I have so many people say to me their house is a wreck. They can’t decorate it because all their furniture is hand me downs. Another one, all my furniture is junk, not real wood so I can’t do anything with it. All of these statements can be corrected with not much money at all. Your home can be a place you love to live in and you are proud of. I’m gonna prove to you that you can redo...

Finally I got back into Greg’s office to finish up. I’m not a very patient person and being told to get out didn’t make me very happy. I also don’t like to be told what to do and that makes me crazy. I almost think Greg enjoyed me pacing outside of his office chomping at the bit to get back in. Mid-day Thursday I was given permission to finish up what I had started earlier in the week.

For My Sweet Heather

When Heather was a little girl she would quietly stand for hours next to me when I painted. She would ask me over and over again who I was painting for.
