Going Green

the twig & cotton custom chairs went green this last week. thanks to a custom order, we detoured from the staple orange & brown to a bright summery lime. we're diggin' them, what do you think? i like the progression of light in these pictures that show the time of work; early evening with bright sun into late evening with a calming sun and just enough light to capture the key piece. and, your tip for the day, when buffering that last finish coat on any wood surface, use a piece of cardboard just as you would sand paper. it will give it the shine you desire without actually sanding away the surface.  like what you see? we can do these chairs in just about any color.

dry erase board desk.

the other night, steve took our simple black ikea desk apart and hauled it out to the garage. while it was propped up drying, i wondered why he had taped off a section and primed it? little did i know that he hadn't primed it, he had coated it with idea paint also more easily known as dry erase board paint. once the desk was put back together, we sat around and tested out the new note taking/sketch board/child entertaining station. one of those simple changes that becomes highly useful.

[have you heard of dry erase crayons? we love them]

curio.

The latest creation straight from the Twig workshop. That's right, we're not just about baby blocks, we're about big planks of wood.
