I'm so excited to share our vintage camping boy's bedroom retreat design with you! Let's talk about this bedroom. It started as the nursery for both my kiddos. Then when we decided our little guy had outgrown his crib, we painted up the room in a Star Wars theme. At the time our boys were obsessed with Episode I - the Phantom Menace. They preferred the dark side and Darth Maul was their favorite character. We painted the hardwood floors white and distressed them all those years ago when … [Read more...] about Vintage Camping Boy’s Bedroom Retreat

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.

We sorted through some of the decorations, setting out little pumpkins, spiders and other crafty fall decor … [Read more...] about Scrappy Fall Wreath
Window to the World: DIY Map Project
My husband taught history for many years. Maybe it explains why he is attracted to all things old, vintage and worn... except for me, of course, because I'm at least a few years younger than him and definitely not old or worn - yet! But, like him, I am attracted to vintage and so this is just one of the many ways we are perfect life partners. I couldn't imagine this journey with anyone else. He also continues to amaze me with his creativity... and that's something that really melts my … [Read more...] about Window to the World: DIY Map Project
DIY Repurposed Vintage Map Frame Decor
We are always on the lookout for old frames at flea markets, salvage shops and somewhat less frequently, yard sales. I love finding unique shapes, ornate versions, or simply really large ones. There are so many things you can do with frames. Sometimes I just hang the empty frame on my walls. I often paint and wax them for a more vintage-y look that brings out the decorative patterns. I also like to repurpose frames as chalkboards and memo boards. Frames can be an inexpensive addition to your … [Read more...] about DIY Repurposed Vintage Map Frame Decor
