A while back I got this black hutch. I didn’t really pay too much attention to the condition apparently. So when someone decided they wanted to buy this cute little hutch, I started to get it ready for paint and it was a mess!! Seriously – this thing had at least 10 different paint colors […]
> I have had lots of emails in the last week since being on the Nate Show about my son Kdins curtains. So I thought I would do a quick post about how I did them. I will be back to show the rest of his room soon – its one of my favorite rooms […]

> This is a little 411 on how to make some new wood look old – or in my case my old wood look old again. I sanded down my craft table with a palm sander to get all the potential slivers away and i was left with a table that had a “fresh wood” […]
