Hi, I’m Jen. A while ago I left a career in banking management where my creative juices were barely even dripping. So these days I spend most of my spare time in the garage – fixing and painting furniture (usually from a thrift store, yard sale, or curbside!) or creating unique home or personal accessories – and I love every minute of it. I’m certainly not an expert but I hope to be a resource for others who share my enthusiasm, and I’d also like to hear about your successes. Here I’ll share with you my current projects, tips I’ve learned along the way, and even some mistakes I’ve made- because this is real life, and no one’s perfect! When I’m not in the garage I’m usually chasing around two adorable but mischievous toddler boys or bugging my hard-working husband for a second opinion on my projects.
Some fun facts:
1. My favorite all-time color is red, but lately I’ve really been digging teal and turquoise.
2. I’m not a big fan of chocolate. I prefer gummy bears, sour patch kids, and lemon heads.
3. My husband and I were set up on our first date by mutual friends… and the rest is history.
4. Our boys are the same age for 6 days during the year.
5. I’m a huge fan of John Mayer, and I love Adele.
The boys love to look at books.
Welcome to my garage and my life.
<3 Jen
Our little gal Frenchie caught mid-yawn after an exhausting day at the puppy salon.
Our big girl Abby loves to get comfy on the couch.
My handsome hubs and me. I sure do love this guy!
