If I were to have a cake celebrating this momentous landmark it would definitely be a topsy-turvy one.  Or, a broken down piece of furniture.


Seriously, what started out as self-imposed writing therapy has turned

friends and family who have shared the adventure with me.




Enough celebrating, let's get down to some serious Befores & Afters:

Even a little back alley apartment building can be transformed with paint and imagination:


 Thanks for visiting today.  Have a great weekend.

  2. That is interesting how they removed the kitchen cabinets to make it more roomy. I have not seen that done before. Love the thrift store couch.

  3. Oh I love the script couch! What was the name of the fabric you used. Also what is the paint color that you used to refinish the entertainment center?
