Busy painting.....

I have been painting like a banshee lately....

....but it keeps me busy and out of Macy's!!


I have had a few pieces of furniture in the basement since last fall and decided to clear out that area and paint them.  Here is one of my favorites:


This was a rustic sofa table, that was hand made by a local guy.  I painted a harlequin design on top.  This sold quickly to a woman who will use it in her office!


To update this unique cupboard, I just painted the top in checks.  It sold in a few hours!!


This table is still available - I always have trouble selling anything grey!!


I struggled with finding inspiration for these stacking end tables - one is painted in checks and the other in leopard pattern.    They sold in about 20 minutes!

This piece still  has me undecided - should I paint it white?  I just can't decide.  I made the cushion and think it is the cutest bench - can't you picture it in a mudroom, the perfect piece to sit in while putting on your boots!!


So, as you can see, I have been busy.  I have 3 more pieces to work on, so.....

  4. Gosh, Patti, I really like the subtle tones on the sofa table, but the leading tabel photo and those stacking tables - love!! You're so very talented with the brush! As for the bench...I love the signature MC bright green with black, but I've also always loved that contrast in nature - it's like spring leaves against black tree bark after a rain.
