Okay many months ago I did a blog about the redo of my master bathroom. I revealed a cabinet I put in the corner of the room that held my towels and other bathroom needs. You can see I painted it light blue with an over lay of antique glazing. I DO NOT LIKE IT! I haven’t liked it from day one. I had one thing in my head and that is not what came out. I decided to live...

I stand firm that almost any piece of furniture real wood or not can be saved and up cycled into a usable piece. Well I think I’ve met my match and this piece is kicking my butt. A few weeks ago a friend of mine ask me to stop by her house. She had a piece of furniture that she found and wanted to know how to redo it. I love to look at things people find and help them...

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.
