As my husband so lovingly states: “No more curtains; we only have so many windows!” Or, “No more lamps; if I SEE another lamp…” In my spare time (also known as when you can't catch me in a thrift store, or hauling furniture off someone’s curb), I enjoy volunteering at the Mooresville ReStore, eating Mexican food, and bingewatching Netflix.

I love taking the old, ugly, and unwanted stuff and turning them into something amazing and desired. I have been so blessed to be a participant for the past three events.

I am the creative one. I love to paint, restore, find a new purpose for just about anything. Denis is the braun. I have found that if you incorporate the past, whether it be from 100 years ago or 100 days ago, into your design style, you preserve it and give it new life.

<p dir="ltr">So, I set out on a mission to figure out something crafty to do with them since I really didn't have the need nor the fixture for a 1000 watt light bulb....</p>
<p dir="ltr">I always thought that the painted light bulb ornaments people make that I have see at craft fair and festivals are adorable so I thought I would build on that to create something cute and crafty.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These snowmen are extremely easy to create and assemble. The possibilities of textures and finishes are also endless, so I picked my top 4 and will list the materials and steps for each finish.</p><p dir="ltr"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbSL3WKWM_wReXuSwIYNAQLe8AU2DE8Yi6I6hkSzSrSE3LSntIvw_JDhZLGVuEsKwETy4oqQiC12EUEUkGOzfxXTX0sgIsoeNSN3HB6i93dCERLRdPJgu4FXxC9fBPnizsiIimIQQxvRN/s1600/20141018_023026_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbSL3WKWM_wReXuSwIYNAQLe8AU2DE8Yi6I6hkSzSrSE3LSntIvw_JDhZLGVuEsKwETy4oqQiC12EUEUkGOzfxXTX0sgIsoeNSN3HB6i93dCERLRdPJgu4FXxC9fBPnizsiIimIQQxvRN/s640/20141018_023026_HDR.jpg"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Basic materials needed:</b><br>
Light bulb<br>
Styrofoam or other base material<br>
Paint<br>
Styrofoam sealer<br>
GLITTER!!! :)<br>
Black Felt or thick black paper for hat brims<br>
Glue and spray adhesive<br>
Felt for bottoms<br>
Either felt or ribbon or other matrial for scarves</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Step One:</b> <b>Get your bases and hat brims ready.</b> I am recycling basic Styrofoam that was used as packing for my printer as well as blue marine Styrofoam from the marina across the street from me that was heading to the dump. I cut the pieces to my desired size using a Styrofoam cutter I got at my local craft store until it broke and then I used a sharp steak knife. Next I cut out a hole in the center large enough for the base of the bulb to fit tightly inside. I found the easiest technique for that was positioning the cap from a can of spray paint on the block in my driveway and pushing it through with my foot and then used a wood skewer to poke through the bottom side and push cap back out of the foam. After you have your base cut, you will need to seal all surfaces with foam sealer (from craft store.) This will keep your foam from melting later when you apply glue or paint to it. Place foam aside and let dry. <br>
Prepare hat brims by cutting a "donut" shape with black felt or paper with the center hole large enough to<b> </b>slip over the metal screw in base of the bulb.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Step 2: Paint bulbs</b><br>
The type of paint is solely based on either whatever you have laying around or desired finish. </p>
<p dir="ltr"> •<b>For a iridescent or "Mercury Glass " finish</b> I simply used a "pearl finish" spray paint and did several thin layers until I achieved the desired effect. </p><p dir="ltr"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKYu_drURy60yeWdqUw4EIgk2-bE8rYhzjyRn1sVd_UEEcrIMlqJFT_W3WkcSlnzwsWn2da-PDaZtXKe1gwwdSxL20oFC-BVoiKTZom07TKvbo2m79naf7ruROtyO3XVQpm7fBfyjLnv7s/s1600/20141018_022856_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKYu_drURy60yeWdqUw4EIgk2-bE8rYhzjyRn1sVd_UEEcrIMlqJFT_W3WkcSlnzwsWn2da-PDaZtXKe1gwwdSxL20oFC-BVoiKTZom07TKvbo2m79naf7ruROtyO3XVQpm7fBfyjLnv7s/s640/20141018_022856_HDR.jpg"></a></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>
<p dir="ltr"> •<b>Opaque white finish or for a "fluffy" textured snow finish</b> you can use either white spray pain in several thin layer or an acrylic or latex paint.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> <i> (* Tip: If you will be painting with an acrylic or latex paint, stir in a bit of mod podge in with your paint to make it "stick" to the glass and less likely to scratch or peel off.)</i></p><p dir="ltr"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaYdWbZdusqBw_ziFb_CepcCEzVpcBS2xKZeR-EC7-KqliKqq6uXwU-rMCFCzsvmAkakstOHA-zpERNrZQspcmzPy2HlYNj9J7RnCfvpmxn8q9FAQ0iiiCehhCxsRCTsZrt5hE0lSKwYHe/s1600/20141018_022805_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaYdWbZdusqBw_ziFb_CepcCEzVpcBS2xKZeR-EC7-KqliKqq6uXwU-rMCFCzsvmAkakstOHA-zpERNrZQspcmzPy2HlYNj9J7RnCfvpmxn8q9FAQ0iiiCehhCxsRCTsZrt5hE0lSKwYHe/s640/20141018_022805_HDR.jpg"></a></p><p dir="ltr"> B. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSbIaSGHTM6bnUvP-MC1nQtbd5moR1pGFeueTypm9LA1Nlww-VDI3fY4WScQp6mNVSJRBdAubLkMZoMAl31VoW50jYt8h0ZaG5v8YC9WUCqkaRHMQZI38AA6ZTaPXKteqNpqBRaElJDvm/s1600/20141018_022719_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSbIaSGHTM6bnUvP-MC1nQtbd5moR1pGFeueTypm9LA1Nlww-VDI3fY4WScQp6mNVSJRBdAubLkMZoMAl31VoW50jYt8h0ZaG5v8YC9WUCqkaRHMQZI38AA6ZTaPXKteqNpqBRaElJDvm/s640/20141018_022719_HDR.jpg"></a></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p dir="ltr"><i>**The Styrofoam sealer dries fairly quick and I was able to use my bases to hold the bulb while the paint dried.</i></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Step 3: Final finish on Bulb</b><br>
<b>Glitter </b><b>glaze</b><b> </b><b>and</b><b> seal</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">☆<b>For iridescent and </b><b>Mercury</b><b> glass</b> as well as the <b>"</b><b>crystallized</b><b>" finishes:</b> simply applied a clear gloss glaze spray paint.</p>
<p dir="ltr">☆<b>For plain flat white,</b> I used a satin clear coat spray paint.</p>
<p dir="ltr">☆"<b>Fluffy" Textured</b>: I used glitter and "spray spackle" and "textured ceiling repair" (both from Restore) and sprayed bulb in light layers letting it dry before applying additional layers. A flat clear glaze spray paint can be used in light layers but not necessary. </p>
<p dir="ltr">♢ Paint the base (the metal screw in part) of the bulb black</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Step 4 Assemble bulbs and bases:</b><br>
You may use either hot glue or a foam safe glue as well as spray adhesive to attach the bulbs to the foam base. Once bulb is in place, begin applying your finish textures. Some different ideas are:<br>
☆spray glue and flakey glitter.<br>
☆spray spackle<br>
☆"snow" material </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Step 5 Final Finishes: </b><br>
▪Attach hat brims with a small drop of glue. Paint or glue faces and buttons on. (I used a black "puffy paint" sold in the fabric paint section of the craft store) Use tiny twigs for arms or brown floral wire or simply paint them on.<br>
▪I used recycled tiny plastic ornaments for one of those green ceramic Christmas trees for most of my noses by simply cutting off the stem and gluing to the face. <br>
▪Tie scarfs made from ribbon or yarn around their necks.<br>
*I also used a white gel pen on black construction paper to create the "Let it Snow" and "Merry Christmas" etc. signs and simply glued them in place.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Imagination is the key, use what you got laying around to make your snowman extra special and creative. <br><br></p>

