I had been looking for a cool sales counter for some time and everything I saw was massive, in size and expense…
Read MoreThere’s Still Room for you to Create a Milk Painted Masterpiece!
As you probably know, we sell both chalk and milk paints, at The Treasured Home. We teach classes, using both products, yet month after month, there’s less demand for our milk painting class, which leaves me scratching my head, in wonder. Or, is that the bed bugs? (Yes, that was a joke!) Maybe…

My brother took this photo, of Lake Tahoe, on May 24th. If you haven’t seen it in person, Lake Tahoe is a national treasure and I hope you’ll add it to your “bucket list”! Half of the lake is in the state of Nevada and the other half is in California. I’ve…
Read MoreNew Fabric Stenciling Class this Saturday!
Remember 1989, if you were alive then, when every respectable creative-type had grape leaves stenciled around her kitchen.

Painter’s drop cloths are wonderful…

Read MoreDining Room Table and Chair Sale!
I love everything about dining room and kitchen tables! They’re the place where you sit down to enjoy a good meal, with a friend, or your whole family. It’s a gathering place, a place to play dominoes, or do homework. For me, setting the table and making a flower arrangement, for a special dinner…
