Custom Accent Furniture is "In the Studio"

The dust was flying in the studio last week. Preparing the "canvas".. Or actually preparing the raw wood  to a smooth surface for the chosen textures, that is the first step.  Adding the texture is next, then the final sand.

These commissioned pieces, a 6 foot console and a 4 foot bench,  will be fitted with  stainless steel accents and will head out for the final paint finish by the end of the week. Both pieces of furniture are contemporary, custom and handmade.  Stay tuned for the end results.

Go Private

I love a private museum. They can be out of the ordinary. You can skip crowds, lines and tour groups and there are fabulous gems around the world. Some are in former homes of the patrons such as Peggy Guggenheim’s in Venice, Italy.

_________

 The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia has the world’s finest collection of Impressionists, Post Impressionist and Early Modern painting.

_________

Foundation Maeght is one of my all-time favorite Museums. Located in Saint-Paul-de-Vence above Nice, this private art collection of 20th Century Modern art and it's setting is unparalleled.

A true museum in nature, the Maeght Foundation is an exceptional site that contains one of the most important  collections  including works by many important 20th century artists.

I learned so much more about the foundation and it's legacy from this article in France today http://bit.ly/JVXnu3  

These museums are personal projects and allow you to see a passion of collecting that spans eras and genres.

Where ever your travels take you, I hope it’s filled with a visual feast.
