It’s a Party

The warehouse may be a sanctuary and our sky fort, but it is also a giant closet for objects once loved and stored.  What better way to show our appreciation than to host an extravaganza yard sale.  Dusted to shine, these pieces move on again to be appreciated all over again.  Big and small – furniture to jewelry – all get to come to the party.

And it is a Party!

Our Most unique woodworking project

A photograph of an antique  Moroccan archway started the process between the clients and ourselves in introducing this architectural form into their house.  The kitchen needed to be anchored with a strong and creative entrance that reflected the photograph.  We interpreted this with free rein, conforming the north African details into such forms as the archway, panelled walls, doors, mirror, bulletin board and key kiosk.

We are very fortunate to live in warehouse space.  Our home is in essence our showroom showcasing the furniture we make, the art we collect, the treasures we find to redefine.  The gallery space on the first floor was created for furniture vignettes  but now the furniture shares space with my yoga studio.  It is a beautiful space filled with light where we all, animate and inanimate seem to thrive.

As with anything you do, it is a good idea to leave space for humor.  Having humor in my toolbox, allows  me to not take things so seriously.  It gives me latitude when dealing with a difficult situation or personality.  Humor  adds a creative element to the things Steve and I make.  It is by all means a language we use to keep us playful, present and interesting.

Is it furniture or is it art?

The piece as a whole is functional and comfortable but there is another place your eye goes to feast. Each piece of furniture has its own distinct personality created by design, texture and color…no two are exactly the same yet they can marry in numbers, as in a set of chairs.  Surface is where the magic happens.  Color is where the imagination plays.

Attention chairs!

Chair world is where I have been for the last couple of weeks.  The simple plank bottom chairs adorn 4 coats of paint and some rather intricate brushwork.  They all look fresh and clean like new neighbors who aren’t aware of what is about to occur.  After administering knives, rocks and various other tools of the trade, the chairs start to appear as old relatives rather than new neighbors.  They exhibit a patina, a worldliness, a comfort not only for sitting but visiting with. That is the beauty of distressed finishes.

Rocket ship queen size bed circa Flash Gordon.  This was created with your imagination in mind..  A constellation at your head and drawers at your side.  One of a kind.   The  rockets are hand turned out of solid wood with hand carved flames.  Heavy duty angled aluminum ensures safe takeoff.
