La-Z-Boy Design Dash | Vote & Win
A few months ago, I was invited to be a participant in the La-Z-Boy Design Dash this year. It’s a design competition that starts with a sofa and ends with a day and a half of racing to claim furniture & accessories in a showroom to put together an entire space in a few hours that will […]
finished “French twins”
Now is the time when everything I started gets finished. Well, it’s also the time I buy new things that need to be finished, because it’s my biggest event of the year and I have to give it everything I’ve got, but that’s another post. One thing I finished this week was the sibling to […]
grain sack wash stand
Lucketts 2017 is definitely “the year of the hutch”. I have more hutches and large pieces in general than I have in previous years, but I am trying to round that out with smaller pieces that will be easier on-the-spot purchases. This is one of those small pieces that I picked up a few weeks […]
antique crib-turned-daybed
Remember this antique Jenny Lind-style crib I found on craigslist a couple of months ago? Well, I finally got around to sprucing it up and made it into a sweet daybed… The wood was so pretty that I decided not to paint it. Well, and spindles are a complete nightmare to paint as well, so […]
a trunk, a wicker chair & a side table
The studio has been a flurry of activity so far this week. It’s our last full week before Lucketts and we’re making a push to get everything finished, photographed, priced and packed. There are so many pieces that I haven’t even had the chance to share! A market scale, a barrel scale, an amazing clock […]
two-tone dresser
You know I love my blues, whites, and greens, but I can’t seem to resist sneaking one yellow piece into my booth at Lucketts each year. And I decided, this year, it would be this piece… It was a pretty little dresser, but the hardware was a bummer. One of the handles had been most […]
slipcovered settee
I usually don’t work on the weekends, but it’s crunch time as Lucketts is quickly approaching. So, after sitting out in the rain most of the morning to cheer my boys on at soccer, my mom and I spent a few hours in the studio to cross some more things off the to-do list. My mom […]
bespoke chippy empire
I find it hard to resist a good empire-style dresser. They are impressive pieces that have a balance of masculinity in their massive size and handsome features, and feminine in their curves, glass knobs, and carved keyhole escutcheons. The downside to these pieces is that they are massive. They are tall, heavy, and bulky, and, […]
