Restyled Sundays #38

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Ok, so it is really Monday, and I thought about not having a  party this week. But my brain said
go ahead, so I did. I can't tell you how tired I am from packing and sorting out stuff from the office.
We have 9 more days to be out of there, but so much left to get through. My brother is coming
from California next weekend to help my folks get out of their house, why does so much have to happen at once. I just can't wait until June 12th, since all of our moving deadlines will be over. 

 Anyway, enough of my sob story, let's get on to your stories.
The party was rather small last week, I know everyone is busy with Mother's Day
and Graduations. So, I really thank each of you that participated.

Barb from Turtles and Tails shared this great tutorial on
transferring  a design with freezer paper.

Melissa from Shabby Love added some transfers to
old picnic baskets for a truly Shabby Chic look.

And, Shabby Gals adorned this sweet little chair
with an owl. I guess I am all about transfers this week.

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

Restyled Sundays #37

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Once again we have had a busy week. My mom and dad got a contract on their
house yesterday so now we only have one month to get everything out. I doubt if we will have
time to have an estate sale since we have to hae all of our dental eqiupment out of our old space by May 31st. We ave been trying to find a place to donate our equipment to, with no luck yet. I f you know of a charity that would like dental equipment, please let me know.

Now let's see what you have been sharing this weeek.


Kathe from Kath with an e found this adourable mexican couple
and used them to adorn her Cinco De Mayo tablesccape.

Angie with Knick of Time Interiors add a chalkboard element
to this old tool box and framed it in vintage tape measures.
I would sure love to have this one.


Miranda from Pressing On shared how to creaate some
homemade chalk paint and make the table legs appear dipped.
her ladder bookshelf. I love the bird shelf!

Finally, Chelsea from Kiss My Brass found Pyrex Madness
while thrifting recently. She sells her goods on ebay, so check her  out if
you are look for some good pieces.

Restyled Sundays #36


Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Once again it has been a really busy week, but at least I feel like we are beginning to get a grip on life.
I am starting to find my way around the new office and feel somewhat at home. I haven't done much yet to move out of the old office, but today I am going to spend the day there and pack and sort.
I spent the day at my mom's new house yesterday and hung her pictures. There is still alot to do,
but she is starting to get organized as well.  I was actually able to post once this week, if you didn't see my redo of a Duncan Phyfe table, be sure to check it out here.

Now, let's see what you all shared this week.
We had a really great party, thanks to everyone who joined in.
My favorites are:
I love this super functional kitchen island made from a pallet.
Check out Becky's transformation at Beyond The Picket Fence.
Stephanie from The Cozy Old Farmhouse took a set of Ikea
cannisters and made them look old with faux galvanized metal lids.
They turned out awesome!

JoAnn at life at 2810 shared the most interesting find.
No one seems to know what it was, but she turned it into a photo holder.
Be sure to check it out.
And finally, Cyndi from Blue Star Antiques share this updated foot
stool that she recovered with a stenciled piece of canvas.

Now, lets see what you have this week...

Another New Life For Duncan Phyfe

I'm not sure why I love Duncan Phyfe tables so much, maybe it's the name, or maybe it's the legs.
I think it's the legs. Anyway, your sure do see alot of them around.  The last one I redid here,
I went with black. This time I used ASCP in Old White.
I love the off white and the beautiful distressed and waxed finish.
This time I did not have chairs to paint, but I found some inlaid wood chairs that really work well.
They were on sale in another booth for $6.00 apiece. I love deals like that.

A little distressing here and there...

Check out those double legs.




I think she turned out beautiful, what do you think?

Restyled Sundays #35

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays

Whew, it has been another crazy week in our lives. I am beginning to wonder if things will
ever go back to our normal level of chaos.  We sold our dental practice last week and started working for the new owner this Thursday. If that was not enough, my parents moved Friday to a senior living apartment complex. So the month of May is going to be busy selling all of our dental and office equipment and all of the left over furniture from my parents house.  I have decided to hold an estate sale at their old ouse. I have never done one before so it should be interesting. If anyone has advice on hosting an estate sale, I would love to hear it.  I think I am most concerned about pricing appropriately.

Last week was a really small party, so I really appreciate those of you who did join in.
 Hopefully this week will get off to a better start since I am not a day late.

Now let's see my favorites from last week.


Susan from Uniquely Yours Or Mine shared this beautiful French Provencial
table and chairs in such a lovely shade of blue.


This beautiful armoire was an amazing find by Angie at
Slipcovered Grey. Can you believe she found it in this condition?


Gretchen from Vibrant Vintage created this beauty
from an old dresser. Check out the beautiful lining inside.


4 the love of WOOD showed us how to raise a table or chest
to get that height we want. I love adding the wheels.

Thanks again for sharing this week. Now lets see what else you have been up to!

Restyled Sundays #34

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays

Well once again, this party is late getting started. We have been out of town this weekend and just got back, so I wanted to get the party started even though it is late. We went to see my father-in-law who will be celebrating his 91st birthday tomorrow. He is truly amazing, still living on his own and very active.  He plays the saxaphone in a jazz band, and he plays every single day!

Let's see what you all shared last week.
I love the restyling of this pair of end tables by
this cute garden trellis from scratch.
The Joyful Thrifter always finds the greatest stuff.
I love these 70's crewel designs.

Again, thanks for sharing. I hope to see you all again this week.
