My Album

I spend my days, reviving and renewing previously loved, well worn pieces of furniture. It's amazing how everything these days is disposable. I look at the piece I'm about to makeover and think of how proud the original owner was when they got it, new and shiny. By the time I get most pieces they are scared from years of love, outdated by todays styles and headed for the land fills.

I take pride in what I do, knowing that someone is going to purchase my work and love it all over again. The furniture gets a second chance and will continue to make someone happy. It's pretty much a win-win for all.

This blog is going to be more of an album for me. I want to share my work with you and make myself a record of all the revivals. I have a few project from awhile ago with before and after photos, some just the completed. My goal is to remember (that's the key) to photograph the pieces before I start and show how each looks with a bit of TLC and some Chalk Paint.

Many of my projects are custom orders and not for sale. I'll post some of those as well, it's always fun to see how different things look with a new color and texture.

My Favorite Hutch. It was in perfect condition so working on it was wonderful. 

The photo doesn't do this justice. It's gently distressed and has a real
"Cottage Feel"
