Spindley Pieces

Monday, February 22, 2010


Are there certain design elements that appeal to you?  There are several elements that appeal to me, but one element that seems to grab my attention is a turned spindle.  I love the look of turned spindles.  Whether it's a floor lamp, bed, desk....I am immediately drawn to it.  This is a departure for me because I usually like classic, simple, and straight lines, but every now and then, I like to throw in a little spindley to keep things interesting.  So, it was no surprise when I snatched up a head and footboard with turned spindles (at a local antique store) for my son's room.  Only $35!










These pics are after we (my husband :)) striped the original paint.  I'll be painting this beauty soon, but more to come on that in a later post.  So, for the fun...I threw in some more spindley pieces:
