First… The best perspective…

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
~ Proverbs 31:18

Yesterday Dee officially started her new business – Hearth & Gate – ‘Repurposed, Renewed, Repainted Furniture and Decor’.

She has a booth at a store called Re-Invintage, less than five minutes from our home in Murfreesboro. This fascinating shop specializes in artistic crafts, signage, antiques, and unique pieces of refinished and repainted furniture – the very same things that Dee enjoys doing!

After consigning several pieces of her high quality work at Re-Invintage, Dee was invited by the owners to take over an empty booth, an opportunity she immediately accepted.

Here is an example of Dee’s work. This was a hideous twin bed headboard that we purchased at a thrift store for just $10:

With Dee’s vision for what this piece could become – and a few hours of her skill with paint, brush, and a few extras, here’s the result:

This is just one of many pieces of furniture (and other smaller items) that Dee has carefully and artfully prepared for Hearth & Gate at Re-Invintage. We thank the Lord for this opportunity and trust Him to bless this business opportunity… who knows where it will lead?

I’ll keep you posted along the way! Meanwhile, please visit and ‘Like’ the Hearth & Gate Facebook page to keep up with the latest news.
