I have been refinishing and painting furniture for several years now and love finding old, sturdy and decorative pieces that just needed a bit of TLC to redeem and give them a new life in happy homes. My good buddy, artist Sherri Bobzien and I met on Facebook years ago by sending each other messages of encouragement when we saw each other’s Marketplace furniture posts and struck up a pen-pal relationship that’s blossomed into a wonderful friendship. Since she just lives on the other side of the Columbia River in Portland, I asked Sherri to be one of our regular furniture and art contributors when we opened our shop and she graced us with many gorgeous pieces. Here are just a few samples of the pieces we’ve brainstormed and encouraged each other to do over the years, we had a lot of fun creating them!
*Side note- Sherri and I like to name our pieces. It’s fun.
