Rustic Live Edge Walnut Slab

Heart. The beating drum pumping life blood into all living organisms. Even wood! What you are witnessing above is the heart of a Walnut tree. I know this, because when my stain hits the heart of any tree, you see a beautiful purple hue.

Target Table Upcycle: Maple Top and Painted Base

So I just watched Cinderella and I freaking love that movie! How many of us need a fairy God Mother? I mean think about it, with the wave of a wand, you would have perfect hair, a sweet ride and best of all, a special pair of shoes that identify you. Of course, all that would fade at midnight, but it doesn't have to. Especially when the story is applied to this banged up Target table who underwent a Cinderella moment, to become a beautiful console with a brand new, real wood top.

Weathered Crate into Rolling Footstool

Hello, friends! Early last year, when I was just barley getting my business started, Wendy from Antebellum 1862 reached out to try my reactive wood stain. I told Wendy, as I tell everyone, that each wood species will turns its own color. But no matter how much I saw that, the DIYers who purchase my products use pine for everything. I get it! Pine is affordable and abundant. But it's not our prettiest colors. Meanwhile, the other half of my clientele uses every wood under the sun to get the color they are seeking.
