👉 shoptheturnedleg.com I believe that everyone should have the right to a beautiful home. As a former teacher and single mother with a very limited budget I had to get creative. I love to thrift and go junking and even find a curbside treasure. I get so excited to bring new life int

o pieces that people think are worthless. Painting and restoring helps me destress from the craziness of life. There are many people who love to save good junk like I do and I love to share what I find and what I know with them. Everyone who helps me save the treasures and make them pretty again I call my Junk Army. What a strong group of amazingly creative people. This passion has grown into a small business and allowed me to retire from teaching and do this full-time. I love to wake up each day and do what I love. I also love to get to spend extra time with my daughter. I use DIY Paint, Sweet Pickins Milk Paint, and JRV products and more to make everything pretty again. I sell all of my furniture, home decor, salvage, antiques and more in my booth at Plaza Antiques & Collectibles Mall, 2621 Dix Highway in Lincoln Park, MI. I also have an online store at shoptheturnedleg.com. I also sell items for others to finish their own projects or even start new ones. My goal is to help to teach others to see the value in "junk", join my Junk Army & get out there to salvage, repurpose & create.

Not a fan of watering, but this sure makes it a little more enjoyable. 💚

I gave this watering can a makeover with Sweet Pickins Milk Paint in In A Pickle and the IOD Primrose Isle transfer.

This one is mine and isn’t going anywhere. 😊

Would a pretty watering can make you more likely to water your flowers?

Paint inlays are one of those products that seem a little magical. ✨
Have you ever tried one, or are they still on your DIY bucket list?

Curbside rescue.
This one was too pretty to leave, don’t you agree?

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, I think it's important to make time to simply be inspired.
This morning, I sat on my deck with a cup of coffee and took in the view of my garden. The flowers are blooming, the birds are busy, and for a few minutes, I wasn't thinking about my to-do list.
I was just enjoying the moment.
I've found that some of my best ideas don't come when I'm working harder—they come when I slow down enough to notice what's around me.
Today, my garden inspired me.
What inspires you? 🌸☕🌿

As a small business owner, THIS is my why. ❤️

A simple selfie with my daughter that she wanted to take.

When I’m packing orders, sourcing inventory, filming videos, answering emails, and doing all the behind-the-scenes work, I have to remind myself why I started this journey in the first place: more flexibility, more freedom, and more moments like this.

Sometimes it can feel like we’re doing all the things without knowing what’s actually making a difference.

So can you help me with one quick question?
