About This Show

Tossouts become useful treasures with DIY Network's From Junky to Funky! The show's host, Samantha Gleisten, determines what is needed to transform a room. She then takes the homeowner on a scavenger hunt through urban streets, alleys, garage sales, thrift stores and Dumpsters searching for promising pieces. Back at Sam's workspace, the homeowner learns step-by-step how to transform a found object into something wonderful. Afterwards, Samantha and carpenter Tim Borntrager perform miraculous makeovers with the remaining found items that surprise and amaze the homeowner. Go From Junky to Funky with DIY!
