Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you're enjoying celebrating the birth of our fabulous country here in the US. My family will be celebrating this coming weekend with a pool party, so I spent the day working on several projects and enjoyed the fact that Marc was home...
Pop Up Shop Leftovers
It's funny...when I typed out the title of this blog post, all I could think of were popovers and then I got hungry! The Pop Up Shop that I held at my home workshop this weekend is all finished and I wanted to take some time to show you what I had for sale and give you a recap of how the day...
Something For Me
In the course of doing commissioned pieces, I sometimes find myself needing to do a small side project to keep my creative juices flowing - a project that's a little something for me where I can be creative and not follow an exact plan. That's precisely the purpose of this little...
After the Market
While the house is quiet, I thought I would gather my thoughts while they're fresh and talk to all of you about how the Spring Barn Market went yesterday! I had such a great day and there's so much to share. I also want to let you know what's left over, so let's do this! Faith &...
Round Oak Table
I've been working on an old round oak table with a pedestal bottom and a set of four chairs for a while now, and I'm happy to report that the set is finally finished! That makes two antique oak tables that I've refinished this year. The second one was done earlier and is currently available...

I am soooo excited to share this furniture makeover with you today, because it's the first retail piece I've painted with General Finishes Milk Paint! Now I've painted several pieces with GF Milk Paint before, but this is the first piece that is totally 100% GF products all the way...
Amandaa’s Jacobean Buffet
During my last live demonstration at Morgantown Market, I met up with a super sweet customer named Amandaa. She was on the hunt for a large storage piece in her home, and I had a perfect option in mind. After the demonstration came to a good stopping point, we snuck away and I...
What is General Finishes Milk Paint?
Last week was incredibly busy! On Friday, we met a delivery truck over at Morgantown Market to receive my opening order of General Finishes products. We unpacked it and set up my new display in my antique booth. I'm so proud and excited to be...
The Milk Paint Girl
I have two fun pieces of news to share with all of you today, and I'm so darn excited! First, let's start off with my latest furniture makeover - this gorgeous depression era dresser! I bought this piece off of Facebook Marketplace. It was solid and had really beautiful...
Victorian Writing Desk
About a month ago, I visited a new antique place that was highly recommended to me by a few people. You know if more than 2 or 3 people tell you that it's worth it, then it's probably awesome. Well, I'm happy to report that the place WAS awesome and I plan to go back as soon as I'm in...
Bergere Milk Painted Washstand
A few weeks ago, I went to a local auction and purchased this oak washstand. I actually shouldn't have bid on it because a friend of mine wanted it, which I completely forgot about! I did offer to sell it to him, but he was kind enough to let me take it home and refinish it. And let's...
