Painting the Dining Chairs
I have been looking for a sturdy pair of oval back chairs to use in my dining room for years. They were always too expensive or too rickety for practical, regular use. So, I was ready to buy some from Restoration Hardware, but the day I was planning to press the “purchase” button, I found […]
Mustard Seed Yellow Photo Shoot
Today I’m trying to get back into the groove after being under the weather last week. I’m still stuffy and dragging a bit, but I managed to get some things done. One of the projects I worked on this afternoon was a photo shoot of one of my milk paint colors. I thought it would […]
the joy of painting to sell
I’m often asked if it’s hard to sell pieces I’ve painted. Sometimes it is, yes, but there is a real freedom in it, too. I don’t have to force a piece to work with my existing decor. I can paint it in whatever color, finish, design, pattern, style I want. Every piece is then a […]

When I got home, I handed out candy and got the cold, wet little boys in their jammies. My youngest was wearing a Spiderman costume with fake polyfil muscles and it cracked me up. Our […]
