Often when we go to clients'  homes to deliver furniture or when we meet new people, they will ask what our business is. When we tell them refinishing and painting furniture, color consults, design and interior painting. They are usually surprised, especially…

Hi Friends! If you've been on Pinterest or googled "porch swing images", you've probably seen beds turned into a porch swing. I saw one years ago and fell in love. I wanted a porch swing made from an old bed…

Hi Friends!! Around this time last year, I did a post about Red, White and Blue Furniture. So I thought today might be a good day to do another Red, White and Blue post - take 2! It's fun looking back to see…
