The Chair and the Box
I was able to fit in one last makeover before moving into the shop tomorrow. Remember this chair that I bought at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago? It was sturdy and had a pretty shape, but the blonde finish and the blue vinyl seat cover wasn’t doing this piece justice. (Nothing against blondes…I am […]
Winners and a Before & After
I have been flying through makeovers and have not stopped to take pictures of some of them…stupid, stupid, so I made sure I snapped a before picture of this stool. This before picture is horrible! It was late at night and I couldn’t get the white balance right, but it makes the after look even […]

Ironstone 101
I have received a lot of questions lately about ironstone, what it is, and how to identify it. I am certainly not an expert, but I have been collecting ironstone for about ten years now and I have a pretty large collection (I’ve lost count), so I know it when I see it. I remember reading a […]
