 before I give it a paint finish.

history and age.

lighting pieces with country French style."

 relaxed rustic French".

 Rustic Paint Finishes

I love creating heartbreaking old finishes.

Shades of the SEA...Sea dream catchers.

Entangled, caught and trapped from the sea.

My imaginative dream catchers are created with hands that gather from

the sea.

Intertwined wire with crusted sea foam capturing quiet dreams from

the deep sea. 

   

 A Storied Sea

Dreams that gather deep from the sea, oyster shells, sea pearls,

fisherman's netting all entangled in wire from the open sea.  

 Pieces of sea serenity can always be added to a

sea dream catcher

" Tied to the sea"

 Sweet sea dreams dot the shores.

Living an

AUTHENTIC

LIFE

by  Dore  Callaway 

On the fringe of life, I found myself being the curator to

what was unfolding within me and in my design life. One

morning in January of 2010, I awoke to an encouraging,

meaningful quote by George Bernard Shaw: "Life isn't

about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself."

   

 Somerset Life magazine feature...

Pages 36-45

 It's The rustic AND

romantic MIX THAT CREATES

A well-loved home.

Everything I bring into my Southern California home calls out

in flaws through design artistry, hinting at the history; it makes

for an inspiring place.

I am proud of my home and its authentic

French countryside spirit.

 

I embrace a dusty pale palette of 

darker shades of white influenced by distressed, tarnished, and

gently tattered remnants and objects.

 

I use my imagination to see that no object is hopeless if

looked at with vision and purpose.

 

Thank You

SOMERSET  LIFE
