Music Bin

My neighbor asked me to paint a music-themed mail and junk box for her husband's office. This is a good example of some of the cool cut-out shapes I can order.

Noah's Ark Rocking Chair

I painted this onto a rocking chair that I picked up at a tag sale. It is still available for sale as of Aug 2010.

Door and Wall Signs

These were painted for my booth at a craft fair. The idea was to paint a name on them once purchased.

Maya's Princess/ Mermaid Growth Chart

Maya wanted a growth chart that had both princesses and mermaids on it; a bit of a challenge when your work area is only 8 inches wide. This is what I came up with.

Maynard Fest Growth Charts

All painted to sell at my booth at our town festival.

and with personalizing...

Farmyard Bedside Table

We had this table kicking around. With that chicken wire front, I had to do a farm theme.

It's all about the little details...

Heirloom Table

This table was mine as a child, and belonged to my mother and grandmother before that. I believe it was handmade by my great grandfather. It was originally a light wood finish, which I normally wouldn't paint over, but my sister had carved the names of her favorite bands into it as a teenager, and it had a large crack in it. I'm happy to have made it functional again, and added a personal touch. Now it belongs to my two daughters.

Ballerina Night Stand

Another yardsale "trash to treasure". I think I paid $5 for the stained wood night stand. It involved a lot of different techniques, including sponge painting, washes with glaze, striping and florals. Lots of work, but one of my favorites. A good friend bought it for her two daughters' room.

Woodland Highchair

I found this highchair in the trash. A little primer, a lot of handpainted gingham and a cute woodland critter scene and voila.

(if I had it to do over, I'd make the scene facing in, toward the baby)

Fairy Desk

I bought this cute, unfinished desk for a dollar at a yard sale. It was scribbled on in marker, but was nothing a coat of paint and some fairies couldn't fix. I sold it at a craft fair.
