Okay months ago I brought home this round thing made of some kinda wicker. I bought it at Rustybydesignauction.com and I had no idea what it was. I didn’t go to the preview day I just bid on it without seeing it. When I got to Rusty’s to pick it up I was shocked at the size, it was really big. I sat it in the garage when I got home and when Greg saw it he laughed and said...

I have found as I get older I like what I like, old or new if it makes my heart pump I want to live with it. My home is my place of safe, love, comfort and happy. So when I...

As an artist you always look for continuous projects that challenge you. The same goes for an art teacher looking for projects that challenge the students. A few years back, 7 to be exact I started the chair project at Wylie Prep. The point of this project was to give them a chair and let their creativity go wild. The rules of the assignment are no rules. All year we collect the chairs from trash piles, families and most just...

I love this idea so much. I’ve seen it done many ways and lately done with old drawers. What do you do if you don’t have an old draw? You improvise and make it work anyway. My sweet friend Andrea who works at my Doctors office thought of me when they were tossing out old wood shelves. I wasn’t sure what to do with them until I got them home and put them in storage. In order to make room...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
