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!

Welcome Back to Restyled Sunday's

Thanks so much for the four of you who shared last week.

 I know it had been a while since I had a party, but I really appreciate your patience.

I definitely want to feature all four of you for posting last week.

Pam from Our Adventures in Home Improvement and 

her husband redid their basement and he refinished this 

antique scale. Amazing transformation.

Shanna from Restoration Redoux shared her top ten 

projects from 2012. Be sure to check them all out.

Paul from One Creative Couple, took and ugly old chair

and created this masterpiece. All I can say is Wow!

Finally, Helen from Shades of Safhire shared her 

digital scrapbooking pages. So creative Helen!

 Sunday is here again and I can't wait to see what you've been up to.

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays

A little late, but I am finally getting this party started. It has been a busy Easter weekend.

We are so blessed to have our Risen Lord.

Last week we had some great links. Here are a few of my favorites.

Once again, Angie at Knick of Time Interiors does her magic by making

something special out of some old salvage.

JoAnn from Life at 2810 saved this table from Sharpy Heaven

with a coat of red paint, and she got paid to do it!

Cyndi at Blue Star Antiques tried her hand at transfering

and image and it turned out great.

The Joyful Thrifter found a fabulous estate sale with

some fabulous prices. I love this little milkglass bowl.

Thanks so much for sharing, now let's see what you've got this week.

Book Page Bulletin Board

One thing I always have plenty of in my stash is old pictures from garage sales.

Who knows when you will need a frame for something.

So, I decided to use one of these to make a bulletin board.

I actually made this one back about Halloween when I was

going Mod Podge crazy with book page pumpkins.

I cut up small pieces of dictionary pages and overlapped them

while gluing them on the frame with Mod Podge. 

I love doing this kind of stuff while I am watching TV with my

hubby at night.  He hates it if I go to the basement to paint furniture, so

these smaller projects keep us together.:)

Happy Hubby, Happy (something that rhymes with that) 

I then cut down a cork board that I had bought at another garage sale and wallah!

Another fun project to sell at the antique mall.

Thanks for visiting and be sure to add your projects at

Restyled Sundays, still going on until Friday at midnight.

Restyled Sundays #17

After two weeks of being missing in blogland, I am coming back to the computer again! I hate to be a Scrooge, but I am truly glad this Christmas is over. don't get me wrong, the last two days have been delightful, but getting there was not pretty. I got so far behind this year, that I didn't buy but one or two gifts before Thursday. I have always been a last minute shopper, and this year was no different. But, I am different! I am getting old (57 years old) and I just can't shop like I used to. Ha! The joke was on me!
I had been so busy with keeping the booths at the antique mall stocked for Christmas that I almost didn't get my home decorated. In fact, I only got a few things out :(  It was really kinda nice to have a little less out, I think it is time to weed out some of the not so essential decorations.

I just want to share my favorites from two weeks ago, sorry that I missed last week....

First is these adorable sheet music ornaments from Barb at Turtles and Tails

What a cool way to restore a dresser with missing drawers.

Good Time Charlie at Redoux turned the top into a bookshelf!

And last but not least, for some great ideas for old rusty springs,

check out Angie at Knick of Time

I know you have all been swamped like I was for Christmas but I would love to see if any one got any great vintage gifts. I will share mine tomorrow. Be sure to come back for more.

Restyled Sundays #16

Welcome Back for Restyled Sundays. The weeks just seem to get busier and busier as we get closer to Christmas. We had family visiting from California and Oklahoma this weekend and it was so good to see them.  It's amazing how fast their kids are growing. So much fun, but I am exhausted, and really behind on blogging. Both posting and reading. I have a lot to catch up on this week.  With only 13 days left till Christmas, I probably will remain behind until the holidays are over.  I am already looking forward to January and the chance to get reorganized and caught up on things. Is anyone else out there ready for it to be over?
I don't mean to sound like Scrooge, but I have too much to do and too little time, as I am sure many of you do also.

Well, enough whining, let's get on to last  weeks links.

I love this pallet tree on Mrs. Aussies front porch.

Check out her blog Our Little Nest on the Lake

This outdoor rug makeover by Jenni at

Who Makes Up This Craft turned out really cute.

Especially since it was done for me!

Katie at Decorate My Life My this adorable wreath.

This girl is not afraid of color, check out her blog!

Becky at From Generation to Generation made this cute purse

from a rag rug. I wanna know where she finds such cute rag rugs.

Great Job Ladies!!!

Now, let's see what you've got this week.