<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><u><b><span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> WHAT YOU NEED: </span></span></b></u></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Cabinet door<br /> Spray paint<br /> Acrylic paint<br /> Foam brush <br /> Gel medium <br /> The picture you want to transfer<br /> Minwax furniture wax<br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><u><b>HOW TO: </b></u></span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>1)</b></span> Spray paint the door whatever color you want the base color to be. I used a grey blue color<br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>2)</b></span> Once the base coat is dry, spray paint the top coat, I used an off white<br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>3)</b></span> Once the top coat is dry rough up the edges to show the undercoat<br /> <br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>4)</b></span> Measure out your printed design to make sure it will fit. <span style="color: orange;"><b><u>NOTE:</u></b> </span>Make
sure you flip your image so once everything dryers it will be facing the
right direction. This can easily be done in Microsoft publisher. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>5)</b></span> Put down a layer of Gel medium wherever you would like the image to be with a foam brush. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>6)</b></span> Place the image Ink side down into the gel<br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>7)</b></span> Wait 24 hours until it is completely dry<br /> <br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>8)</b></span> Soak the paper in water and gently rub the paper off leaving the image.
<span style="color: orange;"><u><b>NOTE:</b></u></span> do not do this too hard as the ink will come off and rub your
image right off. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>9)</b></span> Once all the paper is gone and the door is
completely dry, mix your acrylic paint using the base coat and top coat
colors. For example since my base coat was a blue grey and my top coat
was white. I mixed 1 drop acrylic blue, one drop acrylic black, and
about 6-8 drops white. Mix this lightly together so that it is not all
one color but a tie-die effect. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>10)</b></span> Using the foam brush lightly
sweep the color all over the sign. You want it to look worn NOT
smothered in color. You may want to practice on another piece of paper
before attempting it on your sign. <br /> <br /> <span style="color: orange;"><b>11)</b></span> Once it’s all dry polish it lightly with Minwax furniture wax. This will protect the ink and keep it from fading. <br /> <br /> You’re done!

