    DIY Concrete Pedestal

    8:10 PM - By 

    Ok so it’s no secret that I love a thrifty planter makeover. I can usu­al­ly be found search­ing my local thrift store shelves at least once a week. I love the thrill of find­ing some­thing with good bones and breath­ing a fresh new life and pur­pose into it. In this case, a DIY con­crete pedestal. This par­tic­u­lar thrifty makeover was a lit­tle extra fun sim­ply because I end­ed up using it for some­thing com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent than plants. If I am being super hon­est I can bare­ly keep plants alive so hav­ing an abun­dance of planters does­n’t add any val­ue to…

    Simple DIY Joy Sign

    2:18 AM - By 

    It’s been a hot minute since I post­ed any­thing new here on the blog and I thought this DIY Joy sign was a great way to fin­ish up all of my sea­son­al Christ­mas projects. In all hon­esty haven’t had a ton of time to spend on very many projects since open­ing the shoppe. This project blos­somed out of the need to clear my mind and the word “Joy” was the first word that came to mind. Just this past Fri­day, Decem­ber 10th our small town of May­field. KY was com­plete­ly dev­as­tat­ed by high-end, mon­ster EF‑4 tor­na­do. After see­ing the dev­as­ta­tion…

    Thrift Store Flip: Mini Screen Door

    4:10 AM - By 

    Here at Roost and Restore I love to show peo­ple how they can dec­o­rate their homes resource­ful­ly. A lot of the times that means tak­ing some­thing from a thrift store and giv­ing it a fresh makeover so it will fit your own per­son­al style. This thrift store flip is no exception! You just might be sur­prised how far a lit­tle paint and cre­ativ­i­ty can go when dec­o­rat­ing your home. It’s all about using the resources you have to dec­o­rate. It’s that simple.

    Soap Pump Makeover

    We recent­ly opened up our new home decor shoppe and I knew after open­ing week­end that I would need a cute way to pro­vide hand san­i­tiz­er at the check­out. That is when I thought of this soap pump makeover! I found the cutest glass soap pump for $1 with a hob­nail pat­tern that I could­n’t resist. A quick clean­ing and a lit­tle paint and this makeover was fin­ished and ready for the check­out counter. I cov­ered the glass por­tion of the pump with 2 thin coats of chalky white paint and applied rub n buff in antique gold to the…

    Every year it seems like I am left scratch­ing my head try­ing to fig­ure out the per­fect Christ­mas cen­ter­piece for my din­ing table, cof­fee tables, sofa table…any table real­ly. But I believe I may have found some­thing unique, sim­ple and beau­ti­ful with this DIY Christ­mas centerpiece. It all start­ed with an old lampshade…yes you read that cor­rect­ly, A lamp shade.  It was old. Stained. Bor­ing. But I changed all that just by sim­ply strip­ping it down with a box cut­ting knife and styling it with a few beau­ti­ful items from Roost and Restore Home. This is what the shade looked like after…
