MOSES LAKE — There’s no one style that defines Restyle Design and Consign, which held its ribbon-cutting May 4 at the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce’s Catalyst Center downtown.
“It is extremely eclectic, because I want to showcase all styles,” said DeeDee Clune, owner of Restyle Design and Consign. “Presently I have things from contemporary to vintage … but there could be other things in between that are more of a boho style or a mid-century modern style, or any style, really.”
Clune has been doing interior design for about three years, she said, and opened the shop so she could offer furniture and home décor on consignment as well.
The shop is arranged in what Clune called “vignettes,” sections where the items may or may not have come from the same source, but they reflect a common theme. One corner has an African air, with a large painting of an elephant and zebra-striped art, and on another wall are three framed deer skulls.
Clune’s suppliers tend to find her via word of mouth, she said.
“They send me pictures, or if it’s something big, I go look at it because I want to quality-approve everything that comes in,” Clune said. “I want unique and cool pieces that maybe people have that they love, and it’s really high quality and they don’t just want to donate it to (a thrift store). (They can) make a little money and not have the marketplace hassle.”
There are also a handful of new items that Clune ordered for her home staging work but didn’t end up using, she said.
Restyle Design and Consign occupies the spot in the Catalyst Center that formerly housed Plume Vintage and New Boutique. Plume outgrew the Catalyst Center space and is now located at 210 E. Third Ave.
“When I heard (Plume) was moving out, it was the last day for applications,” Clune said. “I … put my application in and I got it, and a month later, here we are trying to make it happen.”
Another catalyst tenant, The Shack, closed down, and that space is already spoken for as well, said Chamber Director Debbie Doran-Martinez.
“I didn’t have to advertise or anything,” Doran-Martinez said. “I think Lori (Robins, Chamber marketing director) may have put it up on social media one time, and we have people in queue waiting (for an opening.)”
Restyle will be open Thursday through Saturday, Clune said, although the exact hours are still being determined.
“I just feel grateful that I’ve had everything align, with all the support from family and friends and local business leaders to make it happen,” Clune said. “I’m excited to open and see if people show up.”

Endless battle
Noxious Weed Control Board works to keep invasive plants under control
MOSES LAKE — Some of the nastiest plants in Grant County were the topic of a class led by Jay Johnson, a consultant with the Grant County Noxious Weed Control Board, Tuesday. The Noxious Weed Control Board, as its name would suggest, is tasked with keeping weeds under control in Grant County. That’s not a small job; the board’s website lists 129 species of noxious weeds that are found around Grant County. A noxious weed is defined as an invasive, non-native plant that threatens agricultural crops, local ecosystems or fish and wildlife habitat, according to the Noxious Weed Control Board. Washington state law requires that these weeds be identified and their spread kept to a minimum, if not completely eradicated. “We’re one of those agencies a lot of people don’t really understand,” Johnson said. “We’re a county office and … our funding is tax-based assessment. When you get your tax bill and you look down at all the expenses that you pay for, there we are.”

Moses Lake author encourages women to look beyond church culture norms
MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake author’s book, “A Christian Woman Striving to Live Her Faith in a Man-Controlled World,” takes aim at the role to which many churches relegate the female half of their congregations. “It’s to encourage women in the faith,” Linda Curran said. “A lot of churches say, ‘Teach Sunday school, do this, do that, but don’t (evangelize.)’" In her book, Curran recounts a time when she moved to a new community and joined a church there. She was surprised to learn that, as a new female member, she had been automatically assigned church cleaning duties. When she questioned it, she wrote, she was met with condescension and her objections were brushed aside. In other churches, she said, women who were capable of teaching were relegated to “women’s ministry.”
