Restyled Sundays #58

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Well, I disappeared once again. But, this time we actually got our daughter moved

into her house. I have spent the last three weeks painting and lining shelves to get her

ready to move in. There is still alot to do, but at least she is in and I am able to spend

some time at home and get my house back together. I sure did love having her here,

but I am sure we are both glad to have our own spaces again.

Last time I posted, we had been trying to survive snowmageddon. Well, today we

are getting nailed with snow again. We are supposed to get 9-10" overnight tonite.

Maybe I can get some projects finished while I am stuck in the house.

Even though it's been a couple of weeks since the last party, I still want to thank everyone for

sharing. I am still going to share my favorite projects.

I'm really impressed with this Message Center that

Denise..On A Whim created from an old crate lid.

I had never heard the term cerusing until I

saw this nightstand by Barb of Turtles and Tales. Awesome!

I have a thing about birds lately, so I really love this sign by

Pam from Adventures in Home Improvement

I would sure love to see what you all have been up to. Decorating,

sewing, painting and anything fun or creative.

And, hopefully I will be back to creating a little this week.

Restyled Sundays #52

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Well it's been a week since I have done anything. I have had the flu, yuk! I am actually feeling somewaht better, but really have no energy. I am forcing myself to get up and get something done. If I am gonna feel lousy, I might as well feel lousy while I am doing something.

I had some great projects I finished before I got sick, but I just haven't had the drive to write anything up. 

I promise I will share them in the next few days, but for now I want to thank those of you

who shared last week. 

Check out this amazing red buffet makeover by 

The Junk in Our Trunks

If the outside wasn't cool enough, 

she added some really cool stencils to the inside to

make it a truly wow piece!

Lynda, from  Something Created Everyday

shared some great thrifting finds. You can never go wrong 

with Pyrex bowls!

Paul from One Creative Couple put two old

doors together and turned them into a corner

art gallery. Brilliant!

And Cathy, his wife, created this cool idea board

for her daughters new bedroom redo.

They truly are One Creative Couple

Thanks guys for sharing again. Now let's see if your week 

has been more productive than mine!

Restyled Sundays #23 (A Day Late, Not a Dollar Short)

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays

I am sorry I am running so late today, I had planned on getting this party started this morning and got so busy making birthday gifts for my grandson Charlton, I was almost late to his party.   We just got home and turned on the Superbowl and I finally have a minute to sit down and breathe!

Ok, I tried to post this last night throughout the first half of the Superbowl, but my computer would not
cooperate. After running three spyware scans and a virus scan, it is finally a go this morning!
Sometimes computers can be so exasperating!

Well, first of all I want to show you a great thrifting find I have had for a while, but my sweet hubby finally mounted it on the bathroom wall. It was so heavy he had to get some extra strong mounting hardware.

 This is my guest bathroom off  of the kitchen-hearth room.  It is pretty boring and actually on my list of rooms to remodel this year. Well, not actually remodel, just redecorate.  And, I could sure use some ideas.

Some boring builders beige walls and not much else. But I love my new ironwork!

Now lets see what you guys showed us this week!

I love this lunchbox makeover, now a jewelry making toolbox by

Janet at Janet of All Trades

Rachel at Re-Purposed Restorations completed an amazing vanity makeover

and she is a fairly new blogger. I am sure she would love to have you check

out her blog.

Barbara at 21 Rosemary Lane made an adorable but rustic

Valentine Garland. Looks simple, check out her tutorial!

Mariaelena at Cottage Living From Beach to Burbs shared her kitchen

makeover. I am really wishing I had white cabinets. Go see the before at her blog.

Laura from Top this Top That struggled with a bookshelf makeover.

I think she came out on top, and I love the styling!

Sarah at Dumped and Discovered restyled this $5 desk into a

stunning makeover. All I can say is wow, I better start going to auctions!

Thanks so much for everyone joining in!

Let's see what you have to share this week, and so sorry I am late!

Small Cabinet Makeover

Yeah!!, I actually have a before picture, even though it is really a in progress picture.

This door on this cabinet was starting to split, so I used some wood glue and had to tie it together,

 because my clamps wouldn't fit without taking the door apart. My husband would have

 taken the door off, but I like to go with the quicker not so professional looking technique. :)

Hey, it worked!

And here is the after!

I painted the cabinet Old White (ASCP) and the insets in

the drawer and doors in Paris Grey.

I added a little Paris Grey over the white on the trim and

used a small brush to add grey in the border.

Finally, I dry brushed some of the Old White over the Paris Grey.

I think it turned out really cute and someone else liked it really well,

because it didn't last long at the Sentimental Journey Antique Mall.

A Sweet Pink Vanity

A few months ago I bought this adorable desk/ vanity from another dealer who was clearancing it out.  It almost seemed a sin to paint over this beautiful maple, but it had so much potential if I did.

The two features I fell in love with on this piece, were the knobs and the twisted trim.

 It always amazes me how much a few little details can really make a piece.

So, here is the finished product. I wanted the palest pink I could find, and yet I already had

so many pinks that I hated to go buy another one. With enough white paint

added in I was able to mix my own and come up with the perfect shade.

Some mild distressing to give it that vintage look.

I really love the style of the mirror.

How perfect would this look in a girls room?

If you live in Kansas City, check it out at Lone Elm Antique Mall in Olathe.

Recycled Vintage Spoon Rests

You know those wooden spoon rests that seem to be at every garage sale. I used to love them with all of the little collectors spoons when I was a kid, but obviously they are no longer in style for that use. I am sure I have seen these as jewelry holders on some one's blog, but I can't remember where. I  had at least four of them in my stash and recently redid these two. They are now bright and fun, and I think they would look adorable in a teens room with all of their fun necklaces and bracelets hanging on them.

A coat of bright green paint and some vinyl add ons from my daughter's Cricut.

I love this saying, Keep Calm and Sparkle On. My daughter came up with that one.

The next two are probably going to be a little more Shabby Chic.

Don't forget the party is still going on here.

I would love for you to join in!

Shabby Chic Rocking Chair

I found this sweet little rocking chair at the antique mall when one of the dealers was clearing out her stuff. She originally had it marked at $15 and when everything was at 50% off I couldn't resist.

I just fell in love with this carved back. It is just so feminine.

After a couple of coats of Krylon's Ballerina Slipper spray paint she is fit for a princess.

I just happened to have this soft paisley fabric to cover the seat.

A closer look at the back.  I hope someone likes her as much as I do.
