I’m inspired by bright lacquered animal statues and figurines…
Designer Miguel Palacio has something in common with me. We both have animal statues. Mine are a panther and elephant. In giving my old decor new life, I spraypainted mine.

Before and Afters of my latest client…

Before & Afters with Mr. Goodwill Hunting…
I first learned about him while watching Nate Berkus and found his blog & became a fan. Sometimes all it takes is a lil bit of elbow grease to make something fabulous and bring life back into a piece. It’s the most cost effective way to make a lot of bang on a buck. So…
