A custom side table. I was given very specific measurements and that it needed metal accents. Oh, and the top was requested to match the floor coverings they had. The rest was up to me. Metal work done by my artist friend . The client loves the pictures, and now fingers crossed that it fits the desired spot.

What can be more personal than your handprint and a message of love. I'm sure the recipient will treasure this present. We took the original and transferred it to wood.
