Welcome!

I've been hiding from blogging for a year.  

A friend gave me a tutorial an entire year ago! 

She set my blog up for me and it just sat there waiting for me to start posting.  

I was way too intimidated though.  

I just don't have a blog mind, figuring out how the whole thing works has taken me a year! 

And so, I'm just getting started.  

Better late than never? 

If you never try you'll never know?

So here I go!

WELCOME!

to The Aubergine Cottage!

I'm Leslie.

I live in a purple house with a green door.

I paint furniture and share it with friends and family or sell it.

My partner would prefer I do more of the latter, ahem.

I remind him that when I distress a piece a furniture, I de-stress my life.

It's wonderful therapy.

I love taking something old, forgotten or unused and giving it a second chance with a coat of paint and wax.

I hope you enjoy the blog.

I hope that some of my projects inspire others to give it a try sometime.

Certainly, I have been inspired so much by my favorite blogs and when I figure out how to share them on here, I absolutely will!