I thought I would take a minuet to teach you how to make a
bench using chairs. Laurie and I have made 2 of these in the past and they are unique
one of a kind pieces that will have your friends asking you were you got it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Key to this whole project is to make sure that your
chairs are ALL the same height. You can use 2 chairs or 3 or really as many as
you would like! Note that 2 or 3 chairs are your stranded with for a bench but
be creative and use your imagination.The chairs DO NOT have to be all the same style! As long as
the hight is all the same you are good!<br />

<b>NOTE</b> that you DO NOT have to pad or upholster the chairs if
you do not want to. This is your personal preference. Also you do not have to
align the chairs up diresctly side by side. Try aligning them from to front for
an even more unique look! And if you have any questions please feel free to ask
below. I will answer them as soon as I can. Also visit up on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pink-Punk-Design/147189165371860?ref=hl" target="_blank">Pink Punk Design</a>

table top leaving only the base. </div>

unscrewing the top and using some force to pry the top off. The reason for this
is because manufactures not only screw the table top onto the base but also
glue it. So some force will be necessary. </div>

<p dir="ltr">I instantly saw that this should have a farmhouse sink setting in it. Figuring that the rest of the design details would be revealed along the repurposing road, I loaded it up and took home. I then realized I needed to find a Farmhouse style sink. Which wasn't nearly as a difficult as I thought it was going to be because I found a beautiful cast iron sink for $20 on my return trip to Restore later that week. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After removing the guts of the record player and the light that was cleverly disguised as a drawer, removing the door hard ware, removed doors, and a few precision cuts, it was time for paint.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Adding a little water to a can of wall paint and using a brush, gave me the weathered color I was looking for (thanks to Pink Punk Design for the paint tutorial they posted earlier)<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">. I used silver leafing paint to color the hardware and knobs. I ran sheet metal ( found </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">at Restore) through an embosser machine for the side door panels.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">I delivered the vanity back to Restore in Mooresville Friday April 11 where it would be priced and sat on display to promote the blog and the upcoming Designer Challenge with a cool little "before and after" photo. But before I had the chance to bring the photo back to the store on Saturday 4/12, it had already been sold. I am just thankful that I had snapped a quick picture of it after unloading it from my car in the parking lot solely for the purpose of texting my mom. Otherwise I would not had have any after pictures at all. </p>

Hi, everyone! My name
is Laurie Hamilton and I am thrilled to be a new blogger for My [Re]claimed
Home. Just to fill you in a little about
me, I moved to North Carolina about 5 years ago from Chicago and haven’t looked
back! I love it here and the people here
are just the nicest you could meet. My
love for repurposing, redesigning, and reusing anything goes way back. A little
over a year ago my son and his family joined me here in beautiful Mooresville,
NC and my daughter-in-law Karen and I wasted no time jumping into any kind of
crafts and repurposing we could to decorate the house (you can see some of our work on our Facebook page, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pink-Punk-Design/147189165371860?ref=hl" target="_blank">Pink Punk Design</a>). I participated with Karen in the 2013 <a href="http://ourtownsrestore.org/restore-restyle-2014" target="_blank">ReStore ReStyle Design Challenge</a> and had a blast. One of the patrons of the
contest saw our work and hired us to decorate her entire house. It turned out
beautifully and gave us even more ideas.
I really enjoy the happiness it brings people to see that even on a
budget they can still has a beautiful and comfortable home. The smiles on their
faces make all the work totally worthwhile.</div>

I thought for my first blog I would show you a little
something I made for the kitchen to give it just a little “European” flair. I
was on my weekly roam through ReStore and noticed some burglar bars for windows
leaning against the wall. Perfect for – what else – a pot rack! <o:p></o:p></div>

