Hand-painted Ice Skates

Yes, these are in fact REAL ice skates/figure skates. They are painted in a pink/green/blue/black and yellow floral and dot motif. The laces are replaced with black grosgrain ribbon adorned with silver beads on each end. The blades are covered in sparkly fairy dust glitter.Do you have a skater in the family who would love to display these in her room or in the trophy case? Do you know someone who coaches or owns a rink? Maybe you are just an outdoor enthusiast who appreciates interesting art. Why not display in a game room or winter lodge/camp? An amazing and beautiful conversation piece for sure!
I painted this pair for a 9 year old little girl who had an amazingly successful season. She now has a treasure to remember for years and years to come.

Hand-painted Pie Cupboard


How amazing is this piece? A very lovely customer of mine recently had this old, old piece repaired and painted white. What a perfect canvas for some decorative painting! Stripes, checks and flowers........almost too pretty for the cottage it's meant for. This sentimental piece is now classy and colorful, rather than cracked and cruddy. Do you have a certain item that you would like to turn into a treasure? Contact me anytime.

Hand-painted Silver Plated Tea Set




What is not to love about a sophisticated set of hand painted stemware. Any design, any colors. I've painted too many to even remember, and to this day, I will NOT drink out of a glass that is not beautiful. This particular design is as appropriate for a garden party filled with sangria, as it is for a holiday meal filled with champagne. Either way. How perfect.

Hand-painted Sterling Silver Tea Set


Wow. There are almost no words to describe this set. When it was first brought to me, it was a diamond in the rough. After some TLC and a whimsical hand painted design, the result is truly breathtaking. Don't you have an old set tucked away somewhere? Contact me. You will be the envy of all your friends!

Hand-painted Metal Bucket


This artsy metal bucket is painted in courly check with a drag of color giving it depth and age. The uses are endless. Books, magazines, towels, blankets, pillows, baby toys, pet toys, a large sized red geranium bush...need I go on? Of course, don't forget how classy this would look filled with specialty libations for your garden party, or with juice boxes for your child's birthday. You decide............

Hand-painted Nesting Tables



What a stunning table set. The larger table is painted in courtly black and white check with a band of check and gold on each table leg. The smaller table is black with a different colored flower on each corner. Adorned with leaves and stems, this design is ageless and very sophisticated. The sides are striped with black and white, and the entire table is trimmed with tassels in a deep green hue. Each table leg has striped accents at the bottom. What a great conversation piece.
