SK's Half There Table.
I needed a little table in my tiny, tiny bath. I had just under 20" next to the toilet. I needed a little lamp for a night light. I could have just plugged in a little night light, but I wanted something a little prettier.
Copper... Really SK?
Concrete to Rust
Still experimenting with Metal effects paints. Pretty cool if you ask me. Others aren't as excited. Maybe it's the old farm girl in me...
Come on in and see how it was done.
The Awesomeness Of Having Daughters
Having Daughters
Just a point I must make. My daughters, Darcy( a chef) Summer (overall artist/photographer) Are amazingly talented.
I had to post this post of Darcy's. Just bragging rights I guess. I thought you might get a kick out of her and her creative process. Naw. She's not like me at all...

What Makes A Professional, Professional?
Professional? SK Sartell
With a history as sketchy as mine, the art and design lessons learned over forty five years must surely be of some use as I get older. You would think...As I begin a creative project I really try to "see" what I am trying to achieve. This imagining can be a far cry from reality as most of you know. But sometimes we get it spot on and sometimes we're not even close.
Take for example this little well loved table given to me by my secret garage shopper. She seems to trust me. Heavens.
More Old Finish Fun With SK
Old Pine To Metal
I'm still having fun with experimental paint finishes. This is about my most favorite so far. I keep looking around my house to see what else I can refinish. My concrete countered island is next.
I was given this great old bench by a garage saler in my area, knowing I wouldn't leave it as it was.

SK Sartell, Wood Frosting & Modern Masters Paints
I'm having a blast working with some "new to me products". First I love texture and have found a great long lasting texture to use with hand-cut stencils. Then I tackled metal reactive paints from Modern Masters Paints.

Built In 1940 Doesn't Make You Old.
This little 1940's home is built like a brick on ten acres of amazing Northern Idaho Mountains. As I re-design and the endless projects come to fruition we see a gem emerging. This will be a wonderful, warm and cozy home. Complete with an unfinished basement to design. Hmmmmm...Giddy thoughts.
As we complete projects I will update with pictures. This little house is 8 hours away so it's impossible to work every weekend.
An Old West Themed Wedding
Thought and thousands of hours were needed to bring this western themed wedding to a successful conclusion
A full musical was performed on the specially constructed stage
I have planned and carried out many a wedding and event but this one was over the top. And I just did the final touches of floral on the three tiered cake and the brooch bridal bouquet.. Boy was I glad this is all I was expected to do..

Burlap and Lace.
Fresh Flowers finish Summer's three layer cake.
A pretty antique cupboard was used to display the delicate chocolate espresso
and white chocolate cupcakes.

From Ugly Yellow To Painted Faux Granite
There are those kitchens that make you want to gag when you step into them. This old 50's kitchen has those ugly yellow tiles, I swear must have been left over from some old hospital job. The builder must have had them in a shed somewhere. Hmmmm....I know let's use them is this kitchen. Ugh!
Chef Darcy of Silver Spoon Catering

SK's Newest Children's Book
Hand-painted original watercolor
Just a few projects left....
One breath at a time. Each time a small part of this project is complete I sigh with relief and enthusiasm onto the next.
