reDONE


One thing I love to do is refinish furniture. I sometimes find pieces in the trash, take hand me downs or are given pieces.  Alot of times items of real value are tossed and I am just glad I am there to rescue some of them.


My friend Christina Escalante gave me this piece. It was a yellow-brownish color. The knobs were brass. My dad and I painted the under coat yellow and top coat gray, then used steel wool to give it the DISTRESSED look. The knobs were replaced by knobs found at Anthropolgy. This is my nightstand
This is Jim's nightstand, it was brown. My dad painted it solid gray and I replaced the knob with one from Anthropolgy.
I love the knob.....

Jim took these, because I was getting frustrated. And YES, this is pretty much what I wear EVERYDAY.

ryan's ROOM

This cabinet has been in the family for generations, my father painted it green upon my request. It will serve as Ryan's dresser. The rocking chair belong to Jim's mother, the butterfly pillow was made by me in high school in Ms. Henderson's class, it is a Batik.

There are many baskets in the cabinet to keep her things organized. My sister got me that card right before I found out I was pregnant and thought the world was ending. The pink item is a vintage hat and sweater worn and given to me by a dear friend, SJD.

WEBBER sisters 2

We were just having fun with Jazzy's tu-tu.  I loved it.  And their mom, Sam got it specially made for Jazzy's first birthday.

Julia and Jazzy  




juliaWEBBER is five

Oh Julia, she is a sweetheart.  She is a very outspoken 5 year-old. And it seems she knows what she wants and if she doesn't know, she has no problem finding out the answer.  I always have fun photographing her.  She loves the camera and the camera loves her.


kylie TURNS 10

 So this is Kylie's 10th birthday. It is an extremly important occasion for her, her family and friends.  Being that Kylie isn't into the party scene, her parents thought it would be fun to celebrate with all the people that have supported them through the years to this special day.
A homemade cards rule.  And so does her mom.

Kylie and her sister would rather lounge on the floor than hangout with the guest.
