Like most of my projects, this headboard bench took a little turn from what I had envisioned. If not for my sweet friend giving me the idea, this project may have not had as much cattiness. Oh ya, I’m calling this one CATTY for sure! Read on… This post contains a few affiliate links to […]
I love the buffalo check pattern, but never thought about painting it on home decor or even furniture. The pattern itself looked so complicated to me.

I’m a newbie I am painting furniture for my own house or friends. Haven’t started yet! I bought DIY paint and Paint Picie brushes. I love The Turquoise Iris so much! Love you too! I just purchased a wardrobe to paint! I’m afraid to start! ???
Hey Do-I just want to let you know what an inspiring incredible woman you are! It has been a crazy couple years for me-furniture was always my passion, but couldn’t find the means to do it. I was in a terrible relationship and life was not working in my favor. I had a big enemy trying to break me down-she stole everything from me even my 3 baby girls. The messed up thing this women was supposed to be family. I was at my lowest point and this women was winning-my mom had cancer-I lost my job- and I wasn’t making the best choices. Well fast forward to a year ago-I fought back-I woke up said no more!!! I got my life together. And said my babies are coming home-now they are home and I could finally prove all the allegations this woman had brought against me were false!
Everyday is still a battle, but I’m trying! I stumbled across you on Pinterest and I absolutely love your work-so I finally put my foot forward and have been making pieces for the past 6months! I’m trying to make money to release my app I invented-and also trying to write a book on what happened to me! It’s a jaw dropping story and I know I have a huge case! I believe everything happens for a reason and stumbling upon your work and your blogs was no accident! God is working in his mysterious ways! Thank you for your motivation and heart!! I will continue to follow you and your amazing work!
Thank you Ashley! I have always said that painting furniture has saved my life… with God by my side of course. I do believe no matter the situation, you can pull through it. Surround yourself with strong positive people that understand your passion and make that change. I know you can do because I did. Keep your head high and your and God close. Blessing to you sweet lady.

Thanks Kathey! Dionne is an very talented lady. You can’t go wrong with her teaching. As far as the wardrobe… close your eyes and pick a color. You are the only one that can see your vision. I know you can do it. It really is only paint.

I’m so new to this! Please forgive any questions if they sound dumb. I was wondering if it’s necessary to set up a website to get my pieces out to the public or can I just post my pieces on Pinterest and FB? On Instagram the ads about free websites come up all the time so I wasn’t sure if I needed to go that route?
Janita, you can sell through Facebook and Pinterest but your website can make you money in other ways. You can learn more about this in the The Creative Makers Tribe where I teach women how to grow their online business. https://www.dododsondesigns.com/join-the-creative-makers-tribe-2/
