Getting Barnwood Look with Gravity Sprayer

Ok, so as you all know, I invented, "Weatherwood." It's an earth friendly product that does 2 things really, really well. 

1) I reduce labor time dramatically. To get a similar look, you can use petroleum products, but you have to wait for the primer to cure. The coats of paint, and then you have to use glazes. The total labor time is typically around 80 hours and although you might get close to the look, you will never get all the grain to show through. 

2) Because ours is a one step process, you only have to buy one product. You don't need to buy paints, glazes, primers, or dyes. It's one and done. So I dramatically reduce material costs.

Nautical Pine Desk Makeover

Hey lovely ladies! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, or Happy Which-Ever-Holiday-You-Celebrate. I spent Christmas with my cousins in Florida this year. Now we are at Coco Beach, Fla this week for my birthday, which is the day after Christmas. That usually makes it hard to get away each year, but this time we took off to the coast for a mini-vacay. Today's makeover comes from a professional furniture rescuer, Refind Design by Coco Claire.

Driftwood Gray Shiplap Tutorial

Hull-oh everybody! I just read Peter & Wendy by J.M. Barrie. It was such a magical and amazing story! The thing that sticks out to me the most is the way they say, "Hello." "Hull-oh." So anyways, I've been thinking happy thoughts lately and I can feel myself getting covered in the pixie dust that makes imaginations fly. But don't forget, you must think of a "happy thought" to fly. So get ready for my happy thought.
