I am thrilled to share my passion for a variety of topics that my friends and family often refer to as “junk.” From gardening to refinishing furniture, painting to repurposing old and antique items, I hope my projects, thoughts, and experiences will inspire and motivate you to work on your own “junk” too.
In my basement workshop, I always have at least one project (or sometimes three) in progress. While I may not always be the most organized DIY’er, I love what I do.
This is my personal site where I showcase some of my projects, review products I have used, share my technology, and journal my interests and thoughts. You never know what you might find here!
Thank you for joining me on this journey of creativity and exploration. I hope you enjoy your stay and find inspiration to tackle your own projects.

Declutter & Organize
I will do it later! That’s been my motto for the last 30 years. I have too much stuff that is all over the place so I plan to finally try to get motivated about my stuff. I am a keeper of stuff that is sentimental. I am a keeper of stuff that has a story.
