Your Life Story Hand Painted On An Accent Chair
What's your story? What are your loves, your passions, your memories? Now imagine that story depicted on an accent chair to be a vivid, tangible, treasured reminder of all that is beautiful in your life. Yours alone. That's what this chair could be for you. The chair featured above was made to order for one person, with every minute detail representative of her unique story--from her daughter's favorite snack to the beloved family dog. Your chair…well, that remains to be imagined…and that's what I will do. Contact me, tell me what your story is, and I will create a custom design that is deeply personal to you, and hand paint it into being. Several unfinished chair styles are available for you to choose from. The cost will vary depending on the complexity of the final design, and will be mutually agreed upon prior to purchase. The chairs I use are solid hardwood, adult-sized chairs, suitable for use as desk chairs, accent chairs, or dining chairs. They can be shipped unassembled for a relatively low cost, with easy-to-follow directions and all the hardware included. Once you contact me with your location, I will generate a shipping quote for you quickly. Assembled chairs ship for a much higher rate, but I will work with you to find the best rate possible. I use all non-toxic acrylic paints, and seal each piece with 5 layers of non-toxic acrylic sealer for durability and gloss--clean up is as easy as a wipe with a damp cloth! Let's start a conversation and see where your story and my imagination can take us!

For Keepsake Box, Memory Box, Treasure Box5.0If you want a very special gift for a child or grandchild this is the place and the person who can do that for you. She is talented, good natured, imaginative, and devoted to doing a wonderful job on your project. I cannot speak highly enough about Lara and her work. I have ordered three treasure chests so far and hope the grandchildren just keep coming so I can order more. Another idea would be to make one for yourself to store all the wonderful souvenirs, tickets, menus etc. from a special trip. I know she will make the best souvenir you can buy with pictures of the holiday location so inside is all the stuff collected there and outside fabulous original pictures of that place. I think I will do that for myself.

For Keepsake Box, Memory Box, Treasure Box5.0Lara was terrific to work with. In record time she created two large treasure chests for my granddaughters which they have already fallen in love with. They are two and four and wanted a place for their treasures. The decoration was chosen by my daughter-in-law and Lara did a bang up job putting all the ideas into the design. I have already ordered a third box for another granddaughter who is three. This is such a lovely idea. It is something they will keep forever with their childhood treasures.
