May’s New Growth

As May springs forward with all the Beltane promise of abundance and joy, I finished a new Art Furniture piece. In the Steampunk tradition of updating the old with swankety style, this New Growth Lingerie Chest is waiting to gracefully adorn your dressing room.

New Growth Lingerie Chest by Yabette

In this city by the bay, a dresser of this size and shape is in great demand, utilizing tall, thin spaces with the utmost practical beauty. Working with the patina, flaws and aged beauty this piece possesses, I added the energy and artistry of this hand painted tree to make this the focal art piece of your room.
