Custom Painted Hong Kong Themed Kitchen Stool

$550

The busy Star Ferry cuts through the waters of Victoria Harbor, against the dramatic backdrop of Hong Kong's skyline. This stool was created as part of a set of four for a well-traveled family, to depict their favorite, most meaningful travel memories. This series of kitchen stools were created to complement the Custom Painted Dining Table with Travel Theme (see separate listing), and expand on that theme. In the table, elements of the family's home city of Los Angeles appear, with compass points aiming at their favorite destinations, each pictured on a stool. Each stool, each city contains elements chosen by the client for very personal reasons--like the park in London where their daughter loves to play, the carousel in Paris where they spent the afternoon, or in this case, the beloved Star Ferry. In each case, I took the sights and landmarks that had meaning for them, and distilled them into one image, to transport them back to a happy moment and a magical place. The customization possibilities here are endless, really. Where does your heart long to return? I'll help you get there. Colors, places, sky's the limit. As always, I start with high-quality, unfinished hardwood furniture from Maywood Shops, and hand paint them in painstaking detail with non-toxic acrylic and latex paints, and at least 3 coats of non-toxic sealer, so clean up is as easy a a swipe with a damp cloth. Each piece is signed and numbered for authenticity. Please allow 6-8 weeks for completion.
