Opening my heart and getting real. After weeks, months and years of working on my health I look in the mirror and see more that can be done. It’s an image thing for most women. We stand there and pick apart what we hate about our body. Most of the time never giving ourselves permission to look at what we do love. For the most we never even go there. I can’t really ever remember looking in the mirror and...

I love to take something that had one purpose in the past and redo and renew it for the present. So many of my creations are like that and some people think I’m destroying the antique value. Let’s face it most of the things I redo are on their last roll to the trash dump. I’m mean really most of what I redo is from the curb in neighborhoods around me. The value in what I do is that I...

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.
