Hi, my name is Jana I live in Houston, Texas with my wonderful husband, Warren, and two beautiful kids, Alex and Megan. I am also expecting our third baby in March.

I love to decorate and redecorate and I absolutely love a great deal, I scour thrift stores, Craigslist, and eBay in search of bargains, mainly on old antique furniture that I can give a new facelift to. This process I refer to as "Junkin'" I enjoy finding a great bargain on a piece of old well made solid wood furniture, and updating it with new stain or a new coat of paint to update it and find a place for it to live, maybe even a new purpose for an old piece, this I call "repurposing".

I am starting this blog to share my purchases, designs and creations, as well as to learn new techniques for refinishing furniture, reupholstering, and repurposing from others.

Feel free to drop me a line, and let me know your techniques, tips and tricks, as well as certain types of brushes, stains, paints, sealants, etc to look for or to stay away from.

I have no formal training in any of this at all, it's just something I love doing.
