More Mustard Seed Creations
I have a ton of projects that are in the works, but none of them are completed for me to show you. I should have new before & after pics in a couple of days. Until then, I wanted to share some pictures of some of my painted furniture with you. I did most of […]
Artist Brushes on a Budget
When I first got into decorative painting about 9 years ago, I went out and dropped about $150 on all kinds of brushes, most of which I have never used. I really didn’t know what to buy and I went on recommendations from books and what I thought I might use. I wanted to share […]
Saturday Morning Finds!
Well, I headed out this morning…it was gray and chilly, so I didn’t have high hopes. Today was a good reminder to me that you just never know what treasures you’re going to find when you head out on a Saturday morning. I didn’t actually find the dresser this morning, but it was an $8.00 […]

Paint free before & after
You don’t always need to paint a piece of furniture…sometimes it just needs a little love. This chair was a $4.00 auction buy that looked like it had been stored in a shed or barn. It was rough and dirty, but you see what a pretty chair it could be. So, I sanded it with […]
