Painted Furniture

Some time ago, I saw a wonderful blue-ish Asian/Indian/Moroccan wardrobe featured on Horchow--for over a thousand dollars!...it looked crumbling, primitive, extremely lovely and textural. Not having a thousand dollars I painted one up 'faux-style' with swirls and flowers and couldn't part with it, despite the fact that it didn't quite look 'old enough'. I stashed it upstairs for future use.
I got the urge to create another one in a similar fashion, though I used silver paint rather than gold--it crackled beautifully and I am very pleased. The knobs are silvery glass, but burnished-looking, sort of like an old mirror that has tarnished over time. And now it is GONE--sold on Craig's List!

Patchwork Loveseat Idea

OK....I got this sturdy simple loveseat because I thought it might be fun to restore to an 'eclectic' look, but it doesn't look like something I want to attempt at the moment. Right now, laying on it's back in the entryway of my living room like a dead beetle, I've got to find a place to shove this little sucker to make room for some other projects in various stages of progress. (Progress--yeah, right!)

I have some brown swirly fabric, limey stuff, shades of orange circle shapes, and some retro-like large print bright florals that have some tones of fuschia and turquoise, gold and cream. I'll post a finished pic AFTER March/April/or May!
