Well that old saying applies to what your neighbor has. If you spend your time looking and wanting what others have you waste your time. That wasted time can be used to better your own life or better...

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.
