It’s been a long time coming, but we finally debuted our first line of Off The Wall Furniture!

When Stephanie invited us to be apart of their Trunk Show, we were so excited to be able to use this opportunity to show off our newest creations, including our tables.  After many questions from some of you wondering why we don’t make furniture and when we were going to start… we now are making tables with our signature style and colors.  Who knows what we will be making next?!

Stephanie and Megan did such a fantastic job with the displays.  The store was absolutely beautiful and they featured everyone’s art with great care and creativity.  Here’s a niche of some of our newest designs.

Jaime and I love to be able to do shows like this.  It’s a great opportunity to be able to get to know all of you and how we can make products that you need and love.  Unfortunately, my partner in crime wasn’t able to make it to this show.  But my sweet husband, Bart came to show his support and was our photographer for the evening.  I think he might just be our number one fan!

This is one of my favorite pieces.  Well, honestly, they all are.  I wanted to take all of our tables home myself.  otwtrunkshow4

Unfortunately, you can’t really get the full picture of our green side table shown above.  It has a Moroccan inspired motif painted on the top.  I guess you just need to take a trip to Bella Vita so you can get a good look.

They have done such a wonderful job arranging each one of frames in the store.  This wall holds many of our designs that can be customized for your own home.  We are constantly coming up with new designs, that we just don’t have the time to put all of them on our website.  A lot of what the store gets from us are one of a kind pieces!otwtrunkshow6

You know we had to put our most popular designs on a table, the Floral Accent Table is shown above, and is currently only available at Bella Vita!

Jaime and I have such a blast building and painting our frames and trays, and now our tables!  It’s definitely a blessing to be able to do what we love, especially this day and age.  Thanks so much to everyone who has supported and encouraged us along the way!

Melissa, I am so proud of you. Best of luck with these new creations. They are fabulous!

Thanks Dianne, you are too sweet. So good to see you here again:) Happy weekend!

Wrongo!!! I think your nieces are your biggest fans! They can’t wait to go to Lissy’s studio and make thier frames this summer. The furniture looked awesome. I think the pictures you added inside your frames really make them pop (or maybe I just notice the frames more with my precious daughters’ faces inside:). If you would like to put some of your furniture items on display in my home feel free. Anything to help you out.

Haha, Heather. I’m sure you would, wouldn’t you?! Seriously, thanks for coming out:)

I’m a big painted furniture fan! I’m sure you are going to sell out of them in no time! Love the tables!

Melissa – this is so exciting! What an accomplishment! I’m really happy for you guys!

PS – Thank you (much belatedly) for listing Nesting INstincts as a sight that “delights” :-) …but I finally realized it’s linking to one old post from last year rather than my home page. When you get a second, would you mind updating the link to http://nesting-instincts.blogspot.com ? thanks Melissa…and congrats again!
