All Cracked Up!

Who EVER was the meanie that decided crackle finish would be cool? I have a client and I'm trying to update his built-in which was COMPLETELY painted in crackle paint. The problem is, I've tried sanding it down - I swear this stuff was made out of partial titanium - and even after sanding a door and priming - the crackle still shows through. This is the result (above) of sanding, primer and paint over the crackle. Sheesh. I'm actually working on something in a brown that looks like leather - could turn out to be cool. But in the meantime, I'm cracking up - big time!

Corner Component Cabinet - almost done

As a follow up to my blog dated April 30th, here's the progress of the corner component cabinet. The client hung a plasma TV over the fireplace and needed somewhere to put all the stuff for the TV as well as add'l seating. Solution - a Huh?-designed piece. It still needs cushions and the swivel table top is yet to be set - just sitting for placement in this photo. But as soon as it's done, I'll show you the finished result and perhaps you can get an idea on what to do with all the components that come with your TV! Better yet, perhaps you'll give me a call or email and ask me to design one for you!

Final Photos of the Zebrawood Piece

It's done! It was actually done about a month ago, but I forgot to post photos of the cool Zebrawood console table, buffet or whatever you want to call it. This may just be my favorite furniture design to date! Funky furniture, cool wood and lots of fun!
