Kathy Owen | Author | Petticoat Junktion
Petticoat Junktion® is a home decor blog founded in 2011 to share tutorials on painting furniture and upcycling thrifty finds. Over the years, our interests have evolved to include home improvement projects, home decorating ideas, and the occasional family recipes and travel experiences.
My name is Kathy, and 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 aspect of blogging is sharing with you guys, reading your comments, and becoming friends.

I love hearing from my readers. When I started the site, I had no idea how many people loved to DIY and how many questions I would get. I read every email and website comment and respond to as many as time allows. Email: Kathy@petticoatjunktion.com