To start this project you will first need some kind of rack that you can hang
things from. If you can’t locate the type I have shown, try thinking a little
out of the box. Maybe outside you may have an old wrought iron or metal garden trellis?
Those are easy to find at yard sales and thrift stores.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
Next, find the
studs in your ceiling. This is of utmost importance. It can be done quite
easily with a stud finder. There is nothing worse than having your gorgeous
project come crashing down in the middle of a dinner party. Here is what else you will need:<br />
<br />
- 4 big screw-in hooks that you will space into the studs to
coincide with the corners of the rack<br />
- mid-weight chain<br />
- 4 u-shaped bolts<br />
- some hooks to hang the pots.<br />
<br />
Now that you have your materials you are ready to get started. Simply screw
the four hooks into the ceiling, attach four lengths of chain to the corners of
the rack using the U-bolts, hang the other end of the chain from the ceiling
hooks, hang your pots and pans from the s-hooks and VIOLA! Pot rack! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
If for whatever reason it is not feasible for you to hang
the rack from the ceiling, you can also hang it vertically on the wall of the
kitchen. <o:p></o:p></div>

I hope this gave you some inspiration to jazz up your home
using items found at the ReStore. Check back often for more ideas to make our lives

<h3>
The best part is that I almost always see a Rubik's Cube on the toy aisle of Restore for no more than $ 2. Not to mention that you can also pick up a cooling rack or drying tray that you will need for this project while you are there for as little as $. 50 each. And I have been able to snag a good deal on photo paper on occasion. I really wouldn't be shocked if I found the resin needed on the craft aisle either. So stop by your local Restore and see how very inexpensive this project can be.</h3>

1. Remove the existing stickers from cube. There are many different ways to accomplish this from using goo-gone to mayonnaise. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
2. Choose your photos. Since this was a surprise, my mother-in-law pilfered pictures from our Facebook Albums. The quantity and size of pictures you will need depends on the amount of cubes. This one had 4 on each side and a total of 24 pictures were needed. A standard rubik's cube will have 9 cubes per side and a total of 54 pictures will be needed. I found this <a href="http://%20http//cropper.little-windows.com/">website</a> that offers a free template download for the 4 block cube and a they also offer a download for the 9 cube as well.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
3. Cut your pictures and lay out on doaming tray about an inch apart. (This <a href="http://%20http//www.little-windows.com/blogs/project-center/7836897-rubiks-photo-cube">site</a> actually provides a very detailed 2 part instructional video for this project as well)</div>

3. Mix your resin according to directions on label. Take time and read about avoiding bubbles and how to get the bubbles out of your mix.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
4. Spoon out about half a spoon full of resin and place the tip of the spoon over the center of the picture and let the resin run off. Once you have covered all the photos, get down to eye level and see if you need to add a few drops to any photos that are not perfectly covered.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
5. Place dust cover over your tray and wait 10 mins. After the 10 minutes have passed, remove the cover and check for bubbles that may have rose to the surface. Either use the spoon tip or a toothpick to carefully remove the bubbles without scooping away the resin.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
6. Replace dust cover and let dry for the amount of time listed on the resin instructions.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

7. Glue your photos to the blocks. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Hello Reclaimers! I am Karen Adams and a new blogger
for My [Re]claimed Home! I thought I would share a little about myself and then
go onto giving you some tips and tricks that you can use on your own projects. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">First things first, who am I. Well I started my
reclaiming, dumpster diving, garage sale picking, Restore shopping fetish about
10 years ago. I have always been blessed with a great artistic ability -being
able to paint, draw, sculpt and much more, however after high school and a
semester of college I wanted to do even more than the average artist. I wanted
to use my talent in a unique way but I wasn’t sure how. Unbeknownst to me the
answer was about to present itself in a very innocent way. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">My mother-in-law was having a garage sale and had a
tired old baker’s rack that she thought would sell if it just had a little coat
of paint. So I took on the challenge! I painted the rack and added some design
flair to it and before I knew it a light bulb went off. I wanted to do this! I
wanted to redo furniture, make it one of a kind and wow people. And of course
it didn’t stop there. I not only redo furniture but I also create new furniture
and items out of … for a lack of a better word… “Junk” <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I LOVE what I do with a passion! I take great pride
in my work and love to share my talents with the world. I teach people how to
get past their project dilemmas and how to look at items in a new light (I also
started <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pink-Punk-Design/147189165371860?ref=hl" target="_blank">Pink Punk Design</a> on Facebook with my Mother in-law, Laurie Hamilton, for
anyone who is interested in getting tips and tricks on a whole wide range of
topics)</span></h1>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Not just any paint but the up and rising popular
chalk paint! <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This
diverse eco-friendly paint is so easy to use! Add a little water to it to make
it smooth, thicken it up by leaving the lid off, and make it into a wash by
adding even more water. Use flat brushes for a smooth look or bristle brushes
for a more textured aged look. It is so simple and diverse! It covers most
surfaces with little to no priming at all. I encourage everyone who paints to
have this in their arsenal! <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h1>
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Now
you may be asking yourself, this is great but where do I get it? Well the more
popular brands such as Annie Sloan, CeCe Caldwell, American Paint co, FAT
paint, Maison Blanche, Van Gough, and Shabby Paint (just to name a few) are
great but they can cost anywhere from </span><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">$29.99 -

