Repurposed My Way ~ Shelly

Hello Friends,
I'm Shelly and I like to Rescue, Renew and Repurpose new and used items. They could be destined to go to the trash pile, give away, yard sale or from a thrift store. I usually can see something different in the items and bring out a new beauty in them.

Currently, I live Off Grid in Maine on 12 acres with my Husband of 30+ years. Chickens are our animals of choice at the moment, but you never know what may be next. We started a channel on KZread called *Whiskey n Sunshine Off Grid* for gardening and Homesteading ideas, But I wanted to share my passion for Repurposing My Way separate from that channel.

I love being creative and sharing my ideas to help people find renewed love for their old tired items.

I hope this sounds interesting to you and you will stick around and see some different repurposed, renewed, diy's that inspire you.

Thank you & Enjoy!
Shelly

    Did you clear coat the rosin salt? If I set these outside by my front door I’m afraid wind and blowing snow would wear away the epsom salt. I live in Wisconsin so blowing snow is an everyday thing .

    So jelly of your dump Shelly! I have to roam the streets to find unwanted "junk" 🤣! Absolutely love the game board transformation! The little lamp so sweet💗 I have some old springs I am using in a project as well, they are GREAT! My primitive soul sings when that lovely mustard color appears, so rich! That basket is simply lovely! Thanks so much for sharing my sweet, talented friend!🤗

    My first time watching your channel and I thought it was fabulous. I really loved how you line the basket. The only think I would have done any different was to spray the basket brown and then did the mustard over it; but, I am a brown primitive kinda person. LOL Oh and its nice to meet you Shelly, I am Melinda.

    I used fusion woodwick paint on an antique corner cabinet outside and chocolate on the inside shelves and back of the shelves. So pretty. I really like the little tool box and will be doing that on one I have. If I don’t text after each project or forget what I wanted to say. 😂 thanks for sharing and listening.

You adding the spring was a great idea n also the home spun material around neck of the candle looks awesome. You gave me a great idea, thanks. Doing that basket makeover a big thank you. I like that style n I’m going to definitely try it. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

    Shelly you are very clever! I'm so happy I found your channel.i have a very small booth at an antique mall, seems like people in the country where we live still like primitive so with what you are teaching me, I'm ever so great full. I would like to purchase some samples of fusion paint to try a few country colors , my fear it is beyond my budget😔 I loved your little tote and loved the color you painted it. Thank you again

    Thank you! I'm so glad I can help. It is great paint, with a built in sealer. So you are saving money by not buying that. Honestly I enjoy using Waverly paint from Walmart just as much, and it's easier to distress back with too.
