Arhaus

Recycled Treasures-This distinctive collection of “green” goods combines high style with earth-friendly practices to deliver fresh, fabulous fashion for your home. Artisan-designed and completely crafted by hand, each piece is inspired by rescued scrap materials destined for landfills, such as newspaper, old glass bottles and copper pieces. Recycled, repurposed and revitalized, these cast-offs are granted new life, transformed into distinctively different pieces that infuse your home with the spirit and energy of an “old soul”.

Chair-ished again

Picked up my new credenza from a funky new store called Chair-ished again. The store creates one of a kind furniture and accessories from old materials, truly recycling new life into found objects. This cabinet started life in a doctor's office. With the addition of a steel top and toe kick and decorative punch work on the doors, this piece is eclectic. More info on this store as it become available.
UPDATE

Unfortunately this store is now closed.

Happy Halloween

Another creation for the Juvenal Diabetes Pumpkin Auction. I had fun recreating the midcentury style of Halloween past with this scarecrow couple.

Wicked

This wicked little witch was created for a pumpkin auction for Juvenal Diabetes. Her body is a pumpkin that has been painted and holes drilled to make the lacey pattern.
