I bought this dresser at an estate sale a few months ago. When I brought it to my studio I had already formed the beginnings of a great plan. As I started the process of sanding away the layers of paint my plan had to change. The story of this piece is a mystery but the final result lets your mind wonder on what the painter intended. As I took it apart and sat the drawers to the side I...

Daily people contact me to ask questions on how to redo a piece of furniture. I’ll message them back with my knowledge and hope that it is helpful. Sometimes I never hear from them again, sometimes I’ll get more messages and even a finished picture with a thank you.

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.
