Design concept
Wrap the classic lines of a mid 19th century empire dresser with something unfamiliar. It’s kinda like I was beckoning this piece to wake up, step outside, and breathe the crisp fresh air! Months ago I sketched a dresser that was wrapped in bold black lines. The design finally found its way out of my sketchbook and onto a piece of furniture.
This piece is for sale. If it doesn’t sell in the next few weeks, I’ll bring it back inside and dress it up in nice neat boring gray (no offense if that’s your favorite color). Update: It sold in my etsy shop before getting the boring gray… gets delivered to its new home soon! More of this type of design coming soon!
or on Facebook.
