I often troll the online garage sales for cheap items to redo. Sometimes I’m lucky and sometimes not so much. I’ve been trying to find a telephone table like from the 50″s. They are the cutest things and have so much potential to be recycled into something more usable today. On our way back from Waco and weekend travels I came across just such telephone table for next to nothing. The lady had already refurbished it by painting it teal...

Do you have a dog? I do I have 2 and they mean the world to me. I hear people say they aren’t dog people or I have a dog but if it died I would be okay. When I get an animal it is forever till death do we part. I sometimes feel I need a dog around me to make life good. The love of a dog is unconditional. That is love we all need no conditions just...

Then things got really out of control when we went to California on a wine tour with Janice...

What ever you keep by your door it needs to be organized not only for entering guest but for you and your family. At my front door there is an old hall tree. Greg and I bought it on one of our estate sale Saturday morning runs. I love it because it is functional and decorative...

Lots of times when I’m out trash trolling I come across a piece or two that are in really bad shape. At that point I’m not trash trolling I’m in rescue mode. I get out my handy screw driver and remove any and all parts that I can salvage into another project. On a Wednesday morning trash troll I found this old sewing cabinet. It was heavy and needed way more repairs than it was worth. I was lucky it...

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.
