Notice the vintage trailer garden flag ...	Yes, I live in an "extreme home!" It was once a catfish restaurant, bait and tackle shop and gas station ... My husband purchased this property in 1974 when it was an abandoned shell of a building with broken windows and doors, the restaurant equipment thrown out front and weeds grown up all around. The inside had been taken over by wild dogs and no one could have seen any way to salvage it - except for David Bridges! We moved in with 5 children and proceeded to remodel - a task that has yet to see any end. Along the way we managed to incorporate a large art studio, where I teach two days a week, and a custom frame shop which provides additional income as well as convenience for myself and my art students. Custom Frame Shop Art Studio Monday Night Art Class Everyone is hard at work on her own project ... Some are painting in oil but most are doing pastel. PASTEL TRAY I built a box to hold assorted brands of pastel chalk for my art students to utilize. The sticks are bedded down on grey recycled paper. This keeps them clean and from transferring color to one another. Janna works on a pastel portrait commission ...
