Flat Pack, 1830's Style
By lilybeeGot to love the Shakers, what with the clean-lined furniture and the glossolalia. Shakerworkshops.com has some seriously lovely stuff, lots of which is reproduced from patterns used by an original family workshop. The really cool part is that you can buy an unfinished kit for considerably less than the finished piece and put it together and then stain or paint it yourself.
There are a huge variety of different stain and paint colours available
and they're included in the price of the kit. Chairs come with the required
amount of chair tape in lots of different colours (They have a virtual
tape weaver tool to help you choose). And again there are very concise tape weaving instructions on the site.
I p'ticularly like this bench and check out the darker stain/dove grey tape combo
And this rather awesome hat stand.
