scarfed

16 January 2011

I started this scarf almost a year ago for jonny and felt like I couldn’t start another project until I finished it! So here you go 2011. It’s finished.

love at the laundromat

Between playing patty cake and snuggling by the dryers, these two made laundry time look like the perfect date. They made me smile.

dressing down the dresser

3 January 2011

This dresser is another garbage find from about 15 years ago. My sister helped me salvage this piece from the neighbor’s trash. It was in rougher condition than this ‘Before’ picture because it had large stickers on the drawer fronts, and was painted in coral and beige. I haven’t done any justice to it over the years with all the colors I’ve experimented on it, which, in horror, I relived while stripping it down to its bare bones.  A simple stain and some Ikea hardware has finally restored this piece to something we can actually have in our bedroom. Yes, with age comes wisdom and hopefully better taste. Photos by Jon Freeland.
