My favorite time of the year is summer. That is one of the great things about living in Texas. I like the temperature above 85 degrees. Yes that is what I said above 85 and to tell the truth I love when it’s 95 to 100. Summer is all about sun, pool, BBQ’s, family and friends. I love to have an impromptu pool party. So having things ready for the season is important. It takes us about 2 weeks to...

My name is LaTonya and I have addiction to casters. If you can put a caster on it then do. I have created many pieces on this blog and by far my favorite pieces are the ones that move.

My passion for creating runs deep in me. My soul needs to create to feed that passion. Without my...

So far I haven’t found anything that I can’t redo, reuse or recycle. If you think long enough and hard enough you will find away to make it work. Feel free to email me pictures of items you have and want to redo but have no clue where to start. I can toss out a few ideas and maybe one or two will work for you. As I was blogging this my dear friend Stephanie sent me a picture of...

At an Estate sale just a few weeks ago we bought a trunk. It was really ugly, all the hardware was rusted and it smelled. I could tell it was old because it was wood. The same style trunk today is a thin press wood. The inside had been line with really ugly fabric. Everything at the sale was marked down to 75% off so I took a chance. When we got home Greg put it in my studio and...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
