurgence of them a lot lately. So […]
Another project completed! My drawer of felted wool sweater pieces was calling to me for inspiration. Seriously! I mean there is just so much organizing and unpacking I can do before I gotta be creative. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to make until I began sorting through some old applique patterns. I […]

Shabby Chairs and Chair Rugs
I guess you could call this shopping in the barn, but I no longer have my barns. 🙁 Somehow “shopping in the storage unit” just doesn’t have the right ring to it. 🙂 Yep, these three chairs were stored in the barn before we moved. The only place to move them was to a storage […]

Blast From The Past: Crocheted Chick Tutorial
Crocheted Chicks Since I’ve been busy with the move, unpacking and trying to catch up, I decided a little blast from Easter past was in order. I first posted about my free crocheted chick tutorial last year. You can find the original post here. Enjoy!
As I mentioned before, the home I am living in now is small. Figuring out how to organize and decorate is a challenge, but I am determined to make it work and give it my personality. First up…the bathroom. Yep, there is only one in this house. Making that work with four people isn’t the […]
I moved!!! Those two words have a million more surrounding them, but I will try to summarize. We received an offer on our house the week before Christmas. Yes, apparently houses DO sell in the winter. The buyers were getting an FHA loan, which required a bunch of picky fixes to the property for the […]
