October projects

I discovered this vintage piece in Arkansas.  Gold, creamy white, and natural wood highlight the carved wood doors.  The shelves on the inside are deep and sturdy.

Check out this Vintage bed with a working light in the headboard.  The arms are curbed with  distressed grooves and cuts.  The bench is made of cypress and stained a light brown.

This old stereo console (speakers still work) would be a great piece to hold your large wide screen TV.

These checkered boards were once part of an old antique rope bed.  I discovered them in a junkers paradise in Maine when I visited New England.


I love this old window!  The mats will hold 5x7 pictures.  It is antiqued dark brown over a sage paint.

Popular top with mahogany legs painted in neutral tones.
Oak, rough cut boards painted a light tan and lime green then antiqued with a walnut stain.
Boards salvaged from New Orleans.  An old spindle and door hinge make the cross very different.
This cross is designed from boards from an old door with a rusty old knob and hinge.
Salvaged wooded cross embellished with an unique wood medallion.

Light blue wood and a salvaged frame...nothing goes to waste.

These corbels were in great shape but the off white paint didn't match and the customer wanted it blue antiqued.  A grey and blue shutter will be mounted on top and used as an one of a kind entry table.

September Projects

I often forget to take photos of some of my pieces but here are a few I did happen to take.

 
This is the first project I have made for myself: my own worktable!!! 


I made this piece from old painted boarded which had multiple layers of colors.  Two vintage sewing boxes support the top board.  The piece could rest on a desk or used on the wall as a picture ledge.

.The orange and dark brown paints looked great together after I distressed the old layers on top of each other


This old cedar chest that I spruced up can be used for a coffee table or bed bench.

Some times I need to build  a few other things to change up my routine of just making tables.   

Coat rack for an entry...she was very please with what she ordered.

Special order table for a customer made of cypress.  She called last night and said it looked great and was just what she wanted.  Her husband even commented on it...how rare is that!


This 5x7 frame was made from a old door and discarded frame from a junk store.  I love using my "scraps" and visiting junk stores.
