Hand Painted Trompe L'Oeil Accent Chair
This full sized hand painted dining chair features a whimsical ribbons n' bows theme, with a charming trompe l'oeil tufted cushion on the seat. The festoon of colorful ribbons form a cheerful bow at the top of the chair before cascading down to wind around the supports and back slats in loops and curls. The lavender cushion is painted with realistic attention to detail--you may think it's a real pillow! The color scheme is a delightful mix of vibrant pastels: aqua, pale green, lavender, butter yellow, and lipstick pink, with gilt accents on the legs. This chair is perfect for a young girl, and is intended to see her through childhood and beyond--current owners range in age from 3 to 13! Using all non-toxic paints and sealers, it's just right as a dining chair, a desk chair, or as a wonderful accent piece. Dimensions are (WxDxH) 17x15x35. I use solid hardwood unfinished pieces from Maywood Furniture. This piece is made to order, and customizations are welcome--note the butterflies and flowers, which were added at the request of this model's most recent owner! Contact me about elements and colors that would make this piece meaningful to YOUR child, and let's see what useable art we can create just for you! Each piece is signed and numbered for authenticity. Please allow 4-6 weeks for completion.

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.
