It’s been many months since I’ve painted. My canvases were sitting in a corner idle, collecting dust….until this past weekend. I decided to pull them away from their loneliness and break open a few containers of paint. I saw this technique on Facebook…or Pinterest…(or some other social media site) where the artist used painter’s tape to create a design. So, I

How beautiful are these chairs??!! Aren’t they simply amazing? I instantly fell in love with them on a recent furniture shopping expedition. I was intent on finding new bedroom furniture for my master suite, but suddenly became distracted with these beauties. In case you didn’t know, I’m a writer.
