READY FOR MY CLOSEUP?

  

 Run to the news stand and grab an armful of copies of SAN FRANCISCO MAGAZINE.  Story written by the irreplaceable Diane Dorrans Saeks, author of numerous design tomes and host/creator of the Style Saloniste   www.thestylesaloniste.com   and photographed by the talented Joe Fletcher  joefletcherphoto.com.  Both were a pleasure to work with and great fun to see my work through others eyes.

WHITE ON WHITE

Just finished this large cabinet.  The front is composed puzzle-like of different sized doors, the pulls concealed in the edges of the applied circular segments.  Painted with many coats of white and then Burnished and warmed by an applied coat of wax.  The top is whitewashed zinc.

TAKING SHAPE

As volumes are defined and finishes are just starting to show their faces, the promise of a vision realized starts to tease me along.  A pleasure to be pulling this off with the team from Trainor builders trainorbuilders.com
