Trash Trolling

One Pantry Box Done!

In my kitchen I have a very odd pantry. It’s like a very large closet that isn’t walk in but with lots of shelves that are tall. Then there is the odd open space at the bottom with no shelves there. If you want to use that space you have to sit stuff on the floor. GROSSSSSSSSSSS! That is just not gonna happen in my house. Things you use in your kitchen should not be sitting on the floor.

Can you imagine having twins? How fantastic would that be to have two children at once. I mean really that sweetness of raising two would be such a blessing and my friend Nicole got her blessing 3 years ago. These two little bundles of complete difference kick her day into high gear. I’ve spent time around both Boone and Harper and I’m telling you they are so special. Funny, smart and loving is the best way to describe them. Boone...

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...

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...

Todays crappy to happy is a bonus. I piled up 5 little items to show you how simple it is to change something from trash to recycled in just an afternoon. When I trash troll it’s not always a winning run. Sometimes you drive all over several neighborhoods and you get nothing. That isn’t the only way I gather things to redo. Friends give me things, I buy from auctions, thrift stores, estate sales and garage sale. The greatest thing...

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.
