Hi friends! You may have noticed things have been quiet here, as I took some time to focus attention on family, myself and some home improvement projects. The months away from my page and painting has confirmed that it is time. Everything in life has a season and I’m at peace with this one coming to an end.
Seven years on this painting journey! It all began with a little washstand that was passed down to me from my grandmother. I painted and converted it to a “new” vanity for our main bathroom. We had just purchased a “fixer upper” house and I was repurposing wherever I could to save a few bucks. That was the spark that set this journey in motion. Since then- so much furniture! We’ve salvaged, painted and restored. Laughed and cried through a few (even cursed if I’m being honest! Lol). We updated decor items, learned how to make stencils and signs. Then we made more signs, DIY Kits, and held many fabulous workshops along the way. The most rewarding of all- the fundraisers. ❤️
Thank you all for being a part of this journey. I will always be grateful for the support and encouragement from so many! The ‘followers’ who have become dear friends, and virtual friendships that will be life long relationships.
It has been such a great experience to create and become Slightly Distressed. 🥰 I had no idea how therapeutic the painting process would be, and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of creativity that I didn’t even know was inside.
Thank you always, and Much love!
