Learn how to breathe new life into your home, one piece at a time.

Learn how to breathe new life into your home, one piece at a time.

Every piece of furniture has a story waiting to be told.

That old hutch tucked away in the corner or the worn-out dresser collecting dust—each one holds the potential for something beautiful, something new.

If you've ever looked at a piece and wondered what it could become, you're in the right place.

I teach you to take worn, well-loved pieces and breathe new life into them, turning outdated into obsession-worthy.

                                                  

Hi! I’m Dorota,

When I moved to Canada from Poland at 40, I struggled to find my footing and truly feel like I belonged. Like many of you, I turned to creativity to bring comfort and purpose into my life.

One day, while caring for my kids at home, I stumbled across HGTV and thought, I could do this.

A garage sale find, a can of paint, and a little courage were all it took to ignite a passion I never expected. What started as a way to decorate my home on a budget quickly became something more—it became my creative escape, my confidence builder, and eventually, my business.

Now, I get to share that journey with you.

Whether you're looking to upcycle your own pieces, create a home that tells your unique story, or even start a business doing what you love, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

My favorite projects are those big, bold transformations—like hutches and display cabinets—that turn forgotten furniture into stunning statement pieces.

And the best part? We’re saving these treasures from the landfill and making magazine-worthy spaces possible on any budget.

If you’re ready to breathe new life into your furniture and your creativity, let's do it together. Because with a little vision and the right techniques, anything is possible.
