Last week I spent some rushed time trying to fit in a custom made European Luxury bed for a local designer. I was given fabric samples, and color samples, and some blank canvas pieces to work with. She was very clear about describing her vision to me. The bed is going to be very elaborate with a variety of beautiful fabrics enveloping it and a 7 ft wide and 9 ft tall custom made headboard. I can’t wait to see everything once its tied together. I’ll be sure to take some pictures of the final product.
I didn’t get a chance to go in with oil paint and put the final detailed touches on the bed, but will be going on site in a week or two to complete the project. I’m currently working on the daughters custom bed which will be similar but a bit girly and dainty! Its been a really fun project to work on. I love antiquing and distressing things.
Here is what it sort of looks like after being painted and gold leafed! You will have to use your imagination until I get pictures of the bed assembled. A lot of the pieces were poly-styrene so I used a new primer over at Hirshfields to prime everything, including the wood pieces. Soon pictures will come. until then, I’ll be working on the other bed.
You get the idea… I’ll wow you later! lol
goldy love,
