madison contemplations:

the last piece, "madison contemplations" is a long, tall console:

made from heart of pine church pews salvaged from the storage of an old veterinary clinic in Madison, VA and ash legs that have been stained black. 

 

i envision this piece in a hallway.

as you come and go, 

let your eyes dance around on the surface of this beautiful wood and all its little details  

.......and let your mind wander..... 

view from belle plaine:

today i picked up the unsold work from the wood work show.

before loading them up, i got a couple pictures of the sideboard i was working on.

the windows were salvaged from "Belle Plaine" farm, just up the road from us here in Madison, VA, 

and were painted with milkpaint, the same color as the shelves on the interior.

 the side and back panels are salvaged wood, some oak some poplar, also from Madison, VA

-i really wish i had taken a photo of the back to show y'all... it looks really good-

and the beautiful cherry is from my favorite lumber yard, C.P. Johnson, in Culpeper, VA

part of me wished it would sell, as i love seeing my pieces find new homes,

but i am excited to now place this piece into our house where it will hold my grandmother's china
