Commission piece - 'For Meg'
A month or so ago I got a phonecall from a lovely lady who had seen me at Seale-Hayne Christmas fayre and wanted to commission me, how exciting!
It turned out that Meg wanted a small table covered to compliment an amazing chair she had recently had painted and upholstered.
Meg had already bought the paper, a lovely mix of old fashionned pictures and prints so it was just down to me to get arty!
I laid the main pictures on top but added a border on the bevelled edge to compliment the chair colours. The legs were distressed using cream and pink paint to create a worn effect which I think compliments the paper.
I really enjoyed creating this piece and Meg was a joy to create for!

'From Me to You'
My second commission complete! I am really pleased with this one, I think it makes a very ordinary music stand truly unique!
The music stand and Beatles book were provided by the client and I just did the rest!
I love the idea of being able to see your favourite band's pictures while you play their music, rather than them all being hidden away in a book on a dusty bookshelf!

Using your loaf!
This is my first commissioned piece and to say I was nervous is an understatement! My friend wanted something for her mums new country kitchen, she provided the book and it was up to me to choose the piece!
I found a plain wooden bread bin and covered it with the brilliant old 1950's cookbook, using other old recipe book pictures for the inside. I matched the handle and hinge to the colour of the stripes on the pages.
H 22.5cm, W 44cm, D 24cm
I love the fact that the book was well loved and complete with all the usual cookery stains, it makes a completely personal piece!

Bespoke items
I keep a stock of items that I have been inspired to create which would make brilliant gifts for that special person or maybe just a unique addition to your home but also I would love to create a piece just for you!
Maybe you are looking for a certain piece of furniture but can’t find what you want, let me know and I can source it and cover it with whatever you like! Or maybe you have a favourite book or piece of furniture, I can use it to create something just for you!
I currently have two commissions on the go, a breadbin (sourced by me) for my friends mums birthday which I am covering with one of her old cookery books, and a wooden music stand covered with a Beatles book both provided by the client. I have just sourced a lovely old fashioned childrens desk and chair that I can't wait to get my hands on!
These days a lot of people seem to buy what they want themselves so buying gifts for a 21st, 40th, 50th, 90th etc can be really tricky, why not give something completely unique rather than the usual shirt or slippers!
I can use photo’s if they are copied on a laser printer so the possibilities are endless. From a tray for great grandma covered with 90th birthday party pictures or photo’s of grandchildren to a coffee table covered with wedding photo’s, let’s face it we spend too much on wedding photo’s to keep them in an album tidied away in a drawer!
I hope you like my pieces as much as I like creating them!
Love Emma x
