I’ve always had a different way of looking at furniture, envisioning the beauty of imperfections and the appeal of moments in time worn. Just like the cozy familiarity of a well worn pair of faded jeans.

In our grandmothers' day, if a piece of furniture or a picture frame was distressed, it meant it had been around for generations and most of the paint had worn off in areas that had been rubbed by hands or nicked by being moved too many times. Today it can add character and is unique in that no two pieces are exactly the same and each tells a different story.

Furniture can be worn and weathered and be rejected just as we can become weathered with the storms of life and need to be restored. I want to lend a hand and turn a worn piece of furniture into something original and unique.

I have an appreciation for what is used, well loved, ragged and unkempt and a respect for natural evolution. My passion is to recreate a distressed finish as if it has been out in the elements for years, therefore, giving it the antique weathered look or refurbish old worn out pieces with color and artistic touches.

My inspiration comes from Isaiah 61. I get delight from taking ashes and transforming them into beauty. After raising a family and working in the professional field, I have embarked on the journey of my dreams by applying my creative talents.

Things that sparkle and shine.

I know a quote that says, "I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within."  Wow.  What true words.  At Pam's Beauty for Ashes, I know that we as women, can have both!  We use wisdom and compassion to form our character and pray for God to grant us fortune that we may serve and give.  Jewelry and clothing can be a fun way to celebrate the individual beauty and personality that God has grown inside of every one of us!  That is why I strive to find unique pieces that fit into a variety of lifestyles. 
Here are a few of my new things...

Beauty you can wear!

We don't have to save beauty for our homes.  It can be found in the slight sparkle of a necklace, the way that perfect shirt makes you feel or that shade of lipstick that perks up your look.  One of my favorite things is beauty you can wear!  I love the pieces that are just a bit unexpected.  You know, the ones other people admire and ask, "Hey, where did you get that?"
