Fabric For Window Treatment
On the table here, two pieces of custom fabric for window treatments. They will be made into panels for two powder rooms that feature a lot of granite and stone.
These photos are taken before the fabric was heat set and washed, so you can still see some of the chalk used to delineate the pattern before painting. The chalk washes away so easily.

I hang my fabric out side to line dry, and it was just too hot out there in the middle of the day to do a photo shoot!
I will post photos of the fabric hanging in place when the panels are installed!

Swivel Stools
Now I am working on these 3 swivel chairs...Oh my goodness, lots of legs!
In fact, now the legs are DONE (legs are very tedious, and these are heavy chairs to lift about), I can have fun with the larger area of the seat, and to some extent the arms and backs.

I painted this little table to be very thick with paint, almost as if it were covered in sugar icing.
It's bright and charming.
Its got a cool little secret hiding place, a shelf underneath, too!
This table is for SALE. Please contact me for more information, or go to http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6134415

Painted Chairs
These chairs are available for SALE, seperately or as a pair. Please contact me if you are interested or go to http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6134415
There is something very satisfying about painting a wooden chair with whimsical patterns and bright colours!
These chairs are not exactly a pair, but they certainly ''match''.

Painted Bed Frame
This is a wooden bed frame in several parts...its pretty interesting and lends itself to a lot of interesting colour work..it is developing a slightly folkloric look....
Here is the head piece before painting. The chalk mark is unfortunately where the mattress will reach to. It's one of those super high matresses... Oh well, I will paint it for a shorter mattress too, in case there is a change some day.
In the foreground you can see work being done on the foot board part of the bed.
Here are the finials. These were VERY fun to paint...and luckily they stand up, because if they didnt, painting them lying down on their sides, or leaning against something would have been very tedious.....
