California Dreamin'! This beautiful side table reflects the heart of Southern California, with all the elements that its residents love about it! The table top features a weathered compass rose in black and white. A small shelf at the bottom continues the black and white theme with a distressed harlequin pattern. Hand lettered phrases that epitomize Southern California life scroll down the legs of the table, each one something different: California Dreamin', Golden State of Mind, Sun, Sand & Sea, and Endless Summer. Each of the four apron segments feature a scene from a different beloved California locale: Huntington Beach pier and the Pacific Ocean on the front drawer (even the drawer pull is painted to blend seamlessly with the scene); Saddleback Mountain, an orange grove, and the Katie Wheeler historic library; Balboa Peninsula featuring the pavilion, the Fun Zone and a photobombing sea lion; and Mission San Juan Capistrano with its lovely gardens. This table is truly a one of a kind tribute to my beloved So Cal, and would make a stunning end table, bedside table, or, with a large glass top added (not provided), even a dining table! It was not possible to show every detail in six images above, so if you'd like some close ups just message me. The table stands 28" high, with a diameter of 22", and is made of solid parawood. The exact table pictured is painted, complete, and ready to ship! If you would like different scenes or cities featured, I will create one just for you.

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.
