Making art. Painting furniture artistically. The same principles apply. Make the color pleasing to the eye. Add textures and more color/s. Work the whole surface until you and your client are satisfied. Seal to protect. Head home for a dip in the pool... (See below.) And I sold a painting last week!

| The finished file drawers. Yellow, gold and black over red. |

| Before - great functional piece - awful "pecan" finish. Doors, hardware drawer fronts removed for sanding. |

| What? You were expecting an in-ground kidney deal? This is my rainwater filled cool down pool. You'd be amazed how refreshing it is to just pour water over your head when the outside temp (and my body temp!) is over 95 degrees. Sometimes the water heats up so much I have to add cold well water to get my cool down. |

| Gracie in the dryer. The metal was cool and the house was hot... Doesn't she look pitiful? |
