tv console.

This kitchen cabinet was attached to the ceiling before we remodeled.

I turned it upside down, painted it, added knobs and chubby legs.
Now it houses our DVD player.

ode to eve.

Eve, a college friend, frames interesting fabrics in her home.

I bought this material in Ghana.
Remembering Eve's home designs helped me know what to do with it.


ewwww.

Have you ever felt dirtier after your shower is over?
Thanks to some new caulking,

new skills.

The light fixture was from 1959.
The medicine cabinet was rotting from the inside out.
The walls needed alittle color.


 The faucets could use some work.


I learned to fix each issue.




annie sloan experiment.

 Oak cabinets needed updating.
I decided to see what Annie Sloan could do.
She didn't let me down.
