Padded, Tufted Headboard


My friend Nancy had a picture of a headboard that she had been saving to have made. Then she lost the picture. She described it to me and I found another picture of it and we had it made by a fabulous craftsman in Jersey City. If you think having something made is more expensive it isn't always, especially when you find the right artisans. If anyone is looking for a beautiful, unique covered headboard we can do it for you.

Chinese Brush Painting

I have done quite a bit of Chinese brush painting and here is one example. The paper is made of rice and is very thin. Traditionally it is done with a large brush and black ink. It takes a lot of practice to control the ink and water and the brush. This is a fairly abstract painting of chrysanthemums which is an important flower for the Chinese. I have also done a fair amount of color brush painting. My paintings are fairly large, around 15" x 20". If you are interested in looking at more let me know.

Renovation of a Boys Bathroom


Well week one of my boy's second floor bathroom renovation. This was a 1960's bath with a much needed redo! I will post a step by step process of this project. If you have an old 1895 house what style would you use? Traditional, Eclectic, or Modern. Look and see the blog the next couple of weeks while I make my design choices.

Featured artist-Keith Anderson


This is one of our featured artists who we represent. Keith Anderson lives in Bozeman, MT and is an architect and fine artist. He has a beautiful studio on his property where he works in a medium called egg tempera on a very heavy paper that he has made for him. He has been influenced by the western landscape but has recently moved towards an abstract landscape and has been influenced in that by Paul Klee. Go to our website www.indigodesignandinteriors.com to see a few of his pieces. If you are interested in seeing more respond to our blog or website.
