i heart eddie.
hmm common theme: paint everything white!
Makes me wish I had nabbed my grandmother's secretary.
Hopefully the person lucky enough to snatch it up at the Goodwill did something equally cool with it.
What's important to note, though, is that all of this furniture was in crappy condition beforehand, or was of mediocre quality. Painting a good quality antique would be a travesty.
Oh I love the side table as bar! But sometimes I like a bit of natural wood...those chairs looked kind of nice to begin with. Lisa, you know that you can refinish wood with stain, not just paint!
interesting. love the green detail in the last one.
We as humans have clearly mastered the art of making furniture look new and clean by painting it white. Now, I issue a challenge to future generations: make furniture look and new and clean by doing something, ANYTHING other than painting it white.
love his blog.
I love him on top design...thanks for the link to his blog!
the green inside of the side table/bar is a very cool touch
The man can appreciate a Jadite reamer. Knowing that, I can forgive about anything... ~:o)
Fabulous! the gray chairs are just amazing they look like a million bucks after
