As I made my way through the updates on Design*Sponge (yes I do this eveyday), I stumbled on an amazing website.

After drooling over it for about an hour, I decided that what they are doing is exactly what I want to accomplish with Duo Designs: to teach others my passion, to sell my treasures, and to share my creative eye with those who ask.

This site has inspired me to work harder and push for my ultimate goal of working for myself in the design world someday... Thank you to the ladies of Spruce. Keep up the good work!

New Chairs For Tara

These two chairs were found in the front yard of someones house on free trash day. I have trained Tara well because she picked them up and brought them to my house.

Trash Chair... Lawn Chair... Dog Toy... Master Piece

This Chair started out in the dumpster then turned into a lawn chair in my back yard. After a long day of studying I found that my lovely new puppy decided that the chair need a new look. The weather did a little refinishing as well but in the end, the chairs new look has raised the bar for everything else I will do in the future.
Please enjoy the transformation...
