Restyles on Garage sale finds and more...

I'm sure you've gathered that I love the 'farmhouse' style or new country look (NO dusty rose please). Below are a few found items that I have restyled...sorry no before pictures, I'll try to remember next time!




This is a cupboard door that works perfectly for Graffiti Lettering...no painting or cutting required prior to adding the words (and the back already has holes for hanging from the hinges).

This one had no hole from a handle, however if it did we could add pegs of hooks along the bottom to cover it!



Old Doors are probably me favorite project right now, especially when they have keyhole locks!

I painted the solid wood door and antiqued it (using glaze). Rob, from The Tin Shoppe cuts all sorts of metal for me. Old things are always weird sizes and he is able to cut basiclly anything for me. For this project I used a paintable metal, paint does not scratch off, and a couple coats of chalkboard paint. Attached using PLpremium..voila!

Magnetic Chalkboard



Solid wood cupboard door!
I just chalkboard painted the inside, sanded the edges, and added some lettering and swirl.


My Grandmothers antique dresser got a makeover (yes I still need to add some handles back on)



It is now painted and glazed, along with a chocolate brown and burnt orange Graffiti flourish.



Time Out chairs always come in handy.









A Canada Day project (nothing redone..just a fun project)



My friend found me this wood night table at a garage sale ($5). I just painted it, sanded the edges and gave it a new knob...perfect for my daughter!

Are you into restyling? What was the project you were most happy with?

New Logo For Family Farm:

The First weekend of October (weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving) we are planning an "Occasional Sale" to be held in this Barn and farmyard (see below). This barn was built by my husbands Grandfather and his brother many a year ago an is such a great place to snoop around an be inspired for "farmhouse" decor and antiques.

What is an Occasional Sale?
"A Flea Market type sale that occurs infrequenly, say...twice a year. The host hand-picks the vendors and typically features one style of collectables" ~ Flea Market Stye magazine aka my most favorite magazine

**we are looking for vendors! If you are interested please email us with some pictures of your products.
