Vacation Day 1&2

I am on VACATION!! For now the kids and I are hanging out in Bossier for a few days and then we will all head to the beach!!! My mom has been really neglected as far as projects I wanted to do for her so this is her week. Below are pictures of what we have done so far. More to come!!
Painted an old bakers rack with grey and white dry brush and rearranged items she already had.

Finished distressed chairs. I found this awesome box in my parents garage (it was my brothers toy box when he was little). Two things are funny about that. 1. It is a beer box and 2. Did all his toys really fit in that......times have changed. My boys have a whole room for toys :-)

Large birdcage filled with random finds around my moms house. My mom came up with the "out of the box" idea to put a lamp in it. Love IT!

For the frame around the wall cherub I took an old Kirklands picture, took out picture and glass and dry brushed the frame with antique white. Spruced up a previously black bakers rack with grey and antique white.

Painted the iron wall hanging in aqua blue to match the new Adirondack chairs.

Mom and I finished 6 Adirondack chairs!

Orders

I am about to have some enemies! I am currently NOT taking ANY orders, scheduling any fireplace/cabinet finishes or teaching furniture classes. I have decided to take a short break to catch up on orders and spend most of the summer just enjoying my boys. I LOVE my customers and I do want your order so I will be back. Feel free to contact me for pricing and info. I do not know when i will start taking orders again but I will post it on my blog. If you would like to receive an e-mail when I re-open let me know. I will still be having a sale on in-stock frames and some of the market samples in the next week or so. Thanks

Introducing the New..........

ROUND FRAME (but I want a diffrent name for it) 20 inch diameter inside, 36 inch diameter outside. Holds a 20x20 photo. Shown in black with bronze trim

Here is the trick! The back of the frame is set up to hold a square photo. I looked and looked, and it is really hard to find a professional photo lab that will print circle prints. All labs as well as my personal favorite www.mpix.com (for us non-professional photographers) will print in squares.

So, what do you think???

Three Words

HELP! I need three words that describe my stuff. How would you describe it??? If I use one of your words you win a $20 gift card. Need these ASAP Thanks! Don't worry about what it's for, I will reveal that later.

I am DYING to Create but I must complete "The Sworm"

So, back from vacation. Here is a pic while we were zip linning in Puerta Vallarta.

I have approximately 200 more frames to ship out the door before I will be able to breathe. When I say breathe I actually mean get to work on all the creative projects that have been floating in my head since December. My bedroom makeover was put on hold when "The Sworm" (that's what I am going to refer to my first showcase at Dallas Market) came and took over my life, garage, home office, paint room , entry way and anywhere else I could stash a frame without my husband killing me.

Not Complaining.....SO BLESSED!!!

Here is a sneak peak of a project I will try to squeeze in next weekend (only if 10 orders get shipped this week - my goal). Just imagine what I will turn a pair of raw wood adirondack chairs into for our new extended covered patio.

Here is a Sneak Peak that I really should not show yet because it is still raw wood, but I can't help myself. Hoping to get it painted and beautiful by the weekend. What is it you ask.....a brand new large frame design. Look for a contest coming to soon to name this new beauty.

Here are a couple of custom items I finished recently for my friend Ronna

I will leave you with a few pics (stolen from elsewhere) that have inspired me lately.

I am having cornice boards similar to the ones above made for my bedroom makeover. Can't wait to show them off and give you info. on who can make fabric covered cornices for your next re do.

Also, kinda big news. The showroom that was representing my line at Dallas Market is closing down on April 15th. For now, I am choosing to not be in a showroom. If you are a wholesale buyer please contact me directly.

Just a side note, I really want to start painting the adirondack chairs right this minute (10:29 pm) but I must stay strong and get 10 orders shipped first :-)

Vacation

I will be on vacation from Thursday, March 17th - Monday, March 21st. I reply to all requests, e-mails, voicemail, etc. on Tuesday, March 22nd.

Who can guess where I am going???