like you normally would! If you want it thicker, let it sit out a while. If you
want it as a wash, add more water, or just use it as it is after you mix it.
Also you may or may not need two coats. See how the first coat goes and use
your best judgment depending on what look you are going for. <o:p></o:p></span></h1>

My mother called me the other day after attending a meeting with the art guild she is a member of with a cute puzzle to see if you have an "artistic mind." The equation is:</h2>
<h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2+2= fish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3+3= eight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7+7= triangle</div>
</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
I got it.</span> If the answer isn't as clear for you, I will share at the end of this next Restyle story.<br />
<div dir="ltr">

This one did require the obsessive compulsive disorder or perfectionism that only my husband can add to any project. So where I may have been the brain power behind the concept and design behind the materials to be used, and after 3 days of thoroughly explaining to him exactly how a bed canopy, a wood door, 2 cabinet doors, 8 hardwood floor strips, and some granite tiles were going to come together, his craftsmanship is what made it come to life. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I wasn't exactly sure what they were until I got home later that day, all I knew was that I loved the detail of it and there was plenty of it to use in a project. It turned out to be the rails to turn a poster bed into a canopy bed. </div>

(turns out it wasn't that big of a challenge, it was on the first aisle among the vast selection of varieties of doors and was $40)</div>

And the granite tile was $2 a piece.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;">First we</span> figured out exactly where we would have to cut the door so that the hole of the door knob could be concealed. Then we laid out the rails and started work on rearranging them like a puzzle so that we could utilize their hardware and cut to keep the beautiful lines and pattern in tact.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;">After</span> that, it pretty much came together in a snap. We built the frame and attached the cut door with screws to the back. We placed the cabinet doors on the top and the bottom. We used a bit of scrap plywood to build up the top to make it level with the frame. Then cut the granite tiles for the top. The bottom was finished with hardwood floor planks.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once the grout</span> dried for the granite. We glued a bit of trim from the hardware store ($3) that we stained, to add detail around the tile and make it flow into the wood around it. (By the way, Restore did have that trim in stock as well, but unfortunately it was Sunday, they were closed and I was on a deadline)<br />

I did tell him that he finished it too well and I don't think people could tell that we made it until they looked very closely.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2+2= fish </b></div>
Think about the Christian fish symbol you see on car bumpers, now think about flipping the 2's on their side and flipping one to mirror the other and bring them together... it makes a fish!<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3+3=eight</b></div>
Now that you get where this is going I don't think 8 needs much more explaining.<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7+7= triangle</b></div>
Flip your 7's upside down and flip one to mirror the other, bring them together and you get a triangle shape.<br />

During a visit the other day with a neighbor, I sat down at her kitchen table and realized that it had been the table that I had made for the Restore Restyle Designer Challenge that she had bought the night of the event. Seeing it again and talking about how it came to be, I thought I should share that process.</h3>

Though I wasn't in love with the picture inside, I was in love with the frame and all of it's details and it's perfect square size. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I started by taping off the inside of the frame and spray painting with my favorite color of primer, silver metallic. I highly recommend using this as a primer for everything. It seems to coat evenly, concealing everything and adheres well to finished surfaces virtually eliminating the need for sanding. I also find that it makes your top coat a more truer color that is brighter and with a more multi-tone effect as a result of how the light reflects off the metallics. After allowing the primer to dry, I then painted my top coat and allowed to dry. Then sealed the frame to the picture with clear silicone caulking. I covered the picture part and painted the outside of the frame.</div>

<b>Next step</b> was cutting up the this cardboard of old Christmas gift boxes into my flower petals. I laid the petals out in a three circles, decreasing the size of the center with each ring. I sprayed each ring with spray adhesive, ensuring that each petal was fully coated and then used colored tissue paper that I had wrinkled up and placed it on the cardboard. I used red, yellow and orange tissue paper, placing the red and orange on first and then sprayed more adhesive and placed the yellow at the inner part of the ring to give the flower more dimension. With the tissue paper in placed, I stacked the layers on top of each other and I used yellow and orange and coral/red spray paint to lightly mist the flower to blend all the colors together of the paint and tissue.</div>

