I’ve picked up some pretty nasty pieces of furniture on the side of the road. Most would look at me like I’m crazy and most of the time Greg does. Then I redo it and it turns out to be beautiful, functional and decorative. Then Greg and others are like WOW how do you think of those things to redo and reuse it. Really I can’t explain it, the idea’s just pop into my head and I just go for...

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.
