Yellow Quail Furniture Redesign

Well, it's official--the website is down! I plan to come back at some point, but for now, Yellow Quail is closed down. I look forward to more projects in the future, thank you all for your support.

It’s been a while since we talked about business-y things, so I decided to answer a reader e-mail about starting a creative business...

“How did you get to the point where you could go shopping and buy items for Lucketts and other shows? I really don’t have any income to back what is burning in my heart to do and I don’t want to borrow money to do it. I remember reading in one of your posts that you were on a limited income too..."

Ah, yes, Denise. What you’re asking about is buying power...

I'm going to try painting upholstery again! Any color suggestions for this recliner? She'll be for sale after :)

Remember this little ray of sunshine? It's now up for sale, for just 175.00! Posted on local sales sites as well, so contact me quick if you'd like a little happy in your home :)

Woah! Great tips, shared from an awesome blogger, thrift diving!

Interior design cheat sheets FTW.

I actually did a furniture project recently! I'm putting more effort into learning upholstery, so did a 'free' favor for a local couple :)

Big thanks to West Coast Resale for purchasing the antique goods I haven't had time to sell :) saved me so much hassle and worry. Go check them out to find lots of cool things!

And, for anyone wondering, I've been keeping busy publishing text magazine, Nanaimo's first free art and literature magazine! Sorry about my disappearance lately :)

I'm still alive!
I've been working three jobs to pay for the new Nanaimo based free literary magazine (text) but am cutting back a bit now so I can focus on my love of furniture redesign! See you all soon!

These are pieces that I have purchased, and have not yet redesigned; let me know your ideas, and we can work together to make them something you will love!
