We all have an inner Marie Kondo hiding somewhere deep under the piles of laundry and overstacked dishes. As the plates from my takeaway dinner still patiently wait in the sink, I realize we all need some inspiration.

Original hand painting Special Order secretary desk. Everything in my shop has been up-cycled and previously owned. Once I discover them, they become my babies. With love and attentiveness, I make them desirable once more. Please expect some imperfections. I paint and work in my garage in Wine Country, Santa Rosa, CA; I am inspired by the French country/provincial styles and Annie Sloan, the chalk paint queen. My goal is to make everything in my shop unique for you with the original floral hand painting, wood applique, or gold leaf. And depending on the theme, sometimes, I use stencils to give them that rare character. I use organic Hemp seed oil to clean and naturally varnish inside the drawers and cabinets on the more oversized items. I use chalk paint, Annie Sloan clear and antique wax, acrylic paint, and gilding wax. Visible brush strokes and highlights created by the wax add to my babies' beauty and make them closer to the French country/provincial style. The gilding wax is applied by hand and isn't straight or regular lines. You can feel the floral designs under your fingers when you touch them. Sometimes, there is residual organic Hemp seed oil odor where it was applied.

As you can see in the graphic above, I’ve got a 2-car garage that I’ve turned into my woodshop, while leaving space for my wife to park inside. Even though it was laid out to allow for that parking, she usually parks outside so I’ve got more room for assembly. Not only that, we’ve got 3 kids and they tend to need space for their ...

Hello friends! I am soooo excited to finally be sharing my office makeover process with you!...
I joke about it often, but in all seriousness I have a tiny shop problem. I run my business out of a 10’x16′ detached garage that has gone from a scary, rat infested eyesore to a highly efficient inner sanctum. While most dad’s dream of turning a space like this into a man cave to…
