If I had to choose two words to describe the progress of April, it would be “intentionally focused.” After feeling off track from a crazed schedule in the month of March, I was able to recharge while still managing to accomplish my goals this month.

A few weeks ago, I was so tired I couldn’t even get it together. After spending multiple weeks of blogging, painting, hauling, cleaning and searching for treasures I found myself feeling creatively empty. A few days later, I received the book Love the Home You Have in the mail.
With the workbench turned potting station completed, I turned my attention to painting the mobile workstation I brought home on the same weekend I brought home the workbench. I really like the simplicity of how the workbench turned out and I know my customers will as well. It was my inspiration for the workstation but it didn’t start out this way at all.
I’ve teamed with up with four other blogs to bring you a pre-Mother’s Day Family Recipe Swap. At least once a week, my Mom would bake cookies and these chocolate chip cookies were my favorite.
One of my favorite memories with my sisters happened a few years ago. My middle sister hosted a Kentucky Derby Party that everyone still talks about. We searched for months to find just the right hat and outfit. As soon as I saw the roses in full bloom right outside my office window this morning I started thinking about how that event inspired my Kentucky Derby Inspired Mantle.

Sometimes I’m so busy painting china cabinets, buffets and dressers I don’t have time to paint smaller inventory items. These pieces don’t bring a lot of profit but they’re important in helping to achieve a certain look in my booth space. I usually squirrel these pieces away in my office or inventory closet until an opportunity presents itself and I’m able to paint a group of smaller items all at once.
One of the first pieces of painted furniture I ever transformed and sold came from one of my aunts. She found this table while out treasure hunting for me one day. It’s painted in one of my favorite colors by Valspar and is a beautiful shade of turquoise blue.
I found this chair at a thrift store a few years ago. I recovered the seat cushion with drop cloth and hand painted the grain sack inspired stripes down the center. Two years, later I’m happy to report the chair is still holding up well.

When I spotted this workbench it was weathered, beat up and covered with bits of garden inventory. I had no idea what size it was or how much it even cost. But I knew it would make a great potting station and was inspired by the many worn signs I’ve seen lately created from reclaimed wood that read Herboriste.
