Last summer, (yes, that long ago), I bought these two end tables with the intent to re-do them, give them some life and beauty. Unfortunately, life got in the way. We bought a house and moved. Since, they have been buried in the garage. I finally decided to dig them out, re-do them and get [...]
I just realized I had not posted the before and afters for a couple of tables I re-did, recycled. I really liked the way they turned out and one of them sold within a week of being placed in the booth — so, someone else really liked it too! The first one was a Pottery [...]
I ran across an interesting discussion in a forum about vintage and antique furniture. Someone was appalled that people were taking antiques and upcycling, recycling and/or repurposing them. There were plenty of comments s on both sides — and some were none to nice. Right, wrong or somewhere in the middle, this is my personal [...]
This past weekend was a HUGE, about 40 miles long, yard sale along the road we live on. We had so much fun going from sale to sale, seeing unique and different items, picking up stuff for ourselves and for the Vintage With A Twist booth. One thing my mom was looking for was patio [...]
In one of my favorite thrift stores, I found a pub height table and 4 chairs. The table has butterfly leaves and was made of solid blonde maple — heavier than all get-out! I had been looking at new pub tables but was unhappy with the “wood-like” material they were constructed from and the fact [...]
Yup, Spring is coming! The retail world is already hauling out the garden center products along with grills and patio furniture. Swimsuits will be making an appearance soon too! At the Vintage With A Twist booth, we are packing up all holiday touches in favor of Spring colors and anything that will support the Spring [...]
Repurposing furniture or “Upcycling” furniture is a lot of fun. Unfortunately it is darn cold here and snowing. So, our work area is not conducive to re-dos right now. So, I have been browsing the internet coming up with inspiration for future projects. Let me just say there are a lot of very creative and talented people [...]
Vintage Furniture Repurposing – DIY Projects I love to find new and different ideas for repurposing furniture that is broken, lived its useful life or just needs a pick me up. We see lots of broken down items during our treasure hunting so I keep a file full of ideas that I can go back [...]
I finally finished the record cabinet and I love it! We will be putting it in the booth along with all the other furniture pieces starting today, Monday, Aug. 29th. We are so excited! It will probably take all week to get it set up the way we want it but I will take pictures [...]
As I have said before, we all love furniture repurposing or just redoing furniture with a more up to date style – it’s so eco friendly and a green way to decorate! We regularly run the yard sale, auction and thrift store circuits searching for a diamond in the rough. While out on a treasure hunt with [...]
We are busy slaving away, redoing furniture (love that it is eco friendly to boot), spiffing up furniture and generally running around trying to get our inventory ready for the booth expansion. We plan to show off some of our furniture repurposing and redos when they are finished. But, for now, take a gander at [...]

My mom is a Dachshund nut! She just loved the little wiener dogs. We almost always had one while I was growing up. The two that stick out the most in my memory were Hilda (from the time I was about 4 until I was 14) and Lucy, the 14 year old Dachshund they have [...]
In the last post, I showed you one of our displays that had quite a few Coca-Cola items on it. Here it is again: We got a call from the mall owners that we needed to move things around and make a space in the corner of our booth. Seems they are adding a [...]
Okay, the 6th installment coming up! This installment of cool vintage items features small items or “smalls”. These go pretty fast in a booth so we have to have some back-up. We try to keep our eyes open for interesting and fun smalls that we think our clients would like. It can’t be ordinary or [...]