<b>For the legs</b>, I used 4 stair spindles nailed together I got from Restore ($2 each) for each leg and painted them black. I screwed the legs to the bottom of a small pallet I then nailed/glued the the picture down to it. For extra detail and to make the table appear more complete, I used 4 copper plumbing caps ($.50 each) and used a hole saw on the bottom of one of the 4 spindles for each leg and hammered the cap into the hole. </div>

<b>With the base of of the table</b> now complete, I glued/screwed the picture to the top of the pallet. I sealed any holes that were made with the silicone caulk.

Cushions: AKA the Mystery Hole<div dir="ltr">
We had recently bought a new couch, and upon removal of the old one, made the discovery of a life time. When the old couch was flipped up on it's side it made a very interesting noise. The distinct noise of random items falling through couch springs to the side that now laid on the ground. With a quick slit with a razor knife to the fabric on the bottom of the couch I found where all the missing pocket change, small toys, scissors, batteries, jewelry, crochet hooks, 6 pairs of tweezers (no lie) and many more tiny objects that had been lost over the past 5 years. How did they get there exactly? I inspected the couch seat itself and discovered that where the back of the couch met the seat was a very small crack that let these small items pass through to the Mystery Hole where they would be forever lost. Determined not to loose any more small treasures and necessities to this obscure menace that was also a feature found on the new couch in addition to the "crack of doom and loss" that apparently is equipped in all sectionals , I set out on a mission to resolve this as easily and cheaply as possible. And once again, thanks to Restore, the problem has been solved!<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I found these 1 inch in diameter 6 ft long foam pipe insulator sleeves at Restore for $.75 each. I simply took my cushions off the couch and wedged the insulators into the tiny trench of terror and crack of doom and loss and then put the cushions back on the couch. After extensive testing over the past 60 days, we have had zero lego or pocket change casualties to the couch monster. Problem solved for less than $2!!</div>

With only days left until Christmas, you may be in desperate need of a last minute gift or even a little bit of holiday decor in your own home. This happy little snowman is sure to leave a big impression on your guests and not your wallet.</h2>

I came across this peculiar thing at Restore a few months ago for $2.00. It laid down completely flat and took this form when you picked up the handle and has 2 spring doors on either side of the bottom part. Long story short, it was interesting and $2.00 so I brought it home. (I did find out later that it is some kind of fishing trap.) </h3>

Well, if you combine it with some boxes of ornaments I also got at Restore ranging in price from $1-$4 and a little Christmas magic (that would be 30 minutes of free time in my house) .... </span></h3>

First, fill the fish thingy up with ornaments. When I got to the top section I used floral wire and made an "X" over the top of the ornaments to each side of the top bar to hold them in and to make it keep it's form.</h4>

<h2>
What you will need:</h2>
<div>
Clear glass</div>
<div>
Mod Podge</div>
<div>
Food Coloring</div>
<div>
Water</div>
<div>
Wax paper</div>
<div>
Cookie baking sheet</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, cover your cookie baking sheet with a piece of wax paper and set to the side for later. In a bowl or cup that you will not be coloring, mix Mod Podge and Water and food coloring to desired. I have found that a 2:1 ratio seems to work best (e.i. 2 tablespoons of Mod Podge and 1 tablespoon of water.) I have also found that preparing this in an old tupperware bowl with a lid allows me to keep any left over mix to use later. Remember when adding your food coloring the simple principles we learned back in grade school.... that mixing white with a color will make it lighter. So when adding Duke blue food coloring to the white Mod Podge it will appear to be more like a Carolina blue or even a Panthers teal, but will finish like the jars in behind the green glass shown in the picture above. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once you have your mixture prepared, pour it into the glassware and slowly roll it around ensuring that you have covered the entire area. Now pour the excess mixture out and back into your mixing bowl. Flip your glassware upside down and place on the wax papered cookie sheet and let it continue to drain for at least an hour or two. This will help spread the mixture more evenly and help with bubbles. (Bubbles in the bottom of the finished are pretty much inevitable but you can control the size by time spent draining)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Heat your oven to 170 degrees (or the lowest setting your oven offers. Mine only goes to 200.) Once your glassware is done draining, place the cookie sheet in the oven for 15-25 min. (until a more dry appearance is present, not completely dry but not wet either) and then flip it right side up on the sheet and bake for another 30 min or until completely dry.<br />
<br />
Let the piece cool and you are finished.<br />
<br />
The best thing about this is that if you are not happy with the color you can recoat to make it deeper or soak it in water over night and the water soluble Mod Podge will dissolve and wash right out. Which brings me to another point, this is not a good choice for glassware you are planning to use for fresh flowers. </div>

