Stella & Dot Giveaway
I was a cleaning fool today. I have been a little lazy with my house work lately and I finally couldn’t take it anymore. It’s amazing how nice a space looks when it’s picked up and clean. It was a lot of work, but it’s oddly therapeutic for me and gets my creativity flowing. Anyway, […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
As I looked through the projects from last week, three jumped out at me almost immediately.

a poor paint job
I used to shudder at pieces of furniture that were poorly painted. Drips, major brush marks, streaks and chips. I felt like my paint job would only be as good as the previous paint job and I needed to sand it baby bottom smooth to make it right. Well, I have had a change of […]
