Thanks! I can't put it into words how much I enjoy this. Many of these objects would have ended up in a landfill somewhere. I love taking old pieces of furniture that you know has history and give it new life. Putting on that first coat of paint is so rewarding! A few items I've ended up selling only because I couldn't find space, or a good use, in the house. I usually make a decent penny on those.

I love that animal print chair and the cedar chest! Very talented!

Here's a blanket my wife just finished a couple of days ago.




She's finalizing some embroidery work for my racing team logo then I'll have an "official" race team shirt.

I am currently re-painting my main floor and the hubby is going to rip out the carpet and replace it with slate. We are tearing the carpet upstairs out and replacing that with tile. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats and carpet is just a pain to keep clean with mud and such.

She did a beautiful job!

I'm starting small. We did paint some rooms here and there, but for true DIY, I just bought a pair of candlestick lamps from Goodwill. They are god-awful pink. I'm going to paint them with a brushed nickel paint, then try to find some nice lampshades. I may even get fancy and re-wire them with black cords instead of the white on them. We'll see.
