History

Established in 1982.

It all began when I was a child getting bored with the traditional look of things! At age 10 I was taking apart my clothing and reusing the fabric to make little halter tops for myself and my friends. I remember in my teens, my parents were away and I was bored with my bedroom furniture. Well, that didn’t last very long because by the time they came home, I had already painted it another color! I can’t say they were happy about that, back then… but they knew there was no holding me back at that time! Everything I saw that bored me, I changed!

Through the years, I developed this talent I had been blessed with at birth, and opened my 1^st retail store. In my store I sold many different things I had given a new life to.

Well, it’s been 30 years since that 1^st little shop and I’m now doing this with my husband in the 6^th location we have opened! Passion for what we do is what it’s all about! The more you love and are passionate about what you do, the better the finished product!
