DIY Color Stain Project: Bedroom Sideboard
Have you ever tried to stain furniture yourself? Before we met, my husband would buy old furniture pieces (many of them antiques). Then he would strip and stain them - a laborious process if you ask me. I didn't have that kind of patience. Give me a rough piece of furniture and some paint. That's all I need. I can get it prepped and painted almost immediately. Add some distressing when it's dry. Call it done. Move on to the next project. DIY Color Stain Project But sometimes you find a … [Read more...] about DIY Color Stain Project: Bedroom Sideboard
Repurposed Vintage Tin Ceiling Wall Decor
From the very beginning, we have had a knack for finding architectural salvage (like vintage tin ceiling tile) and decorating our home with it. You could say that Robb Restyle "the shop" was established as result of how we decorated our home with these recycled pieces. Friends and family would visit and ask us to make a similar version for their house. One of the first projects we ever made was a unique wall hanging with some old tin ceiling tile that Corey had found. He painted over the … [Read more...] about Repurposed Vintage Tin Ceiling Wall Decor

Vintage Home Decor for Fall
A bit of cooler weather a few weeks ago really put us in the mood for fall around here. In Indiana, the seasons seem to flip back and forth a few times before they actually stick. So, it's been a week of 80 degrees, then a week of mid-60s and now we are back up to 80s again. I realize fall isn't for a few weeks but I'm looking forward to bringing out the denim with the cooler temps. My mom and I were discussing our fall decor plans during our impromptu trip to T.J.Maxx last Saturday... and … [Read more...] about Vintage Home Decor for Fall
Dining Room Restyle Part 1: Home Office
I am so excited to share our dining room mini makeover! To make it last, I'm going to share it in a few parts. Let's start with my home office. You know, for most of my twenties I was very career-driven. I went to college with big dreams and clear goals. I knew what I wanted to be. I wasn't one who changed her mind or her major. Ever. After college I found a great company and continued on my path. Add a few kiddos in the picture and my career goals started to slow down. Add a … [Read more...] about Dining Room Restyle Part 1: Home Office
The Best of 2014
Last year was filled with loads of crafty DIY projects, thrifty picking, repurposed vintage, more house renovations... not to mention too many plans than can be accomplished and bigger dreams than we can afford. Isn't that life? It is for us. My husband and I share this hobby (more like a frenzy sometimes) to fearlessly tackle DIY projects both around the house and for retail. It's not only time we share together, it's our way of putting aside the stresses of the daily grind and really … [Read more...] about The Best of 2014
Blogland Tour
One of my Haven friends asked me to participate in a blogland tour… if you read other blogs, you know that this is a great way for us to introduce you to other bloggers you will find interesting. Sadly, Jennifer and I met on our way home from Haven. We were headed to the airport at the same time and chatted non-stop while Corey guided us to & through the airport - we were completely oblivious little travelers as we rehashed our first-ever Haven experience. It turns out we are … [Read more...] about Blogland Tour
Painting My Door Yellow and Happy
I finally did it. For years I have begged my husband to paint my front door. 100 years, he says. Why would you paint it now, he asks. I won't do it, he assures me. Okay then, I will. Once I saw a post from the Young House Love bloggers about painting their door yellow (their old house, I think), I was determined to paint mine. I loved yellow. We have a white house with a brick porch and faded blue shutters. When it comes down to it, there isn't a lot you can do that quickly and … [Read more...] about Painting My Door Yellow and Happy
