I’ve been working on my house lately, in case Country Home or Cottage Living or another mag finds out about my shop and wants to photograph my house as well. It’s 675 square feet, and used to be the processing center of the old chicken ranch I live on. I’m a renter, and although I...Read More

These are from a mission, not sure which one, but they look Mexican by the wood (cypress). They are all handmade and one of a kind. Rush seats are in perfect condition. They have been tightened, and are on the short side because they have been used for such a long time, the legs do...Read More

  The dental cabinet is truly beautiful. It had beveled glass on the front and sides. The desk is “Texas biedermeier” , it’s pine, circa 1830. It’s in perfect condition, just needs some cleanup and waxing. I love the way the front legs flare out. It is so delicate. I can’t wait! The red things...Read More
