Painting has become a big stress relief for me. I find such joy in starting with nothing and ending up with a nice piece of art to decorate my space with. It gives me this funny sense of pride, satisfaction. So, just recently, when I was having a pretty bad day, I pulled out my brushes and canvases to created
Updating an old lamp can be cost effective and fun. A friend of mine needed a refresh to her office and asked me to help her out. The original lamp shade was boring and worn.
