Now that the cleaning is finished, the next step is scuff sanding!

Scuff sanding is an important part of the painting process because without it, the paint might chip away.

Here’s how I scuff sand a giant piece like this armoire!

Last week, we lost an amazing woman. Gloria Steinem has always been a huge inspiration throughout my life and I have fought the good fight alongside her, but I’m hopeful our grandchildren will carry on her legacy!

What's the first thing you should ALWAYS do before painting a vintage piece? Clean it!
In this video, I go through my process and materials when cleaning a wood piece like this massive armoire.

This quote means a lot to me as I’m entering into my 8th decade because you are never too old to start anew.

I had a dream to not just paint, but to inspire others of ALL ages to do what they love.

My Granddaughter, Zelda, made this adorable sign for me back on Mother's Day and I've been waiting for the day when I can put it up! So blessed to have amazing family supporting my small business 🥰

We had some woodland critters visit the art studio while we were getting it ready! Mama and baby were so sweet and curious. Maybe they'll be an inspiration for a piece one day.
