I remember the day when blogging was how you shared your story. Then social media came along……and everything changed. Social media allows relationships to be formed….and where relationships exist….so do questions….lots and lots of questions. Today I will share with you the five most asked questions as well as my answers! I have a feeling that one […]
Piano armoire guided by my mother’s memory
Sometimes a client comes along with a furniture request that I just NEED. Not a business need or a financial need……but a NEED from my soul. This was this client….and this piano armoire was the project. She delivered (well actually….she’s not local so her niece delivered it) a boring and plain “blank canvas” armoire to […]
Chinese Bombay nightstands in gorgeous soft blue & gold
Bombay chests are all the rage….and quite honestly, I believe they always have been. There is something very attractive about the stout stature and fully bellied storage. They are most often covered with detail and carvings which add to their appeal. These Chinese Bombay nightstands are a perfect example of this… My client asked for […]
Faux crocodile nightstands with two NEW techniques
This swanky pair of mid-century modern nightstands didn’t get this fabulous in a day! In fact, it took several weeks of “processes”….but it was so worth it…ending with these gorgeous faux crocodile patterned pieces of art! My client specifically asked for these to be re-dressed in a white, grey, and a mix of metals. Her […]
Painted TV trays: a personalized gift idea!
I’ve had many requests over the years for a set of painted TV trays but I never stopped and took the time to actually make it happen. This time….I did. My client ordered both a gumball machine AND this TV tray as a Christmas gift for her daughter. I really feel the TV trays, individually […]
Red jewelry armoire with the perfect design transfer

Whimsical Gold Leaf Mirror with a punch of color
I held onto this mirror for months in hopes that I would be able to incorporate it into my own home. I knew without a doubt that it offered so much opportunity to express my love for whimsy and over the top finishes…..EVEN THOUGH…. it offered very limited surface space to actually paint. After much […]
Modern nursery with an urban feel
It’s always an honor to help a family create a beautiful new space for a new baby. It’s the biggest honor of all…..when that baby is my grandbaby. My family….my kids and their spouses…..are so kind to always include me in the nursery design process…..and I am forever thankful for their thoughtfulness and consideration of my […]
Painted knife block: from boring to show-stopper
This is not my first fancy painted knife block….but I can say it is both the easiest and my favorite!! This knife block was updated with the use of just paint and a single mold! Why is this easier than my other knife block projects? Because I didn’t spend the time or energy making all […]
Black Bombay chest with a smooth gator hide finish
Sometimes….if I’m lucky….I get to create multiple pieces of furniture for the same client over the course of several years. This time…..I got to paint the same piece of furniture AGAIN….for the same client….after several years! Did you follow that? Same client > same piece > new color. Let me show you how I completed […]
