I just absolutely love what I do. How in the world did I fall into this amazing little business. For my 50th birthday present my daughter gave me my very own blog. She made it so easy by setting it up. All I have to do is pretty much type and hit a few buttons and it all goes out. That is the easy part it’s the other part that keeps me awake at night. When I do sleep I...

I made a pile of 2 old chairs, 2 old boards, the top of a dresser and a head-board. Well now that is a pile of stuff. The outcome of all these pieces put together is amazing. I’m in love with this piece and what an impact it can make to any home.

On Saturday I announced that I would be telling a big secret at Doc Holliday’s. The plan was made ready on Thursday and all was going to plan when we hit a snag.

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.
