This is my plumpy cat Sweetie who lets me live with him!
He might be famous soon because I wrote a book about him and he will probably charge me rent... 

If you can do it yourself,
do it!
If you think you can't do it, try it anyway!
If you can't do it,
learn how!

After
hours...

   Hi, I am Gina Cole,
my friends and co-workers wanted to see pictures of my Fixer Upper and the progress I was making. I tried to explain it to them but they said make a website so we can see what you are doing. 
So here we are!
I have a regular day job, but after hours I am a photographer, artist, author and diyer. The only thing  I haven't  done yet is surgery. Wait, I actually came close but that's another story, lol
I have always been a problem solver and somewhat of a handy girl. So when I decided to sell my house in upstate NY and move south, ​I chose Greenville, NC and bought a  Fixer Upper.  I fixed and fixed and believe it or not I am finally done. 
Well,  not quite, I went ahead and sold my handy work and bought another house to fix up. I will keep you posted!
One more thing!  So I go into Lowe's one day and  one of the clerks  said they were going to give me an honorary red vest being that I am here so frequently, lol! 
Hope you enjoy the site and get some ideas and know you can do whatever you set your mind to! 

                            From the  nest,
                                                                                    ​Gina

Design

 I love to fix up, make-over and accessorize and love to save money doing it! My house is my canvas and my yard is my lump of clay, or something like that... artwork and photography are my passion.

My models are relaxing after an exhaustive photo shoot, I was working on samples for my Wedding packages and also samples for a Tux rental store. My backdrops set the mood! We had a wahoo time!
