Lu's Cabinet

We delivered this cabinet to it's owner yesterday and she... LOVES IT!! :-) We took this old rustic piece and made something sleek and modern with an Asian flair. We love doing custom pieces!

Beteabon Blog: My Interview with Kristin and Nan at TheVelvetBran...: "The Velvet Branch is a unique name…And a mother daughter team is unique as well!! Please tell us how they both came to be. The Name...."

Gorgeous!

We have finished the white nightstands! They have been painted a pure, clean, bright white and the drawers have been decoupaged with this really amazing white and blue, modern, floral fabric. To top it all off, we added the cutest little glass knobs. It is elegant and sophisticated, yet playful and modern. They will be posted on our website soon and we can't wait to see everyone's reactions. :-) Let us know what you think (will post the pics tomorrow).

Moving Right Along

Today in The Velvet Branch workshop, we're working on a pair of nightstands. They need a lot of work, but when we're done, they will be awesome! Right now I'm in the process of sanding and priming. Then they'll be painted and decoupaged with this really great navy blue and white striped fabric. I can't wait to see them finished! :-) You'll be the first ones to see them when they're done, so keep checking on us for progress updates. Plus, you never know what we'll be working on next if you don't keep an eye on us.

Freshly Painted and Ready to Go

These new furniture items were just finished last night. We haven't posted them on our Etsy shop yet, so if you see something you like, just ask us for more info. There is a pair of vintage 1980's barstools that we have hand painted green (custom mixed color: First Spring) and stamped with a paisley pattern on the seats. The other item is a vintage piano bench that we have brought into the 21st century by giving it a modern red paint scheme (custom mixed color: Music to my Eyes) with some badass black stripes.

Cutest Lamp Ever?... I think so.

We found the most adorable little vintage lamp the other day and we were taking some pics of it last night to put on our website. However, my dad is in love with it! He kept talking about how we should list it for $300! But then I figured out his game. If we list if for that much, no one will buy it... so he'll get to keep it! :-D The Velvet Branch: 1, Dad: 0. By the way, this lamp hasn't been posted to our shop yet, so those of you reading this right now, have the first crack at it. Be quick, get it before my dad does.
