Lab Stools
This pair of laboratory stools came from a school or workshop, and were in need of a lot of TLC when they came to us. Susan created a marvelous finish, and we loved them so much that they adorn the Cottage kitchen and wood shop.

A dear friend of ours had this sideboard, and wanted it to be redone in Tiffany Blue! Susan created a new custom color that was just what our friend wanted. The sideboard has been completely transformed and now provides great storage as well as brightening the space!

French Letter Desk………..sold
One of our favorite pieces, this desk was hand-painted and hand-lettered. The desk surface has a French letter lovingly hand-painted, each line and stroke brushed on to create a look very similar to the quill pen that was originally used in the letter. Each drawer has a decoupage of a graphic of stamps from all over the world. The glass and metal knobs add an elegant look.
With the drawers open so that the inner detail can be appreciated:

Custom dresser for a baby boy
This beautiful dresser was hand-painted for a new baby boy in Newburyport. He’ll be able to use it for a lifetime, and can look forward to seeing his initials each time he opens the drawer. Born to an avid skiing family, his parents wanted to have drawer designs that would fit their lives. Susan worked with them to choose a color and finish for the nursery, and hand-painted the drawer graphics.
The top two drawers have skiers slaloming from either side, with initials personalizing the right drawer.
A different skier adorns the bottom drawers.
