Have you ever looked at something and seen it all of a sudden completely different? I sit in my snow room (which is like a sun room, but in Indiana it has snow outside more than sun) daily. It's my favorite room to drink morning coffee and wake up for the day. As things have slowly winded down with our Spoonful Studio and the days of it closing are nearing, I have found myself with more and more free time. One day, I was sitting there and looking at the same mantel that I have every other Continue Reading
Large Abstract Painting- enjoy the process
Do you ever have natural instincts towards something, but you can't always fully explain it until you keep learning in towards it!? Whew. That's a bit confusing. Let me explain.

It shows all Continue Reading
Painted School Lockers

Finally, I found these beauties that met my criteria for price and size and I quickly scooped them up. I knew exactly what I wanted. I knew exactly where I wanted them to go. I knew exactly how I wanted to use them. What I did not know however, was Continue Reading
DIY Floral Wallpaper
Have you shopped for wallpaper recently? I have, and it can be expensive! I shopped a variety of stores and even looked into the removable wallpaper, and I just couldn't stomach the price.
