The Wardrobe and the White Tree Painted Effects



I've decided to pimp my skills for some income. I will paint just about anything and I have at least 15 years of experience doing just that. From exteriors and interiors of homes to plastic patio furniture, there's nothing I wont paint. I figure this would be a good way to supplement our income since we are going to have another child soon, and also be able to do a lot of the work from home. So let me know if you need something painted. I have references and I will be happy to give you a quote.

Here's just a few things I have painted in the past.



An entry way table that was a total 80's maple "look" but had lots of press and particle board sections. I gave it an elegant antique look with soft shades of green, yellow and white topped with a golden glaze and then sanded around the edges. This piece sits in the Schaffer home to this day and adds a very royal-shabby-chic feel to the room.



From the walls to the furniture, I painted them all in Evangeline's room. This was just the first of many different looks for her room.



This was Lorri's house in Central. Her walls had been a pale yellow and her cabinets a very dark out of date wood. I painted the walls, the pear picture and her cabinets. The cabinets are antiqued and I wish these pictures were clearer cuz they were so fantastic.



This is a table and chairs that did not go together but I made them match by painting them in fun "House of Blues" inspired flair.

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

Sneaking Back In Through the Window

Image
It was a cool, starless, October 7th 1982. I was 15 years old and I was climbing back into my house through my bedroom window at 4am after a night of partying. It wasn't a low window but it wasn't super high up either. Kinda' mid way between the roof and the ground. It was a normal, mid sized window. I had flung my leg up onto the ledge, ducked my head into the open window pane just as the phone rang inside my house. I jerk lifted my head hitting it on the window, startled by the ringing of our phone in the formerly silent darkness of my house. What the?! Why was the phone ringing at 4am? Crap! Someone must be calling mom to tell on me! A neighbor? Crap! Maybe it's a cop who saw me cruising around town! I don't even remember who I was with that night or why I had sneaked out.  I dove into the window,  I heard mom running down the hall past my door, to the kitchen to answer the phone. I ran to my bed across the room and dove under the covers fully dres
