Hello Vintage!

Vintage has always been a love of mine. Pieces with "rough around the edges" kinda love have always caught my eye. So, ever since I started my education in Interior Design, a vintage drafting table has been at the top of my long list of wants (and trust me, it's a long list).


With the help of my amazing grandparents, I can now check this item off! We went hunting for an old drafting table and found half of what we were looking for. After turning away and driving all the way out to the road, we knew we had to turn back! It was an offer just too good to resist.


My grandpa did is homework and found an amazing craftsman to replace the particle board top with a beautiful piece of solid oak. It turned out better than I had imagined, and I'm so glad it's mine =)

Retired Navy Diver

Here is my latest (and most challenging) Sketchy Kreation: He is a retired Navy Diver in his Mark V suit. This sketch put me completely out of my comfort zone. There were lots of little details within the subject that easily frustrated me. But I kept pushing through and I'm so glad I did! I loved the way it turned out.
