Day at the Workshop

Good morning!  One of the tasks required to keep a shop like Paddywac's fun and interesting is working on furniture. Gluing, filling holes, tightening chairs, recovering cushions - it's all necessary. But our favorite of all is getting to paint the pieces. That's when the creative juices start to flow - to look at a piece and say "what color should it be." He's a few projects we've been working on.  What color would you paint these pieces.  We'd love to hear from you.

Now, this vanity is a creamy white, showing off all of its adorable detail.

This desk is a creamy white with distressed blue on the corners and drawers.

 This desk needed the top stripped because of all the paint.  It's now a beautiful white.
 
 This very unique pieces doubles as a cabinet, bookshelf/desk.  It was distressed white.

One of two matching side tables with a drawer.  Now they're a sophisticated shabby chic white.

Most of these pieces will be coming into the shop soon.  We hope to see you.
