bObi robotic vacuum review & giveaway
When someone sends you an e-mail asking if you would like to try out their robotic mop and vacuum, you say yes. You just do. Because it’s a robotic vacuum AND mop! Before I had the studio and I worked from home, I felt like I was able to keep the house cleaner, except when […]
grain sack dresser
Again! I don’t have a before picture for this piece. I am sure now that I took before pictures of a few pieces and then deleted them in my enthusiasm to keep my camera card uncluttered. That’s what I get for trying to be organized! So, you’ll just have to imagine the before. It was […]
the boxwood dresser

There has been a lot of activity at the studio and things have been pretty quiet at my house. I did rearrange the family room a few weeks ago, but otherwise, my house is just my house, which is a big change from how it was a couple of years ago. If I was at […]
the pink wardrobe gets a makeover…
Sometimes I wonder what possesses me to buy a piece of furniture! I see it on craigslist, usually late at night, and it seems like a good idea at the time, but then my dad delivers it to the studio and I realize I was, shall we say…optimistic. Such was the case with the wardrobe […]
