March 11, 2015.Reading time 7 minutes.

The rush of excitement I experienced as a result of my first furniture painting (re)style project (described in my post A Fresh Coat of Paint for the New Year) has ignited my creative spirit and spurred in me a desire to do more with my paint brushes, paint and wax.

A Fresh Coat of Paint for the New Year

January 22, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

For the past several years I have obsessed and ruminated over what to do about the chairs around my dining room table. Too well made to throw out and orphaned from a previous formal dining table I decided their looks would improve with a fresh coat of paint. For those of you who follow this blog, […]

The Booker’s Dozen Favorites List

December 19, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

I have always enjoyed a good read. I have a preference for the non-commercial brand of books.
