Meet Francesca, a mid 19th century French Louis XV style girl dressed in classic French attire in a blue / green and off-white milk painted dress trimmed in just the right amount of gold leaf. She has a hidden surprise with beautiful drawer inserts to compliment her exterior finish. (They’re easily removed if desired.) Her sturdy solid red oak frame and drawers have had their beautiful carvings highlighted with gold leaf and her entire body aged to perfection (considering she’s approximately 170 years old). We know her age from the mechanical pit saw marks on a few of the drawer boards. Mechanical pit saws were used in the NY area beginning in 1840 with circular saws beginning use in 1900. She’s perfect for an entry cabinet, linen chest, or even a bedroom chest of drawers.

I discovered a love for painting on canvas nine years ago after attending an evening art class with a friend. I thought it would be good to push myself to try something new and get away from my daily grind in front of a computer. I loved it and realized I wasn’t half bad! Fast forward to Covid lock downs in 2020. Another decision to push myself to embrace learning something new while stuck at home. I took a series of classes offered remotely with live zooms that fed my desire for connection and community. In 2021, a new passion was born taking my love for painting to a new canvas - furniture! Plus, I gained the added satisfaction of restoring a once discarded vintage or antique piece and breathing new life into it. Each piece includes proper repairs, if needed, and a custom finish honoring it’s original style for you to cherish and enjoy for generations to come! You will see I love to retain any beautiful wood when I can. I gained an appreciation for beautiful wood as a little girl helping my father with various projects from building a wood frame for the hull of a speed boat he designed and built in our garage to refinishing an antique baby grand piano! I hope you enjoy the transformations and pieces shared here in my shop! Each one is given a name to suit their style and unique story. Enjoy!
