Up until the surprise pregnancy with baby #3, I worked for Creative Cabinets & Faux Finishes, learning to prep, paint, and glaze cabinets. I've taken that knowledge and training and used it to transform beat-up furniture finds into beautiful pieces. Now that people are asking me to paint for them, I thought making an online medium for my work would be a great way to "advertise".

Mirror & Dresser, Black distressed
I found a 4-piece set of furniture that consisted of a headboard, large dresser, side table, and mirror. This is the job where I learned not all furniture and paints are alike. For some reason I could not get the paint to adhere to this furniture. Even when I primed it with the 1-2-3 "it will stick to anything" primer, I still had problems with the paint peeling off. I literally painted these pieces 3 times. It was a good, but frustrating lesson. Expensive, quality paint is always worth it in the end.
