My Furniture Builds - 10/31/08

I decided to post pictures today of the two furniture builds that I had done.  One for the office/guest room and one for the den/computer room/guest room.  When you live in a condo, every space must serve multiple purposes.  Overall I am quite pleased with the furniture.

Den:

The office:


I'll be leaving later this afternoon for a weekend women's retreat.  Its a wooded location so I'm looking forward to seeing the leaves and just being in among the trees on what should be a beautiful fall weekend.

Have a good weekend yourselves.

p.s.

For Bennett who wanted to see the "painting" in the first picture.  I think Megan forgot the "cool" color rule for a few minutes when the red crept in.

    I hope that you have a peaceful and stimulating time on your retreat. The furniture is lovely. I am intrigued by the green picture I see on the wall to the right of the first picture.

    Bennett, that is a self portrait my granddaughter did in an art class several years ago. They were supposed to use "cool" colors. Have you ever heard of "Indigo" children? I always thought she might be one of those so I found the picture fascinating. I just went and took a picture of that and will add above in a few minutes.

    Thanks Jen!

    Thanks Sally. I love that green too. It makes the furniture pop.

    Bennett, I inherited the drum from a shaman friend of mine who died a few years ago.

    Oh how fascinating!! Thank you. This is a great picture. On so many levels. I have not heard of Indigo children, but I will Google them. I don't think (just a guess) she forgot the cool color rule. I think maybe she was wise enough to know that life is balance so she put some red in to balance it, but away from her cool-colored self. A remarkable picture from a remarkable child.
