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 into pieces that people think are worthless. Painting and restoring helps me destress from the craziness of life. There are many people who lov

e 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.

Just a shout out to all who shopped small this weekend. ❤️ We did the same and we still have a little more to do. When you shop as mall you make such an impact in your community.
The red chairs and many other pieces…big and small found homes for Christmas. So glad because I have a bunch of new items to bring in. Are you done shopping, yet?

Just a friendly reminder to get those homemade Christmas projects done. 😁
I made this on my live last week and I still need to add a bow to it. I got stuck on what color I should use and then just didn’t do anything. Can you relate?
Do you have a Christmas project to finish, too? What are you working on?

EPIC DAY doing what I love. 😄💪🚙
I spent the day saving the BEST old furniture and meeting the nicest people along the way. ❤️
This is me all red faced after loading a whole bunch of antique furniture into my van from the upstairs of a home. (Why is the best stuff never on the first floor?)
I got A LOT of exercise and enjoyed every moment. There was so much good stuff! Most will be coming soon to my booth at Plaza Antiques & Collectibles Mall in Lincoln Park, MI. A few things I am keeping for myself…they were lifelong bucket list items.
I am SO grateful for all of my Junk Army and my junkin friends. (You know who you are! Thank you!) This day would not have been possible without you.
I was really feeling the holiday spirit today as the Christmas carols blasted in my van on the ride home. After I unloaded everything my daughter and I had dinner and watched our favorite Christmas movie with our puppy, George. 🐶🎄🎅🏻
Christmas really did come early. I hope you all get a Happy junkin Christmas, too. I think those are THE BEST!
Are you looking for anything special? What do you hope I got in the haul?

I ❤️ giving gifts, and with my 50th birthday coming up, I wanted to give back with a special surprise!

I’ve created 10 mystery gift boxes filled with over $100 worth of craft supplies—and they’re available now for ONLY $25 each! 🎁

These boxes are online now, and if there are any left, I'll bring them to my booth at Plaza Antiques & Collectibles Mall in Lincoln Park, MI this Wednesday.

Good business sense? Probably not. But a great deal for you, and it makes my heart so happy to share the love!

Happy 17th Birthday to my AMAZING daughter, April! You are the sweetest, strongest, and smartest person I know. I wouldn't be where I am in my business without you encouraging me to do my first lives (standing by me and helping me) and always encouraging me to try the next hardest thing. I love you so much and love the young lady you are becoming. I am one lucky mama. Looking forward to starting your special day thrifting!

Let’s paint something new to look old

I had to share my first tree I painted with DIY Paint Cottage Color in Vintage Pink. It turned out SO good. Best of all you can paint your tree ANY color you want. I am sharing this now just in case you still are putting up your tree and you find it had yellowed like mine had. Have you tried this, yet? #theturnedleg #salvagerepurposecreate #diypaint #christmasdecor #christmastree #paintyourtree

Our Story

I believe that everyone should have the right to a beautiful home. As a teacher and single mother with a very limited budget I have to get creative. I shop thrift stores and tag sales and friends’ homes to salvage pieces of furniture and repurpose them, giving those pieces a life. The technique I use depends upon the piece. I refinish furniture, using DIY Paint. I love to distress and create a chippy finish and blended finishes. With a lot of meticulous work, I can give new life and a new purpose to my finds. All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind. Each piece has character, a past life, and that’s what I love about them. Since my house can hold only so much and I continue to find amazing pieces, I decided to start a business to share what I make with others. I also want to share the tricks and tips that I have learned with others to inspire their own creativity. The Turned Leg sells painted furniture, DIY Paint Products, JRV Stencils, Paint Pixie Brushes, antiques, salvage and home goods at Plaza Antiques & Collectibles Mall in Lincoln Park, Michigan.
