A Gift For Her Daughter

One of the things i love most about being in this business is meeting new people.. While at the lucketts fair i met a lovely lady and her husband, we talked for some time and a few days later she asked if i would work some magic on a dining set she had...during our conversation i learned that this set was to be a gift for their daughter...for her first apartment. i am turly honored to of worked on this piece..i love to see parents handing down pieces to their children.. so we gave it new life.. made it young and fresh.. perfect for a young lady just starting out....what a lucky girl....

I used ASCP in Old White... distressed it... then added clear wax..

Just lovely... it's now ready for its new home..

A Peek At My Memorial Day Table

This year i made a lovely table cloth using Annie Sloane Fabric..I used simple white china..lots of fresh flowers and herbs...and no table is complete without candles...

A Beautiful Buffet

I came across this beautiful Buffet several months ago.. It had been sitting in an antiques store for months with no offers. it was finally moved to the back of the store and the sale price was cut in half.. i knew i had to bring it home...I bought it with the Lucketts Spring Market in mind..I got it to my workshop and started on it the next day..I love how it turned out.. and it was one of the first pieces that sold at the market this year...
