Do you often admire painted furniture and cabinetry featured in magazines or on TV.  You know the pieces I’m talking about.  They have multiple layers of paint, distressed areas, unique hardware, decorative wood details, etc.  The process of reviving your old furniture is both easy and inexpensive. I will show you how to breathe new life into your furniture, cabinets, mirrors, picture frames, etc. Caromal Colours Country Living Paints and products are featured in my makeovers.  They are user friendly, “green”, and produce excellent results. Please bring pictures of your furniture or cabinets you want to makeover and also pics from magazines with the look you would like to achieve.  We will paint, distress, age, change hardware, etc., on some of my work projects.  The finishes we can reproduce are endless.  You will paint 2 wood samples to take home and admire.  I’m looking forward to seeing you.

New Arrivals in Reisa Peters & Susan Davis's booths

Rumor has it that Reisa is working offering artcards prints for her customers of her artwork. They are coming soon - I am excited to see what they look like. In the meantime, enjoy the arrival of 2 new pastel pieces that Reisa recently completed. All framed and ready to go this is an amazing piece. The colors in the photo are completely different then what you see in person - love that it did that - very cool!
Next is this painting on the fruit rolling out of the bucket. All beautiful!

Susan Davis recently took down all her Christmas decor and replaced it with all different whimsical pieces that we have never seen before.

More of Susan's pieces. I love this shutters with the flag painted on them and the wonderfully festive floral collection in the vase.

Come back soon for much more!

Cheers!

Fun Holiday Items

Susan Davis is a newer vendor for us here at ARTifacts. She just totally changed out her booth there this past week. It is all ready for the holidays! I love how she takes regular items from our everyday uses and repurposes them to be a wonderfully creative decoration. I feel so festive already!



This lighted topiary is beautiful! It has the colorful floral at the top, with the art on the candle stick with Susans creative touch added to it.
























This snowman teapot cracks me up! Carrot nose and wonderful teapot hat! She has a couple of these, one large one small.









































Simple birdhouse in wonderful colors, wrapped in grapevine wreath - love the sweet country style of this piece.

This wonderful painting of "eight maids a milking" is a wonderful addition to your holiday decor.

I really enjoy the whimsical look of this chair with the vintage painted skate hanging from it.

Come see what else we have in store for you at ARTifacts.
