So a few months back a dear friend of mine, I’ll call her Sonya because that’s her real name bragged about a free bench she got. I was so jealous it was such a good find and I wanted it. Sonya told me it was covered in duck tape from top to bottom and it was. I wish I had the picture she sent me but it’s on the old phone that I dropped and killed. I don’t, so you...

Thursday was a great weather day here in Texas. Ethan watched me drag out all my fall and Thanksgiving decor. He waited to see what I was going to do with it all. When he saw me going outside to the front porch he was so eager to help me. We started by cleaning everything up and putting away all the spring things. He couldn’t understand why I had to do all that first. “Why can’t we just put out...

Everyone has such a busy life these days. Kids are involved in so many activities like dance, gymnastics, sports, music and so on. When I was a kid you had Brownies and Boy Scouts but if you were lucky you got to do sports. I know families that have multiple kids and each of those kids are involved at least 3 to 5 activities at a time. It makes my head spin to think of keeping up with that. The...

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...

It’s October and it’s time to get ready for the holiday season that’s just around the corner. This past weekend in Waco I found a jewel in the mix of all the junk stores I shopped at. When I first saw it I wasn’t sure what it was. When I opened the top I was so surprised but what a delight it was. I have never seen a wood ice bucket, have you? What a great find I thought, but...

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.
