A Sneak Peak!

September 19, 2011 by freddyandpetunia

There’s a Dresser, a Highboy, and, a Nightstand—

All will have a soft, blue’ish gray base, but each will have their own complementary design!

And here’s the continuing progress on the dresser—which you can begin to see, has a stylized Union Jack design!

I haven’t used any lace in my designs in a couple of years, but thought this would be a good application to bring it back out!

These pictures show you the direction the dresser is taking, but there are many things to finish!

In this view, ↓ you can also see the detail at the bottom of the dresser. Each piece was missing one side of its original bottom–which was just another detail pointing to the Art Deco design I’ve eliminated.

I should be finished with all the details tomorrow,

and can’t wait to show you the first completely finished piece—the others are underway—and wait till you see their finishes!

Catherine

—Done, and sold!

Soooo cute! How do you do the ‘lace’ detail? Is it a stencil? Just gorgeous!
Can’t wait to see the others:)

Really cute, I like this better than the union jack (too bold for me). Are you doing all three pieces the same? Great job, you are rather a very artistic girl! Wishing you a Happy thanksgiving. Thanks so much for sharing at Sunday’s Best!

  Only speaking for myself–I know it’s your Union Flag, but for as long as I can remember–I have heard it called affectionately the -Union Jack- by Americans AND English!
  Truly sorry for the mistake–I stand corrected!
