The perfect child-sized spot for tea parties, color-fests, reading, building, dreaming…tailored to YOUR child! The pictures shown are of an original design created for a little cutie cowgirl named Paisley, and tell the story of a long trail ride and a stop for a healthy snack--it's a windy day, so the sturdy leather hat is helping the pretty pink paisley cloth from blowing clean away! I paint children's furniture that is intended to engage, spark the imagination, and maybe inspire an adventure or two! I will work with you to determine the theme, colors and personalized details that would be meaningful for YOUR child, and create a one of a kind story just for you. The pictured set was a family heirloom furnished by the client; new sets are made out of sturdy, solid hardwood. I use all non toxic acrylic paints and sealers. Clean up is as easy as a wipe with a damp cloth! All pieces are signed and numbered for authenticity. Please allow 10-12 weeks for completion.

For Keepsake Box, Memory Box, Treasure BoxIf 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 BoxLara 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.
