UPCYCLED FURNITURE FOR THE AAR RIVER GALLERY © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Pine Cone Chair"

Aar River Gallery; Westminster, CO

This is the time of year that I work on all sorts of projects in preparation for Christmas shows.  This year I will have a good number of different items at the Aar River Gallery in Westminster.  The show begins November 5 and goes through the end of December.  If you are in the area I invite you to stop in.  Becky Silver; gallery owner has a wonderful gallery and an art cottage next door where the show will be housed.  FUN!

This is a fun wicker chair that is a great accent piece for any spot!

This star console table is a great accent piece especially due to it's 1' depth; allowing it to sit in an entry way or behind a couch...The mat on top was made from canvas and painted, stitched and accented just for this piece.  The glass knob is an antique door knob.

This is an old magazine table that I found and decided to adorn it with pattern and closed pine cones; more of a stylized piece...a fun little side table for just about any room!

SO, the Galloway studio is busy with all manor of items...stay tuned for more!

HAPPY CREATING!

"ASPEN STORAGE BENCH" ORIGINAL UPCYCLED FURNITURE © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Aspen Upcycled Piano Bench"

$120 + $10 delivery in town

contact me for shipping out of town

 

 

I used to upcycle furniture even before the term was created.  I love taking something and adding to it to change it in some way.  This started out as a piano bench...and can STILL be a piano bench, or sit at the foot of the bed, or be a coffee table (it's a little tall for feet on it, but who would want to put your feet on this!!)...or, or, or...  The inside is 2 1/2" high, the dimensions are:  21" tall; 24 1/2" wide; 13 1/2" deep.  I've put my signature aspen all around the sides and on the top.  I enjoy the tapered legs for that vintage feel, but the black accents give it a contemporary look.  The neutral color is "oregano"; which fits into just about any color scheme!

Yes, the trees go all the way around!  The oregano color is inside as well!
 

 

I will be taking "Aspen Piano Bench" to the AAR River Gallery in Westminster for the holidays, so if you are out of town and interested, please contact me before you purchase!
