Friends, today is my 31st birthday! Every year on this day, I take hard look at my life. I long for every year that the Lord gives me to bring hope and joy to the people around me. Thus, each year…

Lady in teal... is dancing with me. Cheek to cheek. Seems appropriate for this makeover... a retro design cheek to cheek with a fancy little lady in teal. We have been busy... a word that seems like an understatement. We…

Hello friends!  Last week this girl turned 5. I can't believe it!! I really, really can't. She's a quality time little girl (I don't know where she got that from??). ;) I love spending time with her. For realz. She…

Have you ever walked into someone's house or a restaurant and thought... man, I'm out of my league? Should I take my shoes off or do they not want my sweaty feet on their cow hide rug? Which fork am…

It's been a great week here at our house. The best kind of week! Some may want their kids to be rich and live a care free life, others want them to be cute, popular and good in sports. I…

 Hi Friends!  Once upon a time there was a lady named Jessica, Jessica with the curly auburn hair.  She came to my house for the first time to look at customizing the Teal Mid Century Library that we had on our Upcoming…

Hi Friends! How's it going? We're enjoying such beautiful weather here in upstate NY! It's been great to work in the sunshine and have very few rainy days causing paint dripping and long drying times. If you missed our mid week post…

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…

Hi Friends! Summer colds... that's the banner that we're raising this week and it may not be a banner... it may be the red flag of defeat.  Why does it seem like summer colds never end? That being said, a…

Hi Friends! How's it going? It's been quite the week over here! We've survived our first week of no school for my kids and still running a business full time. Last year at this time FunCycled was just part time…

Hi Friends, It's been a SUUPER busy week here so I'm keeping things simple on today's Tuesday's Treasures. Even though purple is my least favorite choice on the color wheel, when Stephanie reached out to us asking to bring some of…

Hi Friends! Who had a great Mother's Day? I hope you all did! Whether mother, daughter, or "2nd moms" - thanks to all the ladies who serve without recognition and love without measure. Here's a quote that I keep on the inside of…

Hi Friends! How is everything going? We had a fun week here with the T-Ball starting!! It's Sweetie's first year and she may or may not have hit the ball and run to 3rd base instead of 1st on her…

Some of you may look at a dresser like this week's Tuesday's Treasures and think it needs to be sent to the curb. Sometimes I think that, too, but in this case I knew that this could be beautiful!! I've…
