Restyled Sundays #69

Welcome Back To Restyled Sundays!

Another week, another move. My oldest son and his family have somehow gotten into the business of house rehab. They buy a house in need of updating and live in it 2-3 years while fixing it up, then sell it for a big profit. They just sold their second rehab project and their goal is to pay cash for a house in a few years. Well, this time they sold their house and couldn't find another one to buy in time so yesterday they moved into a farmhouse rental. I thought for sure they would buy it after a few months, but after I saw it I changed my mind. It was in bad shape, floors leaning,etc. I wasn't smart enough to take any pics, but I will take some soon and show you how they fix it up over the next few months. My mom and dad are moving in 3 weeks, so I'll be helping them get packed and ready.

I really enjoyed your posts this week. I love seeing what everyone has been up to.

Mary from Create Inspire took an old vanity and turned it into a little girls dream!

Cindy from ::Cottage Instincts:: turned and old waterfall dresser into a masterpiece with a two toned paint job!

And finally,Julia from Happy House and Home, created this simply elegant pillow with some burlap and stencils.

Now, lets see what you've been up to this week! Be sure to add a link back to the party and visit the posts on either side of yours.

Restyled Sundays #68

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. We watched fireworks after dark, but spent most of the day working on projects around the house. I seem to always have multiple projects that are half finished, and I am committing to finishing those before I start anything new. Hopefully as I get them finished, I have something to share with you.

I love all of the great finds from The Vintage Green but this fabulous Flow Blue bowl was to die for!

This green beauty with its sweet little birds was refreshed by Cyndi at ::Cottage Instincts::

This beautiful desk was created by Cyndi at Blue Star Antiques, be sure to read about her waxing mistake.

I love seeing all of your posts! And I love your comments. Thanks for dropping by!

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

Welcome Back to Restyled Sundays!

 

 

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Whew! I almost missed that it was Sunday again. The days seem to run together.

Thanks to everyone who shared at the party last week.

 

Cyndi at Cottage Instincts did a fabulous job redoing

an old veneered waterfall sideboard. I really loved the wallpaper on

the sides and draws. I redid a similar one here in 2011.

Wow, how time flies!

 

I also really liked this chicken wire memo board by

Denise on a Whim It looks so fun, love the color and the stripe.

 

And, its always fun to have something fresh for the garden.

This adorable bucket was created by Dawn at

Lily Pink Scraps

 

Thanks everyone and I hope you are getting ready for a great

4th of July week!

 

The Wedding Dresser

My daughter-in-law texted me one day (her primary method of communication) and asked if I had a vintage table of some kind. Her younger sister was getting married and having a vintage wedding. They were having the wedding outdoors (in early May) and needed someplace for the minister to set the Bible.

I didn't have any old tables, but I had this lovely old dresser. With its pretty pink glass knobs, it was perfect. They loved it, but wanted it to be off white. So, I tried some home made chalk paint. I had not used the unsanded grout recipe before and decided to go with it. It worked great, but I didn't like how it set up like plaster, mix a new batch with each coat. I would love to hear the solution to that.

Well, it snowed here and the ground was a mess, so the wedding had to be moved indoors. There ended up not being enough room for the dresser since space was so tight, but her parents ended up buying it for her as a keepsake from her wedding. I love seeing young people who love vintage pieces as much as I do. Sorry for the poor quality picture, but the weather was not cooperating to get it outside in the daylight!

I also made a blanket and Bumbo cover for the flower girls. Since my granddaughter still needs a little help sitting up and her cousin set behind her.

My darling grandson was the ring bearer, dressed like a little newsboy. And my daughter in law was a bridesmaid. It was truly a vintage wedding in an old converted barn. Really cool place!

As you can see in the background, they were feeding the cake to each other, while I was taking pictures of my kids, whoops.
