Not much to say about this except its super red
The big black thing is just the center section of a 3 piece bookcase that is 94 inches tall. Black on the inside and Linen White on the outside. It is masked with tape and newspaper. To the left of i...
The pulls for this are wood applied to the drawers. Silver is brushed on not leafed. This shot shows the beveled mirror top.
Meant to look like weathered zinc, this was done with layers of glazes and dry brushed distressing
This orange asian style buffet was done in a Pratt and Lambert color called Poppy. Not as bright as in this picture. I cut a repeating stencil design and wrapped it around the sides and applied it on...
Not much to say here. Navy blue with gold lining and gold metal knobs.
The satin nickel ring pulls on this cabinet are actually door knobs.
If you think you cant give an old style piece a contemporary twist, think again.The stencil design was adapted from Japanese heraldic symbols.The knobs are yellow frosted glass with a modern nickel b...
This Faux Bamboo Cabinet has a pale blue glaze that doesnt show up in this picture.
A custom pedestal table with a black over gold crackle finish...tricky.Did the crackle 3 times before I got what I wanted.Leaf veining secret - Fine line Sharpie marker.
Mid range yellow color with a brownish gray interior. I do like the big disc knobs.
A six drawer chest with gold diamond pattern and gold ring pulls. It looks better if you click to see the larger size picture. Pattern is incised on the drawers. Gold metallic acrylic paint for the d...
This vanity with a floral border was for a little girls room. The thing I notice most about the picture though is how clean the spray booth looks (relatively).Detail of the border. If I remember righ...
A little occasional table painted a cream white with a stenciled geometric design. Remind you of anything?
This piece was a family piece inherited by a client of the designer who brought it to me. A pretty typical chest circa 1940 that was a dark wood finish. I applied a quickly brushed base coat so...
This 2 drawer nightstand is only about 26 inches high. The white flowers were hand drawn and hand painted but stenciling would work just as well on a piece like this.
It doesnt really show very well but the table is painted with a silver metallic paint called Chromatone. It covers much better than Ralph Lauren)I made some ginkgo leaf stencils and used off wh...
This white chest was a custom request. The mirror drawer fronts were inserted from the underside of the drawer. I did have to re-drill the holes in the mirror for the knobs. Do not try that at at hom...
A small console with hand painted fruit motifs. There is a pale strie glaze on the body with a scumbled glaze in the panels. A closer look at the cherries.If the fruit motifs look familiar, I co...
Cream, caramel and a very deep purple dry brushed over a tan base coat on the drawers and sides. It looks a little like Bark cloth, thus the name.
A lighter turquoise color with bright gold lining and a diagonal checkerboard.
For those of you who are interested - Pratt and Lambert 1849. I had some steel ring hardware from years ago that I used to use on furniture I wanted to look authentically old. I dipped them in ...
Lots of pictures for a really big piece of furniture. A piece this size requires a lot of thought about placement of the design elements. It wouldnt do to have similar images repeat too close t...
A more contemporary twist to a country style corner hutch. I switched out the hardware after the picture to a pair of smaller fleur di lis knobs.
I should have taken a before picture. A dowdy traditional table gets a fresh make over.
An aging glaze tones down the shiny newness on this piece. Old reliable raw umber and black glaze brushed on and rubbed and stippled back. Glaze on, glaze off.And a tiny friend done much later. No, n...
The base coat of paint on this piece is pale lavender. Bees and applied detail was done with aluminum leaf. Then I toned it all down with a hefty dose of dark umber and black glaze.
The high gloss finish doesnt really show up here. The pulls were a close-out. I think they should have been a little longer.
I adapted the design on this piece from a book on Swedish interiors and furniture. Id give proper attribution to the book if it wasnt packed away. I dont think a lot of this kind of painting is in my...
An all over paisley design in white with a white wash.
