Michele

This customer brought me an unfinished wood lazy susan. She brought along a piece of her dinnerware, and asked if I could match the design - but with deeper hues. How do you think I did??

One of my favorite customers recently turned 60 years old. When she was a little girl, she was given this wooden rocker. Now, all these years later, she asked me to paint it so that she could give it to her niece for her first birthday. What a precious keepsake. This piece can be handed down for generations to come.

This customer took a large wooden try from her boat and asked me to paint it. We agreed on a Mackenzie-Childs - like design. Notice the boat has its name on it - Seas 'n' Tickets and the owners name is surrounding the boat. A definite conversation piece!

Pitcher and Glass sets

This customer purchased the pitcher and glass sets, and just ask that I do whatever I wanted with them. She and her husband have a camp in A Bay, and they intend to put a set in each one of the guest bedrooms for company. What a lovely idea! Each glass (which fits on top of the pitcher - LOVE that) is decorated with coordinating stripes - they match the floral pattern on each pitcher. I even decorated the bottom of each glass and INSIDE each glass is also a flower surprise as well!

Custom Sign

This customer wanted this sign in particular. It matches the same one that is displayed roadside as you enter the town of Forks, Florida. She sent me the dimensions she wanted and a picture of the Welcome sign. That's all I needed...................
