Working for Knowledge & So Much More…

When I began refinishing furniture I first taught myself just how to paint. The skills I really needed were how to tone, strip, stain and seal furniture like a professional. Near the town where I lived there was a second generation woodworker. I used him to do all of my furniture repairs, and I had …

Painting & Blending

This antique chest of drawers had seen better days. The finish darkened over the years and although the piece was solid, it needed renewal. I used DIY Paint for this project. (I sell this product at my shop: it’s the BEST PAINT EVER.) I want to show how well it blended and held up without …

How I Built a Fireplace in My Home

I have wonderful memories from growing up in an old home in New Hampshire. It had a beautiful stone fireplace, and my family would sit next to it keeping warm and enjoying conversation. My parents (the real Santa) hung our stockings on the mantel each Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning it was so exciting to …

Barnwood is all the Rage

I must admit, I am hooked on barnwood. Of course, I love the way it looks; but I think it’s the history and ways it reminds you of the past that’s most interesting. It comes in so many colors and textures it’s hard to decide which one to buy. For example, there’s wood reclaimed from …

One of a Kind

One of my favorite things to do is to take a piece of furniture and transform its function.  What I mean is taking something designed for one use and transforming it for a new and different use. When you need something, in particular, you can take a piece of furniture and turn it into pretty …

Using Discarded Headboards for Candlestick Holders

In my experience, it is difficult to sell antique double beds (or even vintage beds, for that matter).  In the past, I’ve used some to make sitting benches.  But if you happen to have a lot of them, it’s fun to find creative ways to repurpose them. Most of the candlesticks you see here are …

To Paint Or Not To Paint

I asked my followers on Facebook what color I should paint a 1940’s dresser from my new paint line, DIY Paint. I received a lot of people giving color choices but I also received a lot of people saying I would ruin the piece if I put paint on it. Now, we all have our …
