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.

Restyled Sundays #15

Welcome back to Restyled Sundays

I want to share my favorite links from last week.

Becky from Generation to Generation created some beautiful Christmas ornaments

 from love letters that she had purchased at an auction.

Visit her blog to read about the beautiful stories behind the decorations.

And check out this cute vegetable storage bin that The Joyful Thrifter

found for $3 at a garage sale. I have always loved these bins!

I would love to see anything you are working on this week as well as

any of your great vintage finds.  How are your Christmas decorations coming.

If you have repurposed anything this week in your decorating, be sure to share.

A Short Dresser With Chunky Legs And A Reminder

When will I learn to take before pics consistently?

This started out as a very dark, overly varnished low dresser.

I gave it two coats of ASCP and distressed it lightly,

 thengave it a coat of clear Minwax.

 The knobs are the turquoise ones left from the buffet that sold last week.

Yes, there is a missing knob, the screw would not grab the back

 of the knob, so I had to get a longer screw.

This is our new booth at Sentimental Journey and

we have it all decked out for Christmas.

A fun display of Christmas Trees.

I wish I could say that the big white tree was vintage, but

it actually came from Walmart. But I am always on the

lookout for an older white tree. Or, maybe one of those silver ones with

the rotating color light projector. We had one of those when I was little.

Also, don't forget that the Restyled Sundays Linky Party

is still going on through Friday, be sure to join in.

I love seeing all of your thrifty finds and projects.

I am linking up to the following parties:

Good Time Charlie from Redoux redid this cute dresser in the cutest French Maid style.

Staying with the black and white theme, check out the before and after on this adorable chair from

Strawberries and Sweet Love.

And as cute as these two projects are I am loving black and white even more.

For the thrifter in me, I fell in love with this hat that Chelsea from

Kiss My Brass found at an estate sale.

Thanks so much to all of you who joined in.

I can't wait to see what you have to share this week!

I would really love it if you would link back by adding my

Restyled Sunday's button to your post.

My Favorite Makeover Ever!

This is my favorite furniture makeover ever.

I found this very old oak buffet at a church garage sale this summer.

I only paid $25 for it since they were getting ready to close and willing to bargain.

Have you ever seen such beautiful trim work before?

Other than the brass handles and a major need for glue, she was beautiful to start with.

It took alot of glue and clamping to secure some loose joints, and then the ASCP

in Paris Grey. I did some moderate distressing to bring out her highlights, and ended up with this.

Sorry these pics aren't great, but I took her to the antique store on Sunday and forgot my

camera. I had found some great light turquoise knobs that looked very antique, but I had not found handles that I thought looked good with them. So, I had taken it down anyway, because I had help that day to carry it. ( I can't believe how heavy oak furniture is.) I was going to look for handles on my lunch hour when the antique store called and wanted to know how much I wanted for it.  I had not even priced it, since I did not have the handles.  They said the lady wanted it as is. So I ran out and took pictures with my phone. When she picked it up,  she left the knobs I had chosen and said she was going a different direction.

I could totally see crystal knobs on this buffet, but couldn't find enough of them at HL when I was there.

So there you have it, my favorite piece ever. Now I will spend the rest of my days searching Craigslist for another one. You never know when a new favorite will come along.

Don't forget to link up your makeovers or thrifty finds on Restyled Sundays, still going on until midnight Friday, there is a holiday giveaway going on this week.

and

Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!
