About Me:

I love cake decorating, arts and crafts, sewing, cooking gardening and most of all, my grandkids! My husband won't let me look at idea books because he always ends up having to help me with all my big ideas!

Favorite area of home improvement:

The garden is mypssion and my next big project is a couple of wedding cakes.

Repurposing & Upcycling: I have an art deco bedroom vanity I want to repurpose.

I had painted it a light green color (it was called celery) but now I want to go with a blue toile theme. It's my absolute favorite. I want to paint the overall vanity a cream color then do the accents in a periwinkle blue. I also want to add an accent of fabric on the drawers. Any input would be appreciated
