Furniture Feature Friday
Well, this will be our last FFF of 2012! I decided it would be good to take a break over the holidays, since most of us will be hanging with our families instead of painting in the garage. Some of the furniture addicts might sneak in some brush strokes here and there… If you do, […]
more christmas decorating
I’ll admit it. I was a bit of a loaf yesterday. I would try to get some work done, but I would end up standing in a room, staring around blankly. I finally surrendered to the fact that I was tired and just needed to chill. I watched some TV, worked on e-mails and just […]
Decorating for Christmas

A bit of France in Petaluma
Sorry I’ve been quiet the past couple of days, but it’s been a whirlwind that started when I woke up Tuesday at 3:00 am to get to the airport to fly to San Francisco for a day of workshops and book signings. It ended last night when we arrived home about 11:30 and crashed in […]
How to remove paint – part 2
I hope no one started a stripping project and then got stuck in the middle of it without part two of my video! 🙂 I finally had the chance to edit it. In this video, I’m using Strypeeze, a biodegradable chemical paint remover, mineral spirits, and a putty knife. All are available from your local […]
