Chests of Drawers and Cupboards
BRIGHT or MUTED colours in a variety of designs. Colour and design themes are either those commissioned by Eclectique Cellar furniture shop where I had a workshop space, or by an Interior Designer I was working with whose clients asked for specific colours and theme to compliment their interior design. I visited clients' houses to assess the room and soft furnishings colours.
Oregon Trail Chest of Drawers
Chest of drawers was coordinated with Oregon Trail chest theme; painted with flowers from the Oregon Wagon Trail, which the owner had been travelling for holidays. She had observed and explained in detail the types of flowers along the way, so I could research prairie images which she verified authentic to use. Beige overall background is dry brushed (streaked) in several beige tones to give effect of dry bush lands and dusty trail. Inside of drawer panels and side panels have aged 'dirty' corners.
