Where Furniture Ends Up After It Leaves My Workshop
It's been an exciting year here at Entri Ways filled with new projects, new stories, and a role in a movie. Yes, a movie! One of my refinished furniture pieces will be staring in a movie being filmed in Boston right now. Very exciting!
My refinished furniture posts always showcase the painting process, but what I rarely share with you is where these pieces end up after they leave my workshop. Some of the stories are actually pretty interesting.
