A few weeks ago I was looking for fretwork panels to put on my antique secretary. I couldn't find any ready-made fretwork panels. There were custom panels, but they were really expensive and far more than I wanted to spend. I figured I could either go crazy with some balsa wood and glue or just put it on the back burner for a while. Not being the crafty sort, I left it alone.
Yesterday I was reading Gorgeous Shiny Things (remember this amazing painted chiang mai dragon wall she did a few weeks ago?), and LO AND BEHOLD, she has come up with another amazeballs idea: ready-made fretwork panels. When she remade an Ikea Pax armoire and couldn't find any inexpensive ready made fretwork, an idea was born:
She's put her panels on a Malm dresser:
and a Rast dresser:
and walls and mirrors and anything that will stand still.
These are just awesome.
Danica announced that the business would go live next week, and I am so excited. I will be first in line to order panels for my secretary, and anything else I can think of to put these things on.
Kinda makes you want to run out and get a Pax armoire, doesn't it?
P.S. I can't get that chiang mai dragon wall and its awesomeness out of my mind. Its giving me ideas for my bedroom....
