• ~Her Chair Was Just Right~

  Here is a little sitting area, at our home,  ”The Painted Nest”. We use it mostly as a place to put on and take off our shoes. The chair, a vintage flea market find for $2.00, was in bad shape visually, but quite sound, structurally. So, The Muse was quick to grab this treasure! Upon bringing it back to the studio…it was sanded down~stained~glazed~the cane insets, painted a crackle white~the velvet green was painted with a hand-mixed fabric dye~and lastly, [...]

• ~A Wee Bit of Fabric~

  I am not really sure that you can put a specific design name to The Painted Nest. Our cottage doesn’t fall into one style category, for it reflects not only our farm life…but our outside interests. (click pics to enlarge~if you dare!) Items we have gathered on our travels here and abroad…fill our home…as well as wondrous treasures passed from generation to generation. And there are handmade treasures that tell secret stories. For years…our cottage was all white. Various shades of white…aged [...]
