Kari’s Cabinets Re-invented – Painted Entertainment Center

Remember I wrote how I’ve been a painting phenom of late? One of the (many) projects that was included in the malay of pieces that needed refinishing was a ginormous entertainment unit that belonged to my friend Kari. I only have one before photo to show off, and it isn’t of the entire unit (sorry […]
DIY Christmas Decor – Wooden Horse

I’ve been scrambling over the past week with an exciting project – exciting for me anyways – I’ve recently been interviewed for London’s LifeStyle Magazine!

What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day – Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

I look forward to Mother’s Day. It’s the one day a year when your family (should) acknowledge/s your efforts and sacrifices. I think that’s what the day is really about – what most days should be about really – acknowledging and being grateful for those around you that contribute to your health, happiness and well-being.
