Creative How-To Videos & More

Always trying to keep stuff from going into a landfill with occasional saving of items, but it became a save and refinish after a tornado threw a tree on our house. Over the pandemic the restoring and refinishing of items became a hobby. Then with more time at home I thought some how-to videos could help others do the same.
As part of the creative team at marketing firm 342Mad.com managing social media accounts, voiceovers, and blogs, I live in a thoughtful, online world and work from home. Prior to that, I worked in radio at iHeart Media - on-air, online, and behind the scenes. These videos are borne of the desire to expand my creative skills further and get out from behind the desk.
As I began repurposing found and used treasures for my home, my creative energy grew and with each successful project, the thrill of the end result compelled me to share. I hope you join me and try this at home. See before and after photos, and the goofs - the goal is to surround ourselves with beautiful pieces, experience the joy of accomplishment and the satisfaction of restoring, repurposing, recycling, and re-using home goods, clothes, furniture, art and more!
