Have you thanked a Veteran today?

I found this cabinet door and decided to turn it into a chalkboard sign for my son's teacher. I painted the center with chalkboard paint, then painted on the red, and finally added a black glaze. I also added sawtooth picture hangers to the back. I hope she loves it! She's a wonderful teacher & role model for my oldest son. She planned the Veterans' Day assembly & it was a wonderful way to honor those that have protected our FREEDOM! Remember, Freedom isn't free! Thank you for all you do Mrs. Tinsley!!!

Armoire make-over

Somehow this got deleted from my blog, so here is the thrift store armoire that I found this summer. It was a real find- heavy, made by drexel with retro lattice doors. I found some really pretty cream colored fabric with turquoise, green, and pink flowers to put behind the doors. I was very pleased with the finished product- what a transformation... another piece just waiting to sparkle!

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.
