Kevin's Table

Hello! Here is a beautiful table that Ross has been working on for our friend Kevin, sorry it's not for sale! I love the way it came out.

 Sadly, I don't have any before pictures, but let me tell you it was in trouble. It had a lot of stains in the top, some looked like oil. The table has a hand carved signature, and says "Jules Suppo 1953".  Almost 60 years old! Ross is going to give it another coat of stain and then seal it up for protection.

Polka Dot Chairs

... the adventure continues! I just finished putting on the fabric for the seats, and had to take a preview picture. What color do you think the chair should be? I was aiming for light blue, but now I have no idea. Remember, it's a set of four, and the back will match the seat!

In case you missed the original pictures, here they are:

Give me your ideas! Thanks!

Long Break!

Hi everyone! I apologize for such a long break, we have been working really hard getting our new workshop set up. Here is a picture:

There you have it. That table was a crazy find, we went to a "free" sale which turned out to not be free (long story) and scored this table.  It's HUGE! We don't have a big enough truck at our disposal, so we paid extra to have it delivered. Well, we got a call that night around ten p.m. saying they dropped it off at the liquor store NEAR our house... and that's it! SO Ross and I, at ten p.m., were carrying an enormous table down the middle of the street.  It was very awkward, but very worth it! We can each work from a side with plenty of space. 

I've started in on a few projects.  The first is one of the chandeliers. I decided to break all the glass out, and I will paint it bright red with oversized light bulbs.

Breaking the glass was a fun stress relief!

 The other project is a set of four chairs from my Grandma.

It's so cool to be working on these chairs after growing up around them. It's neat to think all this time I never knew I'd be redoing them one day!

Set of four, all matching. Here they are primed:

Like our make-shift paint booth? There is one chair missing from the photo. I think I am going to paint them a light blue, and use this fabric for the seats and the back:

I haven't finalized any of the plans though, so it is still open if anyone wants to reserve them to buy and choose the colors and fabrics.  Anyone have suggestions of chair color, after seeing this print?

Ross is working on a few things right now too, but I only have a picture of one. This mirror:

It's pretty big - It's been primed now too, and is about to receive a coat of color. This is also up for reservation if anyone is interested. 

Thanks for checking in, I'll post progress pictures soon! Have a great one.

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!
