Relic Home Goods

Thank you for visiting my page.  

Thanks to some people dear to me, I developed  an appreciation for old things, vintage, handmade, craftsmanship, creativity, and the joy that comes from finishing or fixing something on my own.  During college I took a trip to my uncle’s cabinet shop to work on a project, and that was my first time playing with the big tools.  I loved it, but didn’t realize just how much until fairly recently. 

I love color, but try hard not to use paint on antiques.  I don’t have a particular style, and tend to sit with pieces a while before starting on them.  I often change direction mid-piece for any number of reasons, including happy accidents, curiousity killing my cat (happens far more than I’d care to admit), or newly discovered debacles (like I sand down to bare wood only to discover a burn mark, for example).  

I always have a project or twelve, and am waiting for the hubs to tell me to move out and take my projects with, but alas (and luckily) he’s too kind to do so.  

Our clan – the hubs, 3 minis, and 2 dogs – resides not far from the Twin Cities.