As a mother of a very active 4 year old boy, co-owner of an electrical company, part time duck rescuer, Habitat Restore Blogger, it's clear to see that having things quickly accessible for use is a must. Spray paint cans have been my biggest storage with "grab and go capability" that I have been struggling with. If you haven't already gathered, I am a avid spray painter with an inventory and color selection that may rival a small hardware store. Lining them up on a bookshelf wasn't really working (mostly due to the fact that I always end up losing the cap that tells me what the color is), putting them in cardboard 6 pack beer holders took way too much room and still didn't provide me with the ease I was looking for, and the price of a PVC pipe large enough for the can to fit inside is a little absurd, not to mention the fact that it would then have to be cut and mounted which just sounds way too time consuming. I have tried just about every affordable way I could think of or find on Pinterest to no avail, which brings me to my latest midnight brainchild....<br />

I had picked up a sleeve of 20 of these large plastic cups for $.50 back in February from my local Habitat Restore thinking that I may have use for them in the wedding decorations that I was working on for my brother-in-laws upcoming wedding. (needless to say that I did not end up using them for that but) While trying to select a color off the shelf I have caused yet another landslide of spray paint sending cans all over the place and one ended up landing inside of one of these cups. It was at that time I discovered that the bottom of the cup perfectly held the spray paint can and I could lay it on it's side and even stack the cups!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply lined the cups up on a scrap piece of plywood and screwed them down using a small wood screw and a washer. These are pretty durable cups that don't crack when you squish them but I figured the washer would help disperse the weight more evenly across the bottom. I then mounted the board to the wall and filled the cups with spray paint cans and found that I could even fit a can in the dead space between each cup. Now I have I can quickly see my color choices and make a selection without the fear of breaking a toe! </div>

Have I got your wheels turning?

This has to be one of my most favorite concoctions I have ever thrown together! Mostly because it is comprised of some very random items and they were all FREE!!!</div>

My youngest sister and I both received metal detectors last Christmas and decided to for treasure hunting in the woods behind our parent's home in Welcome, NC. I am not sure exactly what sort of treasure we were thinking we were going to discover, but being as the town's history is composed of poor tobacco farmers, the odds of gold and riches were not high. But as the saying goes "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder," and perception makes all the difference. So when we discovered the old car that had been left in the woods to waste away under trees, dirt, and leaves, Kaitlyn felt that it was a treasure. It was pretty impressive that most of the chrome of this car was in impeccable condition (especially since the chrome on our 2000 Chevy Silverado is rusting and flaking)and wasn't extremely hard to pull off the brittle rusted body parts of the car. The down side is that it was incredibly heavy and I had to do most of the heavy lifting all the way back to the house. I am not going to lie to you when I say that at that time, I did not really see much more than more stuff to go to the recycling center and the only reason I was hauling this back home was to humor a 14 year old and let her believe she really did find something special. My mother wasn't extremely excited with the pile of car parts on her front porch, but smiled and said "wow, you really did find something there." I volunteered to take the parts back home being that we were planning to go to the scrap yard soon. Long story short, the parts didn't get scrapped and I couldn't be happier because I got to take this:</div>

I used the chrome from the car as the body, 2 light fixture mounts, some plumbing handles, and washers for the eyes and a conduit strap for the nose. And I can't wait to figure out what I will do with the rest of it!!</div>

