I am a lover of everything old and the history behind it. When I see it I only envision what it could be. I use chalk, chalk & clay and milk paints to transform a tired, dreary antique into a “one of a kind” beauty! Like my page on Facebook to see what I am doing from day to day. Each piece has been carefully designed for todays modern home. If you are eclectic, then you will love my collection.

Sharing Knowledge
I haven’t been on my blog in a while now, so I thought I would pop in and say hello and tell you about my latest news. Working with dark waxes and stains are sometimes tricky, so I am always open to new ways to improve and perfect my techniques. I met an old pro a while back (in painting, not age) that gave me some great advice on how to work with my dark waxes and aging techniques and I tried it on a table this past weekend and it is an amazing transformation!! I just stood back and said “wow”, I love it!! I have learned that a confident successful artist is always happy to share some of their knowledge with others. Of course, if you are in the business it is never wise to share everything you know. I am so excited to use my “new” knowledge on so many more pieces. Stop by my shop at Southern Estates Antiques and let me know what you think. Here is a few pictures …….. I tried to get a close up but you still can’t really see the richness of the colors from the photo’s.
