About a month ago I was asked to teach a class at a local brewery. I was totally honored of course and thought it would be so fun! She wanted a fun sign for the first class so we…
van Gogh collection
Have you ever worked with decorative metal? I call it radiator grating. It comes in several designs and you can really do so much with it- I also think it adds a bit more character (and hiding power if you like) than…
You’ve all seen those dated end tables everyone’s “cool” uncle seemed to have, right? Hexagon shaped with plastic moldings and velour… I see that look on your face… you have NO idea what I am talking about do you?…
I painted the brick. There. Go ahead and tell me what a terrible person I am. I can live with it. I could not stand the color of that blasted fireplace for so long now. I’ve lost count of…
Antique china cabinet
I purchased this antique cabinet from a young couple just starting out. They had just bought their first home and were desperate to brand it as their own. They had just returned from IKEA and were dying to get…

Over the holidays I was very blessed to have my husband around a lot. It was wonderful because I like him, and also because I could get quite a bit of work done.…
I really, REALLY love working with van Gogh Furniture Paintology (van Gogh chalk paint collection)! I get to have some of the most incredible experiences and meet some of the most wonderful people- two of them are Mandie of…
What can I say? I really do adore Canada! All the stereotypes are true- they really are very nice people! I actually knew this already since I have been there a few times already… (I just thought I would…
I left home yesterday to fly to Buffalo and drive over the boarder to Ontario. I am heading to Port Perry, Ontario tomorrow to see Joanne Mudd of Muddaritaville, and Kathy van Gogh- the creator and Artistic Director of…
A few months ago I found this frame at a thrift store. I put it on my facebook page that I have big plans for it (I did). I ordered the pieces I needed to do what…
ok, so here’s the problem…. I didn’t take a before picture. I don’t even know why. Maybe I did… I just can’t find it. I need to show you this so if I find the before I will add…
