Digest

A lot of things have been going on this week! Sales have been up, and the purple hexagon table was adopted by a couple in San Francisco, and left us on Sunday. I'm glad they liked it! I have two more end tables in the works right now.  Both are square, one I already showed you so here is the other one:

Pretty crazy isn't it....... this one definitely puts up a big challenge. I'm open to ideas! I need a lot of them. I'm definitely thinking solid color, but the panels behind the designs on the doors come off, so I might do them a different color or maybe in a fabric. We'll see. Here's another "beautiful" project I have going, that I have some ideas for but I'm also pretty blocked:

Interesting, right? The problem here is some of the glasses are broken. But, I know something good will come of them. I have 2, this is the big one and I have one more that is smaller. Wish me luck!
Lastly, I put up a couple more parasols also:

Alright! Those are in the shop, have a great day!

Hexagon Table; Before & After

Here it is! Remember this table? You can see the original post here. I just finished it! Kate & Ross had found this one up in Felton, or Ben Lomond. I love the shape and all the details. I went with purple because it was really nice on another table I had done (here), and I had still have a decent stock of the purples that make it happen. I debated between going with a color or stripping it down and re-staining it.  I went with color because the wood on the top would stain different than the wood on the sides.  Here are some more shots:

This table is currently for sale, either in the shop or by email. Have a good one!

Paper Parasols

I've always thought paper parasols were really cool, and when I finally found some plain ones - my mind started spinning on what to do with them.  For now I'm starting with tissue paper, and experimenting between bleeding and non-bleeding papers, but I have a lot of ideas written down so there will be more to come. What would you do with a plain paper parasol? I love ideas!

Soon I want to make a few of these into lights. I had a parasol once that I turned into a hanging lamp, I cut the handle off almost all the way, and put a small hook in the stem.  It would hang over a standard hallway ugly light and cast a nice glow down, instead of that terrible bare bulb.

I can create custom parasols if interested, just message me. The rest will be available in the shop. I've seen a lot of awesome parasols done for peoples weddings, some with monograms across them. I haven't tried that, but maybe someday.  Don't forget we are on facebook now, click the button on the right!

Honeybee Telephone Table

Remember this table? You can see the original post here. Well it's finally done! I went with Marigold yellow for the entire table, but opted for a chalkboard top and black knobs. It reminds me of a honeybee, but I stopped myself before putting accent stripes here and there. Maybe I will still do it.... we'll see!  The table is done and for sale, best of all, it packs flat!  

On the vintage front, here is an interesting wooden plaque (or tray?) with hand painted butterflies on it. I feel it's a wall plaque, but I guess it could also be a trivet or a simple serving tray. I guess it's up to the owner!  Thanks for checking out Nine Red blog, have a great one!
