an artist turned architect turned artist... his drawings are done with charcoals and pastels. now this lovely work of art graces the wall in our living room.
and these tables are about to find a place in his home. 
i love it! it's like a package that's been sent internationally- more than once.
these are from the 'heart will not hide series'. at 3'x5' i can only tell you that they are very powerful in person.
no saving this veneer..... as you can see.
these chairs were in the back of the shop for so long before i realized they belonged together!
i adore this fabric- you can expect to see it on other projects right away. perhaps tomorrow even.
the paint just need a the chips sanded off and a coat of poly to stop any further flaking. 
these tables were near perfect when they came to me. with some gentle elbow grease i was able to take the old veneer off to reveal these great tops. i added a little stencil and voila!
like two matching puzzle pieces in the same box. not in a frustrating way, in a holy cow! way.
and a new door table with very sexy legs.
this is the most comfortable settee i've ever worked on- and the rocker's not too shabby either.
the ghastly before.... was something nesting in there? maybe.
which is why all the guts had to be removed and disposed! new webbing, springs stitched in place, then tied. canvas on top of springs, 4" foam, cotton batting, and... yellow velvet.
these griffins are wood inlay... not painted, carved and inlayed..... talk about amazing craftmanship.
have a great 4th of july- may you see fireworks!
i cut out these birds from an ikea fabric, modpodged them in place, and hot glue-gunned the rick-rack in a branch-ish pattern.
this was such a fun project! i'm looking forward to making more lampshades.
