It's been (and continues to be) busy around here! With the countdown on...just two days to go...to the YMCA Chairs for Charity event, I'm up to my eyeballs in chairs!
Take a look at what's been going on.
For Brio Gusto, a fantastic restaurant in downtown Peterborough. The pillow is handmade - I used contact paper on which I traced a pattern I'd printed out. A little latex paint and a stencil pouncer...and voila!
A chair for the New Canadians Centre, a place for learning, playing, and helping in the heart of Peterborough. A second hand printed pillow - this one less boozy and more patriotic!
A chair sponsored by Joie de Vie a gorgeous clothing store full of special items with something for everyone. It's a feast for the senses - they even have specialty soaps and other niceties!
Two matching chairs for the Peterborough Examiner, one of our local newspapers. I love these chairs!
This one is one of my (and my husband's) favourites! No sponsor, but full of character and extra-fun to create! Inspired by Robin Hood (and will be auctioned complete with tiny Robin figurine). I used all kinds of recycled materials here including a previously loved leather skirt and a solid leather belt.
Refinished for the Silver Bean Cafe "your waterfront cottage in the city" and a relaxing place to enjoy delicious homemade food and drinks, riverside. More than worth checking out in the summer, and open especially for the Peterborough Festival of Trees Nov. 28 to Dec. 2. Grab a hot drink!
You've seen this chair before! The first one I did and sponsored by Hi Ho Silver a jewellery store offering unique pieces - they've also carry accessories and a large selection of special greeting cards. Worth visiting! Pick up something special for someone special this holiday season. ;)
Meow! This hot little number is decadent and edgy, just like Bloodline Parlour, a hip hair salon located in downtown Peterborough. A team of talented stylists help to bring the vision of two sisters to life - I get my hair cut here and nowhere else! Great cuts, great girls!
I love this chair! It was one of the earlier chairs I completed and I adore the hand stitching and button accents. You can see more info in posts below (plus a close up of the back support where all the action is!)
The 'before' photo for this adorable chair is disasterous and not worth seeing - the after is sweet and perfect for a nursery or playroom. A child-sized rocker made over by our very own artist, Shannon Taylor. Love it!
