![]() It’s not quite done yet, but I hope to have it on the blog by week’s end, so stay tuned. However, I was working on a 2nd piece side by side with this one, and it got the full quandie treatment. Southern Canandaigua Lake from Bristol Harbour in October 2014.Available as: small size 7.5 x 16.5 (unmatted) large size 10 x 25.5 (unmatted) 5 panel. I felt like the color gave it enough impact without adding anything else. I didn’t do anything especially fancy or quandie-esque with this little dresser. First come, first served! If you are interested, just leave me a comment and I will get back to you. This lovely little chest of drawers is priced at $155 (local only please, sorry, but I don’t ship) and I will be posting it on craigslist later today. You could stash all of your reading materials inside, and even have room to store some spare blankets. This petite chest of drawers is the perfect size to use as a bedside table. ![]() To be honest, I did attempt to fill them kind of haphazardly and they looked so terrible after paint that I had to drill them all out again to put the original pulls back on. However, there were 2 holes for these knobs and I didn’t have the patience to fill the extra ones properly. Originally I was going to change out the hardware for a simple knob. As you can see, the top is pretty much a chip free zone, as are the sides and drawer fronts. However, the sanding alone produced pretty darn good adherence on the flat surfaces (I did not use the bonding agent). It had such a shiny finish, I was worried the paint would just all chip off entirely. I did sand this piece pretty thoroughly to reduce chippy-ness. Once that was done, I painted it in MMSMP in Kitchen Scale, a gorgeous jewel tone color that is perfect for autumn. What would I do without Ken? He is so handy and he can just whip out these repairs. One of the drawers was missing its runner, so Ken built a new one for it. It is your classic Duncan Phyfe-ish style dresser and it originally had that typical cherry stain that most of these pieces came in. 8 - Tokyo Report by joe Golden ginkgos along Tokyo's Icho Namiki (Gingko Avenue) Continuing our coverage of this year's autumn color season in Tokyo, I headed back to the city today check on a few of the city's most impressive spots to see koyo (the Japanese word for autumn leaves changing color). I wish I’d had my camera with me!īut this post isn’t really about autumn leaves, it’s about this sweet little chest of drawers. I was standing at the gas station filling my car yesterday, and I was just mesmerized by a stand of trees with red leaves across the street that were just beautiful. Fall color is at its peak right now in the Twin Cities, and it is absolutely gorgeous out there. On a sunny day, my house is filled with a bright yellow light. These trees along the side of my driveway turn the most brilliant yellow in fall. So I crammed a little title in at the bottom instead. For this next piece I did that as usual, but then when I sat down to edit the photos, I realized that I didn’t want to cover up the beautiful fall color in my trees. We have been enjoying the Toronto Fall, and these are some of the pictures we clicked of the changing colors.When I take photos of furniture for my blog, I tend to leave some space in the top of the frame on some for adding a title later. And it also symbolizes – change as the old leaves fall off for the new ones take their place. The beauty all around, makes us want to enjoy every moment before the cold sets in. And this month of October surely deserves a post on Fall Colors. There are colors all around us – the backyard, roadsides, Parks and almost wherever you look. ![]() This season of colors looks beautiful and it feels like everything comes alive. Definitely, one of the most wonderful time of the year – when everything gets splashed with the leafy colors – Yellows, Oranges, Purples & Reds along with the browns.įew beautiful lines from “Merry Autumn” by Paul Laurence Dunbar ( link) : This season of change brings with itself cooler breezes and brighter hues. ![]()
