From a plain, boring, inexpensive pantry door to a one-of-a-kind statement piece.

Using furniture paint and layering techniques, I created a chunky, cracked, aged finish that gives it the perfect shabby chic, timeworn character. Every crack, texture, and detail was intentional - and I couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Being creative fills my soul, and it feels so good to be back doing what I love most.

This is just my pantry door, but if you’ve been dreaming of transforming a piece of furniture or a door into something unique and full of character, send me a message! My work schedule is very busy, but I’ll do my best to squeeze you in.

Handcrafted with love, passion, and a little bit of Paz’s magic!🪄✨

Did you know that the Indigenous Friendship Centre is open to everyone, not just Indigenous community members?

They offer a variety of programs, services, and a cooling station to help you stay safe and comfortable during the hot weather.

If you’re struggling with the heat, or if you know someone - especially a senior who could use a cool place to relax, please stop by.

You can find them at 2 Veterans Way, Elliot Lake.

Everyone is welcome.

Come out of the heat on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Elliot Lake IFC at 2 Veterans Way ❄️

✨ Hello everyone! ✨

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since we closed our doors last March. Time flies! After taking a much-needed pause, I’m happy to say that the pause is officially over and I’ll be active on this page again.

You might be wondering… am I opening a new business?
NOT FOR NOW.

For the moment, I’d love to use this space to share what I’ve always been passionate about:

🏡 Home Decor inspiration
🛠️ DIY ideas
✨ Simple tips to help with everyday tasks
🌿 Creative ideas to make your home feel cozy, beautiful, and functional.

This page will also be a place to support and share important community events. Feel free to tag me or reach out if there’s something happening locally that deserves visibility; I’m more than happy to help spread the word.

I won’t be sharing much (if anything) about personal business ventures here, but anything community-related is always welcome.

Thank you so much for sticking around and for all the support. Stay tuned! New posts are coming soon!

Cheers to a new year and a fresh chapter!🥂
