Do you ever look at things you have in your house and think I’m so tired of all this stuff. I’ve done that on more than one occasion. I’ve also had many conversations with friends that say I want to just take it all out of my house and start over. Oh my gosh that would cost so much and there is something you can do to change things. You can do this without spending a ton of money. You...

I do so many projects a week I just really don’t have time to do one for me. This weekend I took the time to do one for my home. I’ve been talking about doing it for weeks now. I found this piece on the curb in my neighborhood on my way home from the gym. At first I thought I was going to redo it for my booth at Doc’s but the more I thought about it I wanted...

I’m pretty sure this desk/table top piece was meant to be used to organize mail or paper work. It would work great for that, but I plan to make it so much more. I don’t have to do any big reconstruction to it, nor do I have to add anything to it. I just wanted to update the color a bit and cover up the 1990’s look. I picked black because it goes pretty much with any decor out there....

What a beautiful fit for any home this piece will be. It started its furniture life as a part of a wardrobe and now it will move on recycled to stand on its own. When I get old furniture that as it is might not fit into the homes today I have to rethink, look outside the box and allow myself to break it apart. That is what happened to this piece. Wardrobes aren’t really needed much any more. Homes...

This weekend was the best ever full of organizing. Having my work space and home well-organized makes me the ultimate Blue Happy. I like to know that everything has a place and there is a place for everything. We moved into this house 8 years ago come this July 4th. We moved out of our big family dream home and down sized. Our first-born was off to college and our last born was a Sr. in high school. Down sizing...

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.
