So many times in my life I would find myself looking at my home and thinking “this just isn’t working anymore”. I need to trash it all and start all over. Then off I would go to find new things, new furniture and redo it all. This past weekend Greg and I had this same conversation about all the money we could have saved if we would have just reused, reloved and recycled what we already had. We remembered a...

I just absolutely love what I do. How in the world did I fall into this amazing little business. For my 50th birthday present my daughter gave me my very own blog. She made it so easy by setting it up. All I have to do is pretty much type and hit a few buttons and it all goes out. That is the easy part it’s the other part that keeps me awake at night. When I do sleep I...

I found this head-board at Rustybydesignauction.com, the 2 chairs, 2 boards on the side of the road but the dresser top came from a friend who runs an...

There are so many times that I have an idea in my head. Really at least 4 to 5 ideas pop into my head everyday. I walk through my day looking at things thinking oh my I could so make that better if I could just change this or that. It really is a pain because you sometimes can’t focus on what you want to do for what you think you might do. It gets me in trouble some many...

On Saturday I announced that I would be telling a big secret at Doc Holliday’s. The plan was made ready on Thursday and all was going to plan when we hit a snag. I have to tell you the back story first so it all makes sense. Over the past few months my son has been selling found treasures at sidewalk sales. He is very artsy like me and loves the idea of vintage made useable again. He has done...

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.
