Found During Demo Part 2

We had so much fun with our original "Found During Demo" post that I had to ask if anyone can guess what these are? Found in a demo of a 1939 bathroom.

Sofa and chair recovered

In watching design shows, it always seemed that it would cost more to recover than to buy new. We bought this pair for $50 at a garage sale and stopped in to a local (Vegas) upholsterer ...»
and was thrilled with a quote of $295 for both including fabric.

Our latest beat up find. ..

Overman pod chairs, in need of serious recovering. The picture might not show it but one is actually painted red, complete with finger prints on the back where the paint hadn't dried before they handled it. The white one is missing its bottom cushion. Both have cigarette burns, not uncommon for the time period they lived through.

Carved Emu Eggshells

Emu eggshells are smaller than the ostrich eggshells of course. They are also thinner. Not only that, the Emu egg is a deep, dark, emerald green on the outside but beneath that outer ...»
shell there are several layers that have different color pigments. Right beneath the dark green is a thin layer of gray. Beneath that a teal color that sometimes is more turquoise than teal and as beautiful as a gem. The last layer in every emu eggshell is snow white and paper thin. To expose this through carving is very difficult. But I used the different layers to carve relief work into the shells. Since I have been asked to show more of my work, here are more photos.

Faux Marble Family Room Fireplace Re-Do

We took an outdated 80's fireplace, stripped and started over. My husband built a surround out of MDF and used Fiberglass to reinforce and smooth out edges. We changed the fireplace out ...»
to firetubes and used fire glass instead of gas logs, and I coated the surround in white venetian plaster, tinting it for multiple layers to give the look of carerra marble, then used a feather to add veining. It's polished and shines like marble, and is even cool to the touch, and I even fooled one of my subs who handles marlble and granite every day.
