A Boy’s Room Navy Desk Transformation

I purchased this cute desk at a garage sale last weekend for $25.00. The desk is 42 years old...It has "good bones". It was made by the seller's grandfather. The chair was her old highchair cut down to fit the desk. I was shocked she didn't want to pass it…

Random stills…..

STILL PRETTY:I had the chance to go back into an old client's house the other day. We did many rooms in their house 5 years ago. The faux finishing industry has evolved so much in the last several years. So on occasion, I will see something we did years ago…

My sad fountain…

Ode to a ping pong wreath

Do y'all remember my beautiful wreath? Do you remember when last week I came home to this??

It isn’t always glamourous

Some of our jobs are just flat out, no bones about it.... tough. We had a tough job this week. It was a stairwell that our client wanted in a rough, crocodile-ish texture that we do. While that seemed great in theory.... it turned out to be much more difficult…
