Before and After.

Always happy to bring a family heirloom a new life.

When your friend text you and tells you she has some globes for you; you run like Forrest Gump.

Whoooo says a bookcase has to be boring.

7 ft bookcase with multiple shelves for your books and other home decor.

Whew...finally finishing a tv armoire converted into a clothing closet.

Client words were “please match my headboard and nightstands as much as possible.” Well when it’s factory created, you do your best to duplicate the look, and it took a few days to get it right.

When you have a happy customer, you know you got it right.

Old English flare to Boho Chic.

The fabric gave me the inspiration to create a boho hombre look on the legs. Although it was truly a challenging project, I love the new look

Clients love when they get their piece back and it’s a total overhaul from it’s original look.

Once you see the transformation of this beautiful dresser you are going to be amazed by Debi’s creativity!

I am a retailer for DIY paint, which is available at Vintage Back Roads. Debi has encouraged her team of vendors to step out of their comfort zone and start posting more on Facebook and to create a YouTube channel. It’s a work in progress, so stay tuned.

Have you ever felt like there is too much judgment in this world? I tell a story about being judged in my new video & I share how to make this with IOD - Iron Orchid Designs clay & DIY Paint💞https://youtu.be/cpTBzoSxXSo

Just like that it sold!

I added new life to a dull brown bookcase with soft Gravel Road DIY Paint, DIY white wax, and distressed paneled wallpaper.

It’s a great organization piece for books, pictures, or other knick knack items.

Total new makeover for a once loved dining table. It now has a new life and home.

A leaf was custom built to extend the table along with a table bench.

Time to organize the kiddos room. Create a great reading corner with this adjustable shelving bookcase.

When I first saw this hutch at a local thrift store I knew I had to take it home to renovate. I had no clue how time consuming it was going to be. After three weeks of hard work, I can say that I’m truly proud of the final product.
It is now on display at the Katy Home and Garden Show and ready to go to a new home.

Next project on the workshop floor (uhh my garage) this ugly 😝 kitchen hutch. A true makeover takeover is about to happen.

Stay tuned!

Meet my statement piece "Old Glory & Betsy Ross."
After a month of planning and executing my vision the final product is completed.
The desk sat in my garage for nearly a year. Then one day while trolling Pinterest an idea stood out to me to make it a washed out US flag. I started the process of sanding, then applying the chalk paint, refurbishing the hardware, and creating a US flag stencil. Well I could not just add any old chair to this desk. It needed a chair that would compliment its style. The chair was not an easy task, but after lots of trails and tribulations it transformed.
As much as I would love to keep it, I can't. I hope it's new owner will appreciate all the love that was put into it.
You can find it on sale at Vintage Back Roads.

Another project down today. This was a customer's trunk she wanted redone to serve as a coffee table and blanket storage.

She found it in Round Top and wanted it to remain vintage yet a little modern. It took some reconstructing with adding some bun feet and metal handles.

I am pleased with the final product. Hope she is too!

How have you been spending your summer?

Me just in my sweat box garage painting away and glazing furniture.

Posted are a few projects I've completed. I haven't even put a dent on what is on my to do list.

I'm back to painting again. Aaah...it feels great especially when you deliver it to the store and a customer walks in right behind you and purchases it on the spot.
