Antique Mirror with a Rose Gold Gilding

This antique mirror was finished in a beautiful bright red then gilded with copper leaf composition to give it this elegant "Rose Gold" gilded look.  The solid wood mirror was carved with great scroll work along the top and sides.  I love the older pieces that really accentuate the time and effort people put into creating these works of art!  I have it staged as a coffee table display, but it will look just as wonderful hung up on the wall.  Love you guys! God Bless.

How to Dazzle an Art Niche

Many people have these little "art niches" around their homes, and, inevitably, we just look for some nick knack that fits the shape and size to slide into it.  I believe an "art" niche should incorporate just that....art.  So, in this art niche at our house, I decided to bring together many different elements.  I started with a stencil, then added layers of metallic foils.  Finally, I went back and gave the stencil some depth by adding some texture to the design.  This niche went from "just there" to "look at me!!!!".  This idea can be done in a number of different tones, shades and colors. Let me know if you'd like to give it a try or you have great ideas to share with me!!

Queen Anne Style Dining Set

This beautiful dining set comes with six newly upholstered chairs.  Two arm chairs and four side chairs.  The table, which comes with two leafs, has a deep cherry wood finish.  The leafs are customized with a French Script poem that adds a dramatic flair to the set.  The upholstery for the dining chairs was chosen specifically to match and complement the customized leafs. 

 

 

Summer Fun!

Some people like to lay out and get a tan, others swim and boat.  Me?  I like to break out the air compressor and stapler, some cool new upholstery and bring it all together in the workshop! God Bless y'all!!
