Quaking Aspen Aspirations

did you ever climb trees as a kid? 

a bird's eye view is envious, but it's also nice to sit quietly under a tree and listen to the sigh of a breeze through the leaves.


fini! this little cabinet naturally invites deep thoughts with the suggestion of shade from an obliging Quaking Aspen.

you'll never have to rake the leaves.

or dig out annoying sucker shoots erupting nearby.





our last post mentioned a surprise, hidden feature in the design. remember? 

ta-dah!

ahh. cute.

almost anything could shout a dramatic make-over from new life furniture aRt.  

don't be satisfied with just a common piece of furniture. 






go out on a limb ~ 






bring something inspirational into your home.

Outdoor/Indoor Not Sure Anymore

here we have a super fun work in progress which honors the sweet life in historic 

Oak Creek Canyon, AZ.

whoo-hoo! almost finished! 

this is a cute little cabinet which 

used to be plain old prim and proper(yawn)white.

not any more. 

close up details of an ambassador 

of vociferous canyon visitors 

on one of the drawers 

(okay, so we caught him in 

a moment of silence):

did you find his less social pal?

que piensas? what do you think?  


don't tell a certain someone who owns this piece, but a surprise hidden-object within 
the design awaits her in about a week!


it takes at least a week for latex to cure.


yes. this really is 100% latex 
from home depot.


yes. I have expensive artist's acrylics. 


i despise them.

want some furniture aRt adventure in your world? call me. i am suited-up for action. as long as the Suburban is running, i am available to come to you for pianos or pieces too cumbersome to move.

seriously.  (ghost-busting = extra charge)

all systems go

welcome to the launch of new life furniture aRt! 
imagine this 

on your buffet, sideboard or media cabinet. cool, right? now close your eyes and pretend to see something like this:

or this

or 

and even this

on your nightstand, headboard, chest of drawers or pantry door. are you with me?

i am now applying what I do on paper and walls to furniture via new life furniture aRt. examples of what it might look like are as follows:

i have a fine art/murals portfolio. what i need now is a furniture portfolio asap! one way to achieve that is to give you a smokin' deal.

here is my genius plan wherein we both benefit. a start-up  special offered to the first 7 people who contact me with a furniture art project! You bring me your furniture piece and I will totally customize it for cost only, $50.00.

think you could stand to have a plain old chair or table lamp become something super unique and special? let's do something about that!
