Rocking Chairs... every home should have at least one!

Our love for antique rocking chairs continues...

This wonderful rocking chair wanted to be a statement piece... painted a bright fuchsia, it welcomes everyone with a smile!

Massive Wicker Rocker was repaired, repainted and matched with the perfect stool...

Sometimes we find antique beauties and all they needed was some TLC... wish we had the room to keep all of our treasures... just saying!

After some cleaning and polishing, we loved the original patina/finish so much that we kept this Antique Windsor Rocking Chair in it's original glory... this chair was soooooo comfortable :)

This extra large rocker was transformed into our most popular Shabby Cottage Chic finish... painted, distressed and sealed for protection!

This "gentleman" hugged you well when you sat down... solid, heavy craftsmanship...

Just a sampling of the transformations... we love rocking chairs!  Every home should have at least one :)

Lamps, lamps and more lamps...

Wow!  Long time since our last post!



















Creativity is in full bloom at mendlbarr... just like our "hybrid tea" rose garden planted awhile back...

Seems that lamps are filling most of my days...  assembling, rewiring, painting and then deciding on the absolute perfect lampshade?  We create one-of-a-kind lighting!

Imagine the changes that evolve by simply switching its finial or lampshade... from elegant to beach cottage to artsy... possibilities are endless!   Final touches with embellishments and paint... ooh la la!



Shipped our first lamp out... client loved it even more in person :)

Stay tuned to a new page on our website that will list our shabby cottage chic furniture as well!   Remember... handmade... because you're worth it!

Houston, TX... our new adventure :)

Hello from Houston, TX... our new home!

Thanks for your business and we hope that you are enjoying your purchases!

 

Now that we've arrived on Texas soil, there's so much to get used to... like having a car :)
We never needed to own a vehicle in NYC... subways, trains, buses and if we needed a vehicle, we had access to HertzOnDemand and could walk up to any type of car we wanted to rent!   Another large change is the climate... we left cold, snowy NYC and arrived to swimsuit and flip-flop weather!

Many opportunities have presented themselves in the short time we've been here... exciting new venues to show at... stay tuned...

Our upcycled furniture creations will be so much easier to do in Texas... more room for sanding, painting and waxing the pieces... dedicated space for our shipping department and for mendlbarr jewelry, too! 

 

 

 As always, you'll find everything we've created in our Etsy, Artfire and eBay shops.   Take a peek... we are creating new items just for you!

Handmade... because you're worth it!
