Lessons Learned

I've always loved shopping for vintage items and repurposing them. Now that I'm retired from 30 years of teaching I have the time to explore my passion.

I also create a variety personalized items!

Bonus piece I acquired yesterday when I picked up the corner cabinet. It is also available for customization! Would be perfect in a small space like a bathroom!

Just completed this piece and it is heading to The Tin Can for our October Market. This Lane cedar blanket chest was manufactured on March 19, 1951! It's older than me😳 The top and drawer were sanded to reveal the beautiful mahogany then sealed with several coats of poly. The remainder was painted with Heirloom Iron Gate (black) and new hardware was added.
