I am an author who focuses on faith and mental health issues, particularly depression/anxiety, and fluctuating moods. My blog, goodthoughtsgoodlives.com, also focuses on these issues with a little DIY thrown in now and then for some relief.
Here’s a lamp I’ve been working on. I don’t have before pictures but it was a dull brown. I painted it red first. Then white. You can see some of the red coming through. Than I “washed” it with a walnut stain.
lamp makeover
I sanded off some of the paint to expose the red paint underneath.
The leather shoes are a pair of children’s leather shoes. They are very old.
Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.

Of course you can. Get an old lamp and just start messing around with paint. It will all fall into place. I never have a plan Just follow my gut instincts.

Thanks. I wasn’t going for that but when the paint didn’t cover one area, I thought, “I love that” and the rest is history. In fact it’s my favorite look all the way around. Have a blessed day.
