Like many things in our home, we are constantly rearranging and trying new layouts as additional paintings join the collection, and I actually have one that is yet to be hung (probably above the ornate frame at middle of the top row) but I just don't like the frame color so I will be painting it soon.
This dresser went to a teenage girl's room and the blue armoire went to her younger brother. They definitely have one cool dad in my books!
It looks like I need to break out the level and get them all straight again...
But it is really surprising how affordable it can be to do a wall of original art when you dig around at antique malls and thrift stores. I admittedly splurged on 2 of the paintings ($125 and $85), but the total is still under $500.
And because I know some of you have been waiting to see the blue armoire, I don't want to keep you waiting any longer.... unfortunately this is the best shot I have because it has already gone on to a new home! I think I should try and go back and collect up all the garage shots I have of pieces that went to new homes long before I ever had the chance to photograph them.
But here are a few from the last week that were about to come inside, but found new homes as clients dropped off other items!
The blue armoire, pre-bottom knobs.

These cute side tables went together, and will soon be seen in a lovely boutique in British Columbia.
Seeing them in the "studio" definitely isn't as glamorous, so kudos to all my clients who look beyond that!!
