I found this hope chest at a thrift store last week. Isn’t it just dated? This isn’t the original fabric. The saddest part to me is that they didn’t even recover it properly. Can you see? They just…
Been wondering where I’ve been? Well, I’ve been completely swamped with work… which is a good place to be and I am so very grateful. Here’s a bit of a taste: Yesterday I was able to move into my…
Honest to goodness, this is the easiest veneer removal EVER. It is SO easy that you won’t even believe me it works until you do it yourself. So I have this amazing dining set I got that I plan…
Here are some shots of the pieces I have been working on: Lots of work still to do. Very excited though. I have already delivered some pieces to my second location (how cool is that?!) and they’re having a…

Remember... you want to vote for the PURPLE one... (and I completely agree with what you're thinking- the teal one is SO cool too!!)
…
Simply Spray (the people who make the fabric spray paint I used for the purple chair makeover) have entered it in a contest on their facebook page. How cool is that?! Now the reason for two posts in one…
Have you heard of Freecycle? It’s a great website where people go to keep items out of landfills. The “One man’s trash, may be another’s treasure” kind of philosophy. What’s the catch? Well, if you post something on there,…
Brian’s Aunt said I could do it!!!! She’s supportive and excited about it too! I’m so thrilled- we’re driving up to the Adirondacks next weekend to pick it up. Stay tuned… …
