Well God certainly does answer prayer! Kate has really come into her own in recent years, and I absolutely love her creativity and style!

This is one of the smaller
bookcases before we painted.

Last spring when I was there she talked me into helping her paint their dark bookcases white - quite a project because she had a lot of bookcases since they sell books online - but boy did they turn out great!
Here are a few before and afters.

One of the things I really chuckle about is her ability to recognize potential in throw-away pieces. She is constantly spying things by the side of the road in Baton Rouge, picking them up, and breathing new life into them . . . like this great old piece with a hole in the back! She popped out the back, painted it yellow, and added some baskets. Voila!
A few weeks ago she was driving down the street and a guy was putting this great old, well-used desk at the side of the road. She screeched to a halt and told him she was interested if he was really getting rid of it. He said yes and even popped it into his truck and delivered it for her! Ha! That's my girl! So this week she decided the desk would join her white bookcases . . . .
Go Kate go!
I love it!
