About Me:

I am a Registered Nurse Consultant since 2000 but worked in ICU's of 18 years oprior to becoming a consultant. I have always like interior design and gardening but since I move to NC 2 years ago I have learned how to repurpose, recycle and plant in zone 8 to include backyard fruits, vegetables and herbs. Now I am working on improving my techniques and expanding into sewing home improvement decor with the hope that once the economy improves that I can change careers. I am ready for the change to do the things I love!

Favorite area of home improvement:

Interior Design , with expansion into building basic planters and elevated garden beds, and tables, as well as sewing inteirior decorations, landscape and gardening.

    Google Annie Sloan Chalk paint and then you will be able to find distributors near you. If ...»
    they sell it they usually have classes or at least you will be able to ask questions. There is also a lot of videos on you tube. I love painting furniture and found out about this paint months ago and love it. I have not taken classess, I just asked a lot of questions. The paint is pricy but with one quart I completed a whole bedroom set, and it was worth every penny. This was very easy the paint is emperors silk with dark wax followed by clear wax. There is also anotherchalk paint that I am going to try in a few weeks I will post if I like it better. I am Good Luck.
