I have had this piece for years. I bought it at a thrift store ages ago and wasn’t really sure what to do with it. Recently a local business asked me if I had a piece or two I…

In a moment of utter exhaustion over deck drama (read about that here), I snuck out for a bit of paint therapy… well stain actually. Shabby Paints Home Design has a fabulous new product called Gelato Gel Stain- Have…