For me, this is the one day out of the year that I live for. Seriously... It's better than the day I got hired (sorry boss), better than the time I saw the first shipment of new product being donated (though that is always an awesome feeling), and even better than those super crazy days at the Cornelius ReStore before 2pm when the Silent Auction is ending.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So<i>... why?</i> you may ask? <i>What's so fantastical about today that makes any other day at the ReStore seem... normal?</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because today is the day that the autumn and Halloween decorations get put out!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5C-bvMUZou1UR2JhVniclR_kJje8ijuQICtkCt3boK9faFthOIqQJq8MqP7hyZ8ZpNsZk_F9KLV7anrAHl1luP6uj0Xg8HSsAuFv0mBXBF0dYreyyLNKpNdrzXdj8VWwLDcIdynHNDY/s1600/halloweenmasks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5C-bvMUZou1UR2JhVniclR_kJje8ijuQICtkCt3boK9faFthOIqQJq8MqP7hyZ8ZpNsZk_F9KLV7anrAHl1luP6uj0Xg8HSsAuFv0mBXBF0dYreyyLNKpNdrzXdj8VWwLDcIdynHNDY/s320/halloweenmasks.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'm totally not kidding, either. Nor am I alone in my feelings of excitement!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day that all the fall and Halloween decorations get put out onto the floor it's like a feeding frenzy. You would think that our loyal customers had never seen an ounce of orange or black in their entire lives, that they hadn't really been <i>living</i> until today. The evidence is in this photo:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Note the pink tape that acts as a rope around this particular section of Halloween and fall goodies. That is because the Halloween goblins that were working so hard to stock the shelves couldn't keep up with the swarms of people buying up decorations as soon as they hit the shelves! And in some cases items were actually being pulled from the hands of these fabulous goblins before the items even <i>touched </i> the shelves!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is truly a magical day, one that gets you in the spirit for the leaves changing, the weather turning crisper, and the ghosts and ghouls that will soon make their appearances! While the weather here in the Lake Norman area hasn't been cooperating enough for me to pull out my favorite sweaters and boots, my obsession will autumn has not subsided, especially not after today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact, with the invention of Pinterest, there isn't much hope for this obsession leaving me anytime soon. If you are anything like me you've probably already pinned loads of fall crafts, recipes, decorations, Halloween costume ideas, etc. onto your "<a href="http://pinterest.com/ourtownsrestore/all-things-fall/" target="_blank">All Things Fall</a>" Pinterest Board. I have been itching to make a Fall craft, so my board is full of them! Especially since I found this gem at the Cornelius ReStore last year: <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's right.. it's an entire <b><u>bolt</u></b> of burlap. I think I paid a whopping $8 for it, which was absolutely amazing. I've been guarding it closely and have finally decided that I can't hide it any longer... it must be set free and have something wonderful done with it! Right now my heart is set on creating a Fabulous Autumn wreath similar to this one:<br />

Andrea Hartley is a local ReStore shopper, always looking to find a good deal and to tinker with something! Pictured above, she was a contestant in this year's <a href="http://ourtownsrestore.org/about-us/events/event-menu/restore-restyle-2013" target="_blank">ReStore ReStyle Design Challenge</a> which took place in May of 2013. She designed a wedding reception room with a rustic, shabby chic feel to it. She even wore part of her room for the event (her dress was a prop she picked up at the Mooresville ReStore)!</div>

30 yr old stay at home mother with a employment background in project
management for custom home building and a third generation "treasure
hunter." I have been sorting and sifting and digging through dusty
shelves, bins, and boxes to find that little forgotten and discarded treasure
for as long as I can remember. I have held my mothers legs so she wouldn't
fall into the public dumpster as she pulled out a Gilded solid wood picture
frame from the late 1800's at the age of 8 and learned how to reupholster at
9. Habitat Restore is my #1 most favorite place to shop for items I can not
only use in my home and crafts but to buy supplies for my husband's
electrical company. My three year old son is quite at home at our local
Restore and often can be found napping in the back of the shopping cart. I
can gain inspiration from just about anything, when I have a project in mind
I go immediately to Restore to see what items I can use to complete the task
at hand. There isn't really a place I haven't been to hunt. I know that even
if I had and endless supply of money that I would never shop retail, I love
the thrill of the hunt, recycling and satisfaction that I get when I spend
$10 on something that turns out to look like its worth a million dollars.</i></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I reached out to some of my favorite design bloggers for ideas on what to do
with them. The other week I shared ideas from </span><a href="http://hisugarplum.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cassie</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://southernhospitalityblog.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rhoda</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://www.inmyownstyle.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diane</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, and </span><a href="http://www.dwellbycheryl.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheryl</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.

cushions recovered or replaced. Maybe a solid white or cream cotton canvas on
the cushions. I'd also maybe only use the seat cushion and leave the back open

You're never sure what you'll find when you walk into a ReStore, which is why one of our slogans is <i>miss a day, miss a deal</i>. The other amazing thing about our ReStores is our location: we are smack dab in the middle of some of the most creative minds I personally have ever met.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There, now that I've said two very important things about the ReStores, I'll get to the point of today's blog post: these fabulous, hand crafted pieces of contemporary art that are actually functional coffee tables! They were donated by a local artist named Paul Minsker and are currently set up for auction at the Mooresville ReStore.</div>

There are a number of other tables donated by Paul Minsker at the Mooresville ReStore. Each table is made from layers and layers of wood which Paul cut, sanded, and painted himself. They are intricate in detail, beautiful in color and design.</div>
