The Journey

Thanks for joining me!

I love painting furniture. Old furniture that is, mostly destined for the dump. Giving new life and beauty to discards is incredibly rewarding and frankly quite easy to do.

My journey started after I was laid off from my office job of 12 years. You’ve heard the term “blessing in disguise”, well that’s what it was for me. Little did I know it at the time.

I’ve always been creative. I studied dance and loved to paint when I was younger, so it’s no surprise that my creativity would resurface once the corporate culture wore off.

I actually started by fluke. I wanted a buffet for my dining room and I started by looking through the ads in Kijiji. There was something in common with all of the buffets that I found appealing: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. This was my first introduction to Annie Sloan so I googled the name and found tons of information about her paint and techniques. The thing that sparked my interest the most was how easy it was to use. Now I wasn’t looking for a finished piece, I was looking for a piece I could finish myself!

An so it began. This website is a new endeavour for me, so there are definitely a few things that can be improved upon. Stick with me while I iron out any bugs and I promise to take you on an interesting journey!
