My leap into painting furniture for resell began in Pensacola, Florida. I rented a booth at Alyssa’s Antique Depot in Pace, Fl and I continued my painting and junkin’ when we returned to Tennessee.
My Blog life began in May of 2011. My friend Kendall started me on the basics of setting up a blog and I went from there. My husband once told Kendall she created a monster. Blogging is a full time job and I kind of have a love/hate relationship with it. I love sharing pictures of my projects and posting tutorials, but I really hate to write. Weird huh!
I worked for over 35 years in the medical profession. When the laboratory I worked at closed in 2013 I finally finished my college degree at the age of 62. Double major with a 3.6 grade average. As you guys can probably tell I didn’t major in English or Writing.
My loving husband is a 26 year Army veteran. I have 2 grown children, a beautiful daughter-in-law, a fabulous son-in-law, and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
Our Home Where Everything Is Not Perfect
Home decor doesn’t have to break the bank. The projects that make our home warm and inviting are budget friendly and easy for any homeowner to duplicate.
We do everything from painting shutters and metal storm doors to hanging inexpensive white pillowcases as curtains.
