Fall again and most of my photos have to be taken in doors,
in the dim light of our home.
During the colder darker winter months I am always checking the weather forecasts
planning my next photo shoot.
So you can say some of my days revolve around the sun.
Our home is too small for a dedicated photo space so I have to plan the right timing,
rearrange furniture and current projects all to get the right shots.
To get great angles of my furniture I crawl, climb, crouch, and get creative.
One time the fridge was in the way to get the right distance I wanted so
I opened the fridge door and took the shot with the camera from inside.
I enjoy getting great close up shots that capture the fine details of my work
or the beauty of the hardware I chose.
When we are out shopping Im always on the look out for
beautiful things that I can used in my photos.
Like this little silver bird purchased at The Passioate Home in Langley
and sterling goblet I found second hand.
I have imagined this desk with different looks in my space.
Which look is your favorite?

Every now and then something unusual shows up inside my furniture projects.
Like these curtain rods below. Now when I say inside I dont mean in a drawer,
I mean behind the drawers inside the cabinet somewhere.
Really ... how do curtain rods get inside a dresser?
If you know dont tell me it was a retorical question.
Ive found a few Aussie coins and recently a 1965 German Schilling.
I dont assume they will make me rich but they do add interest to the projects.
Another interesting find was the post card dated 1919
but more often then not its just someones missing puzzle pieces,
their discarded matches, a forgotten key, and quite often old receipts.
This one is dated 1976 and its from England.
They seem to be quite polite when
dealing with overdue accounts, it actually says
"Fearing your account has escaped your
notice, we venture to ask the favor of
a remittance within the course of a
few days"
That was awfully nice of them!
Well now back to the project of the day ...
I know a few of you might be getting excited with these sneaky partial pictures,
but please dont get overwhelmed there is bad news coming.
A drawer that has dove tails on the back as well as the front.
Amazing what several hundreds of dollars can buy you huh?
Yes I spent a great deal more than I am use to on this one, but its worth every penny in the end.
She even had a couple of surprises inside for me to find.
2 Golden Key Furniture Keys
Im delighted with that little find, but now the trick will be to find a lock they will open.
Now for the bad news ...
This magnificent, over the top, gorgeous french desk (deep breath)
is already spoken for, but you can see a side by side before and after pic here.
I know that doesnt make up for it, Im a bad bad person for teasing you.
