Today could have been a day that I let things get to me. I got up at my regular time of 3:50am and started my day at the gym. Home and ready for school by 7:30 I started out the door I looked down and at my side as always Cooper was looking up at me. I took the time to sit on the floor and love on him until 7:45. I guess I just wanted to stay home to...

This wasn’t the day I had planned. I planned on creating many things that have been stuck in my head. I had all my supplies ready. Cleared my day of anything but studio time. Planned out lunch and dinner so I didn’t have to stop. All of the sudden things changed. My head is so heavy with thoughts other than creative thoughts. I’m sure you are thinking oh my what happened. Hang on and I’ll spill the beans in a...

Several times a month I get that call telling me there is a piece of furniture on the side of the road. Or my favorite call is “can you come get this stuff out of my garage”.

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.
