When we went to San Antonio we shopped, shopped and did more shopping. Most everything I bought the couples with us thought I found great things but then there was the bench. This will be the second time that I bought a bench that everyone thought was a piece of junk. Well this bench was a piece of junk until I got it in my studio this past weekend. Now its fabulous! The feet on the bottom were rotten and...

I’m still working towards the Blue Happy online store. It’s complicated and my IT person isn’t much help these days. Something about having time off to have a baby, by the way hasn’t come yet. Everyday we get up and think okay Scarlett’s gonna come today, but no she doesn’t. Maybe today is the day. So the online store for Blue Happy hopefully will be up and running very soon. Until then I have BIG BIG NEWS! On Thursday the...

Well it’s not Friday nor Saturday it’s Sunday and this project has made me go mad. Really I’m pretty sure I’m close to a straight jacket and a rubber room. Not one of my plans for this little table that I started with ended up in the final piece. I’m tossing it up as my artist soul took over and won. It still turned out to be one of my best pieces yet. It was left for trash and I...

Remember the little brown table that I found in my neighbors trash just across the street. It had been left out in the weather and was almost done. Lets just say the pulse was weak and frail. I rescued it and planned my redo. Today was supposed to be the day of its reveal. I started the refurbish and it didn’t go as planned. I began over 10 days ago, I knew it would be a challenge but, I had...

This piece isn’t that crappy. Really, you could move it right in and use it “as is” if you needed to. It’s yellow orangish stain gives it away as a 90’s piece. Found on the side of the road left for the garbage man. Kinda sad because it has so much more to give just needs a quick update. So that is what I did, I gave it a shabby chic update. Just like the piano bench on Mondays blog...

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.
