Joy to the Home Journal, April | Why Faux?
Hi,
I hope you are enjoying spring.
We're feeling refreshed this spring with a sense of renewal. Faux artist and author Adrienne van Dooren has given me fresh inspiration to complete our Habitat for Humanity project for the TV show Flip That House.
After my husband Brian passed on, I was painting the bedrooms in the fixer by myself and feeling miserable. Today, I'm receiving love and support from volunteer artists and local businesses. Adrienne, who just happened to also support Habitat for Humanity with a book, gathered faux artists to help me take our project to a new level.

The lot next to my home was vacant for a long time until a Habitat for Humanity house was built there. It was a wonderful experience to be part of making that happen.
