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

The weather has also been fairly warm and we were able to take advantage of it at the thrifty places we visited this month! While we love auctions, we don't always have a full day to dedicate to them. However, during our fall break, Corey found a little time to waste and came up with some unique treasures! … [Read more...] about October Finds
