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.

HOW TO LEAVE A BLOG COMMENT
I have had some questions about how to leave a comment on a blog.
If you will scroll down to the bottom of the blog, right after the text, there is a place that will say 1 comment or 4 comments depending on how many comments there are. (It is on the right-hand side.) Click on the words and it will take you to a page where you can comment. Under the comment box there is a pull-down list of ways you can sign in to comment. Simply click on Anonymous to leave a comment if you don't have a Google account. Be sure to leave your name somewhere in the comment so that I know who you are! Hope this helps!
