The Gonser's... One Big Loud Fun Blended Family!: ReInVintaged Designs

~ReClaim~ReVive~ReHome~

what an exciting time in our lives!!! while i have a minute, i figured i'd take a second to sort of... update everyone on what the gonser's have been up to!

i don't even know where to start really... the furniture thing has just snowballed! in a good way!! we have a work shop full of pieces ready to be ReVived!!! i say "work shop" but what i really mean is the garage that neither mike or i can currently park in!! thank goodness we have a four car garage!

one reason i was really interested in ReViving furniture is I'M CHEAP!! but... i want our home to be BEAUTIFUL!! and i want everyone else's homes to be BEAUTIFUL as well!! AND AFFORDABLE!! i also believe in saving great pieces from the past!! why go out and buy a cheaply built "put together" piece when you can spend the same money on a "ReInVintaged" piece!! Not only will you get better quality, but it will LOOK BETTER too!!

having this little business has been GREAT for our family!! we are all involved and play a specific role:

Laurie (thats me!) i do the shopping/picking, manage our on-line marketing, paint and design my projects!

Mike (my husband) handles all the money stuff, does estimates on custom paint projects, builds custom furniture, and paints and creates all his own projects!

Sireana (our oldest at home) shops and picks with me. she's currently learning to do mosaics!!

Lexi (our 13 year old) paints and designs all her own projects!!

Brady (our 12 year old) does all our reupholstering ... yeah, i know that sounds crazy, but it's true!! his grandpa taught him, and he's amazing at it!! brady also preps projects and paints/designs his own.

Jim (my dad) love shopping/picking for us!! he's also brady's upholstery mentor!

we've always been a close family, but working together has been a real blessing!! our children are learning the benefits of hard work and what it means to work for a goal!!!

we have a business page on Facebook, so if you haven't already, please take a second to "like" us!

we will continue to find treasures on our own to ReVive... but if you have a piece already that needs a little face lift, we do that too!! mike is also doing some custom furniture. if you liked the farm table we have, he's definitely doing those!

i'm sure i'm leaving a bunch out... so ask questions!

Here's some of our work:
