About

Ok this is new for me, so please bear with me. I will try to give you a quick glimpse of who I am and how I got here. I am a lover of God, mother of two awesome boys, DIY redesigner, and die-hard rescuer of furniture. I have a major issue with seeing once loved, discarded, wooden furniture waiting for it's final doom and destination.....THE LANDFILL!



Case in point: My son and I drove 53 highway miles with a roll top desk strapped to the top of my little Kia Sportage..(He made me promise not to make him do that again, he was driving 45mph on the highway and the thought of it falling off stressed him out...a 17yo stressed out? Really? OK kid, I got it.)

My biggest pet peeve, is seeing sturdy wood items, couches, and love seats, tossed out. All that time and material being discarded...OUCH! Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you have to keep your furniture forever, but I believe that things can be re-purposed at least once more before going to the dump.

I have more than three R's Recycle, reuse, redesign, re-purpose, replace, reinvent, renew...see where this is going?

While I realize I can't save every item, I will attempt to show you my newest, mostly modern, attempt on sprucing up and reusing the pieces I do rescue. My design style is my own, I call it "decocycle". It is mostly modern elegant and always transitional meaning it can be changed with my mind or mood..lol. Decocycle style encourages thinking outside the box, like with this loveseat I refinished, using fabric, cardboard, and glue. I added our family crest on the bottom for a personal touch.



I am individually creative, but I believe in giving credit where it is due, as I get a lot of my inspiration from HGTV and other t2t'ers. When this is the case, be sure to check out my inspiration.

In my efforts to help out, the planet and people, I am embarking upon a wonderful journey of treasure hunting and invite you to come along! Hopefully, you will never look at discarded furniture the same EVER again.

Please view the causes I support, in conjunction with my treasure finding, so you too can participate in saving the environment and contribute to lending a helping hand.

Finally, my dream is to have my own treasure cove eventually, so with that in mind, I will occasionally have pieces are for available for purchase and my redesign skills are also available to create something original for you.



View all the posts of my work so you can see what I've been up to! Who knows? Maybe your creative imagination will be sparked.

Now...Let's decocycle!!
