Washboards

2011-12-20T11:53:00.001-05:00

A family member found these two old washboards which I cleaned up, painted and re-purposed. One now holds keys, dog leashes, etc., and the other is a photo gallery.

Weathered Table

2011-08-30T16:56:00.003-04:00

I worked on this during the hurricane and wanted to give it a "weathered" look!

Magazine Rack

2011-08-17T15:58:00.000-04:00

I think this old country tote box with heart cutouts for handles is just perfect for magazines, extra towels, toilet paper, anything really. It's one of my favorite pieces. It was rather homely when I found it, so you know what I had to do. :)

Hot Seat

2011-08-10T12:02:00.000-04:00

Thought it might be fun to show the before and after on this piece. I bargained for this old school library chair (chewing gum was included). First step was to powerwash, repair, and coat with a white base. Then I had fun creating a wood and metallic-like finish. I call it the Hot Seat. Hope you like it.

"HERS" Barstool

2011-08-08T11:28:00.001-04:00

I defiled this plain oak bar stool and now it's just for HER. 31" tall with a 12" diameter seat. Hand-painted in bubble-gum pink and black. Chardonnay not included. Enjoy!

Cigar Box

2011-07-31T21:18:00.000-04:00

We took a brand new cigar box (no, we didn't go to Cuba) and we aged it to perfection. The metallic-look design is hand-painted. Perfect for hiding your smokes, or other secret stashes. Enjoy.

Trinket Box

2011-07-30T15:46:00.001-04:00

There are probably 101 uses for this purple and green trinket box. We filled ours with potpourri! Now it looks pretty and smells good too. Hand-painted in our familiar harlequin style. All works are original and signed by artist. Enjoy.

Checkerboard Table

2011-07-25T20:21:00.004-04:00

This occasional table was confiscated from a high-school shop class. We're not sure our colorful checkerboard pattern is what the teacher had in mind, but we hope you'll give it an A+! Handpainted and finished with clear gloss.

Bug Vase

2011-07-21T18:59:00.001-04:00

This rusted tin vase was from way back in who knows when. We rescued it, hand-painted it with bugs, and then gave it a nice opalescent lacquer. Perfect for a bouquet of your favorite silk arrangement, and no pesticide required! To be sold.

A Serving of Naughty

2011-07-18T17:29:00.001-04:00

Circa 1970s teak server is handpainted and poly-glazed with a favored sentiment. For serving up treasures or just to make a statement. (Not for food!) Please, no comments if you are under 18. Priced upon request. Enjoy!

Ocean View

2011-07-11T08:43:00.001-04:00

My friend Judy Stansfield Fischer gave me this cool vintage window for a project. Little did she know she was going to get it back! I gave her an Ocean View, to remind her of some of her favorite vacations. And I'm looking forward to re-purposing more old, odd items. Stay tuned!
