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 then he will probably charge me rent... 

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

After
hours...

Hi, I am jina Sahm.
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 an artist, author, photographer and DIYer. The only thing  I haven't probably done yet is surgery. But who knows I may have to if it's not in the budget, 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 that’s where I bought this Fixer Upper. And I fixed and fixed and believe it or not I am done.
In fact I bought another house to fix up. I will keep you posted!
Not too long ago someone at Lowe's told me they were going to give me an honorary orange vest but I really need a truck, lol. 
Hope you will enjoy the site and get some ideas and know you can do whatever you set your mind to! 

                             from the  nest,
                                                                                    ​jina 

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!
