Ever since our very first holiday market in our tiny town, Corey and I have been hooked on the WHOLE experience of creating a temporary shop to sell our handmade and repurposed goods. There's an amazing rush every time someone wants to purchase something we created. Every. Single. Time. Our unwritten Robb Restyle philosophy is pretty much, "would I put this in my house?" And, really, that's where much of our inspiration comes. If we like it, we make it. Don't get me wrong... this whole … [Read more...] about Hobnob Market

DIY Holiday Market Display with Ryobi Tools
Before there was an official Robb Restyle blog, there was just us... two pickers and makers, passionate about vintage treasures, working together to create beautiful things for our old home. Of course, now Robb Restyle has grown to share these treasures with others at nearby markets. And today we give you a little behind the scenes peek at how we built our market display with Ryobi tools. Our schedules seem to get crazier the older our kids become so we decided to focus on just one holiday … [Read more...] about DIY Holiday Market Display with Ryobi Tools

Hello Fall: DIY Vinyl Window Wreath
And now, for my next trick I will cut a piece of vinyl into a delicate wreath...... Abracadabra....... Seriously, I sometimes feel like my little Silhouette Cameo machine is a magician. It so readily turns my vision into a reality. I love using it to cut decals for numerous projects around the house - both seasonal and practical. And when I place the vinyl on glass or mirrors, I can change my mind anytime. Because I will. Frequently. Change my mind. I discovered this little wreath clip art … [Read more...] about Hello Fall: DIY Vinyl Window Wreath
DIY Painted Faux Pumpkins with Vintage Door Knobs
I don't know what it is about vintage door knobs, but we love them here at Robb Restyle. We like to think of them as an architectural fingerprint - sometimes just as unique as the home they were used in - but also sometimes an element long forgotten or taken for granted. We find them in all shapes and sizes and colors - and so much unlike the knobs of doors used in more recent homes. Our workshop has bins of them, collected over many, many years. When we are missing a match for a doorknob … [Read more...] about DIY Painted Faux Pumpkins with Vintage Door Knobs
Scrappy Fall Wreath
Nothing screams fall more than a good ol' wreath project. Now that my entryway had been rearranged (after painting my front door yellow), I was ready to start decorating for fall. And, frankly, I was bored last Friday night. Sometimes my best projects are unplanned. My kids love decorating the house for fall, so they were thrilled to see me bring the fall decor tote down from the attic. We sorted through some of the decorations, setting out little pumpkins, spiders and other crafty fall decor … [Read more...] about Scrappy Fall Wreath
