Decorating with bits and pieces

Sometimes my favorite projects for clients are the little ones, you know, the little touches at the end that  just really pull a room together and make it just  a little more special and more personal. And as an artist, I think work is where you find it, especially in this economy.


Like this airplane nightstand

Or  red and yellow bee chair

(Sorry about the camera cord) This out-dated end table turned roadway and underground parking garage.
candlesticks
 Or even cowgirl table and chair set.  
Or one cute little chair for a corner. 
I really enjoy doing canvases and plaques.






And home portraits.
I just think it's those little things that can really make  a house a home.
Do you have any extra special little touches you use in your home to make it even more personal?

  11. wow, great artwork !! Super idea to do house portraits ...and you've done a fine job !

    You should commission them to real estate agents as a gift for their clients when they purchase a home.
