Spindley Pieces


Are there certain design elements that appeal to you?  There are several elements that appeal to me, but one element that seems to grab my attention is a turned spindle.  I love the look of turned spindles.  Whether it's a floor lamp, bed, desk....I am immediately drawn to it.  This is a departure for me because I usually like classic, simple, and straight lines, but every now and then, I like to throw in a little spindley to keep things interesting.  So, it was no surprise when I snatched up a head and footboard with turned spindles (at a local antique store) for my son's room.  Only $35!










These pics are after we (my husband :)) striped the original paint.  I'll be painting this beauty soon, but more to come on that in a later post.  So, for the fun...I threw in some more spindley pieces:
