Past completed projects

Here are some past projects I have completed.  Some of these pieces I found at auctions, flea markets, yard sales, thrift shops, or some great people passed them onto me.  Others were commissioned for me to paint from individuals looking to update and breathe new life into old pieces!

If you are interested in having me upcycle your furniture or are looking for a particular piece, you can contact me at 724-989-0689 or carlarhodes@zoominternet.net
