a blonde chest of drawers from avery lane
is a little forlorn & dejected
um, not any more!
a funky little table from avery lane
was easily by-passed
but now is poppin' jolly.
long live the queen!
bedroom trio:
a high standing laminate table
and a primitive chest of drawers
hecho en Mexico from pallets
are requested to match this little cabinet i forgot to get a "before" picture of.
imagine it in it's naked former state:
plain dark brown wood ~
now sweetly singing the joy of stripes
and an antique soft mint green.

and an antique soft mint green.
the high laminate table has been hand-painted at each "wood" area exposed to match the
wood color of the chest of drawers.
wood color of the chest of drawers.
get it? every single spec of what you see as exposed wood was hand-painted that wood color with brown acrylics.
compare the natural wood exposed below, waiting to be painted the darker wood as seen in the drawer detailing above.
this three-legged table has a story to tell
i just don't know what it is.
this small curio shelf was a reddish colored wood thing scratched and scarred in a heap
of mis-matched tupperware at goodwill
waiting patiently for $3 and re-birth:
you can also find this fun shelf
at avery lane in north scottsdale.
remember the pigeon-rest bookcase rescued
a while ago?
a mirror to match
makes a perfect duet of antiqued turquoise
here's to cheerfully anticipating
an ocean
of creative potency in all our pursuits.
