I’ve picked up some pretty nasty pieces of furniture on the side of the road. Most would look at me like I’m crazy and most of the time Greg does. Then I redo it and it turns out to be beautiful, functional and decorative. Then Greg and others are like WOW how do you think of those things to redo and reuse it. Really I can’t explain it, the idea’s just pop into my head and I just go for...

For the past 7 years of 11 years I’ve been at Wylie Prep we have done the chair project. Our 6th through 12th graders in art are given a chair and told the rule is there are no rules. I just ask that they use at least 25% of the chair. Other than that they are allowed to do what ever they want to it. We have had so many different things returned for the art show in April. Some...

I should have deleted this blog and not let anyone know about this piece I just finished. It is so beautiful and looks amazing at the end of my bed. When Heather ask me for a bench for her bedroom I dug this bench out of my storage shed. It was so ugly and looked so 80’s/90’s. I mean rally light greenish velvet with a button back. Not the style she is going for in her home. I had a...

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.
