In our family we are big into reusing old stuff. Not only is it great on the pocketbook, but you get a home that doesn't look straight out of a catalog page....more interesting in my opinion. Sometimes the stuff needs a little fixing up. My dad has to rewire almost every old lamp we find, and lots of times I end up waxing or painting something before I can use it. This drawing is of a couple of vintage treasures from my mom's living room and mine.Wednesday, October 18, 2006

I love to restaure things and I would love to draw as you do!
Great sketch! Love your style.
Nice! I love the lamp. And the texture on the arms of the chair is great. I can feel the fabric.
Very well done. The chair looks so cosy, I'd love to have one like that!
I enjoyed visiting your blog today and seeing all the pictures. I really like this one and the ones of the wonderful poodle. The background on your calendar is really neat too. I love your style!
Love your chair (or mom and dad's chair), your lovely lamp and your homestyle.
Funny thing, I have a lamp just like yours, and I drew it in my sketchbook about a week ago! :-)
Love your drawings.
Lovely drawings - and great furniture!
Thank you!
Nina that's so funny about the lamp!
Again, this is really great. I love the way you use the whole page, much more than a drawing - a little slice of life.
Your blog is wonderful! You've inspired me to start sketching more often, hopefully everyday. Would love to know more about the EDM challenge! :) Marva
