Simple, minimal, elegant. Your dining room set makes a step forward
.jpg)
All right we all get it. Running up and down thrift shops on weekends in desperate search of those victorian style chairs to reupholster or that bite size dining table to repaint keep our humor high and let us feel like we can achieve big goals. We can decorate! We can use our knowledge and our own hands to create something, a start from scratch! The question is this though: would you still be revelling into all that...

Hope Chests?
All this CPSIA got me thinking about some of my older designs that would lend themselves to truly being adult storage solutions. That, and the fact that for every three toy chest orders, someone orders one of my toy chests for their non-kid home. In fact, a lovely woman from NY is requesting a modified Owyn as a hope chest for herself to keep all the wonderful knitted hats, blankets, etc that she creates for her future grandchildren. I know I have a need for a hope chest...or even just a chest in our living room so we can store blankets and...

CPSIA Nightmare
I've been wracking my brain as to how I can help (aside from signing petitions, etc) Save Handmade so today, I took my cause to Oprah. Anyone ever written in about a topic or suggestion to be on Oprah? Well, I did! It seems so unfair that so many of us, who work our tails off building and making non-toxic, eco-friendly goods for kids are about to lose our businesses or face fines of $100K+ for violating the CPSIA ruling because we can't afford the outrageous testing fee. All the while, all along, from day one, we've been using the best, eco-friendly,...

Sycamore Bedside Cabinets
Over Christmas I have been making a pair of Sycamore bedside cabinets for a flat in the centre of Brighton. They have "touch to open" drawers which extend to give full access to the drawer. I had pieces of glass made to protect the top from hot drinks etc. The finish I used was a wax which protects the Sycamore without yellowing the lovely pale white colour of this timb...
