Since this blog wants to be an homage to all things DIY, it's only fitting to feature the one and only Patti Woodring. Erin, her daughter, and I went to high school together and have been good friends since we rented a brownstone in LP a few years ago. Her mom has been crafting for years and has evolved into a bona fide woodworker. In addition to making furniture for her friends and family (pro bono), she has been making furniture for Erin's friends as wedding presents. I was so excited that she generously offered to make me a Patti Woodring original. I asked if she would make the Pottery Barn TV stand, below;
Just eight weeks after our wedding, she created the exact item and it's now the focal point of our living room.
It's identical, right? I must also clarify that I opted for the lighter gray paint so it didn't overwhelm the living room. It's a beautiful piece of furniture and it was so generous of her to spend her time making this for us. Erin is in negotiation to become her agent, so you may be able to procure your own piece soon!
