Restyled Sundays #66

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Sorry I have been MIA for the last month. I am really trying to get my life together, but when I get one thing accomplished, another one pops up. I finally got my parents storage unit emptied out from their move to senior living last year. Now we're sorting through it all and putting some of it in the antique booth. Between trying to send loads of stuff to Goodwill and trying to organize their apartment we have been very busy.

I think I shared that we were getting a new dog back in April. Sophie makes puppy #3 in our household and three dogs is at least three times as much work as two. We absolutely adore her, but keeping up with her energy level is not easy. I am walking her daily, so that seems to be helping, probably me as much as her! I'm losing weight, but she is still growing.

Then of course there is work, both our new business and housework! At the end of the day I fall into the couch and veg out for an hour before I go to bed.

I know it's been a while, but I still want to go back and feature my favorites from the last party!

I love this green farmhouse table and chairs from Veronica at Knott So Shaby, a great example of Emerald Green, pantones color of the year.

Check out this cool chevron bench. It's another creation from Kathy at Life On Lakeshore Drive. It's amazing what some chalk paint and new fabric can do for an old piece of furniture.

And last but not least, is this blue and white dresser makeover from Denise at Denise on A Whim...

Hopefully there are still some,of you out there. I really appreciate you hanging in there while I get my act together! Now let's party !!!

Restyled Sundays 65

Welcome back to Restyled Sundays!

Another week gone by! Between work and the antique stores, I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going. On top of all of that, my Mom and Dad rented a storeroom last year when they moved into senior living. Its time to get everything out of there since they aren't ever going to use any of it. I learned the art of being a pack rat from two of the best, so this process has me really looking at simplifying my life as soon as possible.

Well, enough about me, let's take. Look at last weeks party.

Barbara from Decorating with Barbara has a great tutorial on makin your own Mercury Glass.

Denise from Denise on a Whim created a cute chalkboard with shelf out of an old chair back.

Thanks to everyone for following and sharing. I love hearing from you all so please leave a comment and I will get back with you!

Restyled Sundays #64 and Happy Mother's Day

Sorry for the late post, I had it scheduled and it didn't post when it was supposed to.


Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I am looking forward to a nice quiet day

with my kids and my mother. We are keeping it simple with breakfast at IHOP.

I hope your's is relaxing and you get to enjoy the day.

Thanks so much for sharing last week. I have a few favorites and they are.....

Take a look at this beauty by Kyra at Chateau Revivals.

Sometimes the simplest makeovers give the best results.

Lisa at {creatinspire} updated a really boring

bench and turned it into this beauty.

This sweet little tote was spruced up by

Joy of a Vintage Green.

And finally, be sure to check out this and other pallet projects

by Lisa at MinettesMaze.

Thanks again everyone, and let's see what you've been up to this week.

Restyled Sundays #63

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Once again, I've been off track here and so consumed with life that I can't seem

to keep up with posting.  Sorry that I missed hosting the party last week, I am

trying to get my mom's storage unit empty and life has once again been

a little overwhelming.  We picked up our new dog and immediately fell in

love with her, but one of our other dogs is not so thrilled. We are going to

have to work on some group training to make this work. I'll share

more about the girls later.

Now let's visit with my favorites from two weeks ago.

Christine from Rustic and Refined took a very boring dresser

and turned it into this beautiful console table.

Lynda at Something Created Everyday picked up this

adorable nut chopper at an estate sale. It is just like the one

my grandmother had when I was growing up!

Lisa at {createinspire} turned a boring buffet into

this beauty with some teal paint and pretty knobs. Love it!

And finally, Jane at Minnesota Junker found a simple wooden

key and created this cool wall hanging.

I always love what you all have to share. Thanks for coming back and back!

Now let's see what you been up to the last 2 weeks.

Restyled Sundays #62

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

I am actually writing this early, which is really odd since I never do anything

early. But, sweet hubby and I are driving today from Olathe, Kansas to

Chattanooga, Tennesee to pick up another dog. My niece was looking

for a new home for this sweet girl.

She will be one year old next Thursday and they can no longer

keep her, so we can't say no to such a sweet face.

Sophie will be our third dog, maybe we are crazy, but we love them all.

I am just praying now that Lady and Ellie like her.

I'll share more pics when I get her home!

Now I want to thank each of you that joined in to the party last week.

And thanks to all of you who just come to read. I really love to read

your comments, so be sure to let me know what your up to.

Kathryn from The Junk In Our Trunks found this gorgeous buffet

at a garage sale for $25. I need to go junking with her!

Cyndi from Blue Star Antiques created this amazing

table with a houndstooth pattern.

Susan from Simply Stone Creek turned an

old worn out dresser into this beauty!

I really love how Denise...on a whim redid a pair of plain

old stools with a few colors of chalk paint

Thanks again for sharing your projects. Tell your friends where you party!

Now let's see what you've been up to this week.

Restyled Sundays #61

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, because I didn't until just now, but last week was

really week #60 and I labeled it #50. So now we are on the right track, and I am

officially a dummy! Probably more like ADD and I have to many things

running around in my head at once. Oh well, we are all good now.

We did not get to keep our warm weather long, but surely spring is a coming

since my flowers are all starting to shoot up little sprouts.

I really want to rework my garden this year. It would really help to have shade

loving plants in the shade and sun in the sun. My knock out roses only

bloom a little under the big birch trees. I'll try to get some pics soon.

Anyway, lets get on with the party. Thanks so much for all who joined

in last week. I love seeing what you have done.

I am in love with the beautiful finish on this

black armoire that Lisa from {createinspire} transformed..

It's truly a wow!

Talk about amazing! This girl transforms pianos into works

of art. From the junk in our trunks!

I love paper wreaths and Ashley from Ashley's Dandelion Wishes

added some color with different papers. Very springy!

Pam from Our Adventures In Home Improvement has an

amazing husband who made this cute bird house for her

from and old ice cream churn! What a guy!

Thanks to everyone again for joining in. I hope you have had a great week

and have lots to share this week.

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays #50

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

Another busy week, and I finally had a little time to work at the antique

store. It felt so good to be in their rearranging, but I have a lot of work

to do to make it as pretty as I would like.  The best part of the week

is the weather. It was actually 77 degrees yesterday and even though it

was a little windy, I could not wait to get out a shake my can of Krylon.

No, I am not leaving this red. But it will probably take a couple

of cans of spray paint to cover this.

Well now let's talk about what you all shared last week.

Denise on a whim created this adorable mail station

from an old shutter and a little help from her hubby. 

Lisa from Create Inspire Me turned an ugly dresser into

this sweet vintage find. Be sure to check out the before.

Cyndi from Blue Star Antiques gutted an old salvaged

radio and created this beautiful little display piece.

I seemed to be on a blue theme this week :)

It is my favorite color!

Now let's see what you have been up to this week.
