Kathy
I’ve been creating, painting, and reinventing old stuff for as long as I can remember. I enjoy decorating my home with the things I paint and create. I also decorate with treasures I find on junking trips. My favorite shopping spots are junk stores, flea markets, and salvage yards,
My DIY projects have been featured on the Home Depot Blog, Plaid Crafts, Behr Designer Series, and numerous magazines. And my favorite part is sharing with you guys, reading your comments, and becoming friends.
