Twice Nice

I'm gone, then back, then gone, then back...  I find it harder and harder to keep up with all the social media sites like I should.  If I do what I should to promote my business I don't find e...

I'm telling you now this isn't about running a race.  I WISH I liked running, really do.  It's furniture though, and that's ok too.  I have plenty of pieces that take a bit of time to fine tu...

One of the reasons I am so pleased to have found Heirloom Traditions Paint Company is their forward thinking.  They are always looking to be ahead of the game in formulating new products that o...

I spent some time playing with some of Heirloom Traditions Paint new products over the break.  One of them is the Metallic Top Coat.  It's fabulous, and I'm so happy I'll be able to offer it u...

Not doing a resolution this year, but I do pledge to try and do better by this lonesome blog!  It seems that more and more I find people interacting on Face book and Instagram than they do on t...

You've seen the numbers thing from me before.  I don't even like math people...seriously.  I do like words and word games so you'd think I'd try an alphabet something.  Nope.  I keep going b...

Fall really is the time for change it seems and I see some new things around the corner here at Twice Nice!  To begin with my DIY paint line is being rebranded and will debut very soon. Vin...

So, we had the big sale in July.  Which is earlier than we normally do, but we are excited to be offering the Prairie Market Holiday sale in November.  Woot, woot!  Normally I fall out of a r...

There was quite the whirlwind around here, as there always is right before the sale.  It takes a lot of work to create enough to stock our big events.  We had a wonderful time, even though the...

And I do!!  We are in the big push to get everything set up for the Prairie Market Sale this Friday and Saturday, whew! At any rate this rare gal will be there waiting for someone to find her...

This Mahogany desk came by way of one of our Prairie Market customers that was having a garage sale and thought someone might want it as a project.  That is so sweet!  I wish I had a before of...

The Bohemian Blue Buffet, B3 for short, was a fun gal to repair and restyle.  She did have a lot of veneer damage on both sides at the bottom.  It seems so many of these pieces, as they are mo...

This is the last of the Sorority house desks!  I know, I'm sad too.  This last one just had to be a bit different from the rest right.  Let's see, we made restyled a couple as...desks...a few...

Whenever we're at the 2 week mark before a big sale it seems I have a lot of (finally) photographed projects to share.  Mind you, not all of these were finished in the last 2 weeks, more like t...

Now this is a fun and easy process, but it does require some patience or a night when you are going to be up until 2:00 A.M. anyway so you might as well be removing paper from a vanity.  Good t...

It always seems like a good idea.  You know, learning something new for my business, until it comes down to crunch time anyway.  I have two chairs, and no before photo so use your imaginations...

How about two in a row that are sweet and petite?  Of course you can handle it! I forgot the before photo of this one.  But it was just the shell of a small side table/bookshelf in battered ...

There are some pieces that are frequently requested by the ladies who shop our sales, my booth, and the store where I consign some furniture.  Here are some of the descriptors they use, "storag...

Inspiration comes from many places, and sometimes out of the blue.  I got a really good deal on a nice, clean mid-century modern blond oak dresser.  They don't seem terribly popular, go figure...

Apothecary is one of the new Debi's Design Diary DIY Paint's newest colors.  It is a soft blue/green color.  Honestly it is a changeling.  Depneding on the lighting, the undercoat, the backgr...

Couple of things... 1.  I seem to be musically driven even though I have no particular gifts in that area. 2.  I like bright colors. Here is another piece that actually ended up being na...
