Foggy Fall Morning

This is what I see many mornings on my way to work. Although sometimes hard to see while driving in this fog, I love the way it hovers on the ground & then the sunshine peaks through it. What a beautiful fall morning!

Grandpa's nightstand gets a makeover

This was a piece of furniture brought to me to redo. It is pretty old & I knew it would look great painted. The customer said it was her grandpa's & we know previously loved furniture is priceless. Here is the before & after. She plans to get new hardware so use your imagination.

Customer Request Completed

First of all, I have to say thank you to a previous customer for passing along my information to her friend. I really appreciate the referrals! This is a cabinet that has been painted several colors & crackled previously also. The request was to paint it red, then turquoise- distress it & then finish it with a black glaze. I am pleased with the dramatic difference. What do you think????

Girls Rule

Great memory from August 2003 at my baby shower for Evan. Thank you God for my mom & grandma- they have made me who I am today. They have taught me to be who I am & that I can do anything.

Lots of Curves...

I finally finished this beautiful, curvy dresser. She's quite graceful & a real "head turner." As I said beore, I fell in love with her when I spotted her about a month ago desperately needing some attention. I selfishly want to put this piece in my bedroom, but should probably sell it. I've really been out of sorts not getting to focus my attention on furniture redos since school is keeping me so busy. I can't wait for fall break next week. I have a couple of pieces waiting to be redone for someone & a couple of things I purchased waiting to sparkle as well!

Fall is my favorite. The beautiful leaves, pumpkins, cooler weather, & knee boots (adore the fall fashion) are always a welcome sight after our Oklahoma 100 degree weather. Oh ya, did I mention we had an earthquake this week? Tornadoes & now earthquakes??? What is one to do :)

Remember, October is breast cancer awareness month- do your self-exams & get your mammogram ladies!!!! I have to say thank you to my wonderful grandma for fighting this evil beast for 9 years. I miss you Granny. You taught me about courage, compassion & most of all unconditional love. I miss you everyday!!!!!
