About Me:
I have a creative itch that has to be scratched or it will drive me nuts.;) I have studied interior design and landscape design. I am a master gardener. I split my time between Michigan and Texas and have the best of both worlds.
Favorite area of home improvement:
I can't think of a favorite, I have done them all. I see it, think it, or hear about I have to try it. I have refurbed 6 houses now and think I'm done. Getting too old for this, but I love to see others creations.

Framing Lace
I love to sandwich lace between two layers of glass.I bought this frame for less than one dollar and paid less than two for the glass. The glass allows the paint color to show through and the lace pops.

Framed prints, a yard sale find.
I found these prints of Paris and London at a yard sale for $1.00 each. SCORE!!! I took them to Hobby Lobby during a 50% off sale and had them matted and framed. They make a large statement on my living room wall for little investment, and they remind me of my time there :) I smile everytime I look at them.
