reMERbish reMERbish - (ree/MUR/bish) - the art of refurbishing, repurposing, and restoring a piece, for the sake of giving it a new life and new story

“God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are.”
–1 Corinthians 1:28

It is said that a person’s home should be a reflection of their personality, interests, and experiences. Just like our lives consist of memories gathered over many years, our homes should echo that well-loved, collected feel. One of the greatest ways

to accomplish this is by finding furniture pieces and décor items that you love and are as unique to you as your personality - refurbished, vintage pieces along with repurposed salvage items accomplish a look that is distinctive, loved, and treasured, creating a multi-layered, artistically comfortable feel to your home. Our goal at reMERbish is to recreate the aesthetic beauty of a piece crafted in days gone by, in order to preserve the functionality and integrity of it. Within the refinishing process, we often find pieces that simply need repurposing to be enjoyed in a new and fresh way. Through a labor-intensive effort of inspiration, creativity, and perspiration, something that was once neglected has been restored to be treasured once more or repurposed to begin a new story.

“It is not what you look at that matters. It is what you see.” {Henry David Thoreau}

reMERbish has a retail booth within Easy Street Resale in Pelham, AL, is a vendor at seasonal local markets, and does commission-based work.

I have so enjoyed the time with our littlest new one. I am not able to jump back in with full time refinishing now that the school year has started back up too. But, it is fun to have a project or two come along. Working this week on refinishing this lovely bed for a dear client. It'll be a beaut when it is finished!

I promised some pictures of our upstairs bonus room reno months ago, but a newborn got the best of my time😊 So here is a look at our stair build that goes up to the room. We had to strip them all the way to the studs and rebuild from there. Love the way it turned out!
It's been a long project, because we've only worked on it a little at a time, but it's finally coming to a close! The before with new treads, the in between with painted treads, then the after with reclaimed barnwood risers. I'm so excited! Maybe even Chip and JoJo would be happy with this one! 😉 More pics to come!

Our third precious bundle, Darci Noelle, was born on Saturday, January 31! We are overjoyed and blessed beyond measure. The Lord has truly done "exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or imagine." Welcome to the world, little one!

Hello guys! It has been awhile! Happy 2015 to all of you. I am coming upon the end of my pregnancy with baby girl, due any day.☺️ While I have been on my maternity sabbatical, we have been working on completing our upstairs bonus room. I'm looking forward to sharing all about this DIY adventure, but wanted to give y'all a small glimpse of the before and after! When finished, this room will hold several of my reclaimed treasures and be a retreat room for my family. The reclaimed barn wood accent wall is probably my favorite feature to date!

I thought I'd share this cute before and after with y'all! I bought this little antique bench probably about a year ago and finally got a chance to finish giving it a little makeover. It may still get some distressing, but overall a fun transformation! The perfect size for a little extra seating in my kitchen.

I hope everyone has had a great start to the fall, although this weather could still cool down a bit! Here at the reMERbish workshop things have slowed down in one sense, with projects and clients, but has been in fast motion in other areas! I have been feathering our nest for our new addition with new paint colors on walls, cleaning out of old items, grabbing up reclaimed items, etc! Our little baby GIRL is doing great and growing strong everyday along with the size of my belly! I will post some DIYs and projects soon. Have an awesome weekend!

So, if you're a frequent Easy Street Resale goer, you may have noticed my product is no longer there. I told y'all there are announcements for reMERbish coming for the fall!;)

It has been such a fun adventure over the past 2.5yrs. The Lord truly has taken the business far beyond my plans, and I feel blessed to have worked for clients as well as be a vendor at Easy Street, participate in local markets, and also be part of various charity events.

My business is taking a new turn. I am expecting our 3rd child in February! We are thrilled with this new blessing!

With that though, I am backing out of the refinishing business for a bit. I am already missing participating in the transformations and being involved at Easy Street and with clients.

I do intend to keep up with the business page by posting tips/tricks, product reviews, unique places to shop, both locally and out of state, and DIY projects. I hope to jump back into refinishing after the baby comes;) Will you keep up with me during these next few months?! I hope the info I'll be posting will be of help to you and of interest to those who love the world of antiquing, repurposing, diy-ing, thrifting, etc!

Although I will miss the world of refinishing for a bit, I am beyond thrilled for our family's new adventure! Thank you all for being the biggest and best supporters anyone could ask for!
