The top is a highly burled, eye-catching stunner.

Once the paint is dry, I seal it with a soft polyurethane finish, making the floor cloth nearly impervious to dirt and allergens (just Swiffer to clean) making it ideal for allergy sufferers.<br/><br/>The 9x12 floor cloth pictured is one that is currently in production in our studio. It will receive another color of edging and accent painting on the design. <br/><br/><br/>Convo me to talk about colors and sizes. Pictures of your desired pattern, and specific paint chip colors help ensure we are on the same page.<br/><br/>Since each cloth is painted by hand, variations do exist, but are part of the uniqueness. </span></h3></p>http://randrdesignworks.tumblr.com/post/21451486953http://randrdesignworks.tumblr.com/post/21451486953Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:05:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sqjgojQ01ruqzsjo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Still Life With Brutus</em> (2012).</p>http://randrdesignworks.tumblr.com/post/21451428214http://randrdesignworks.tumblr.com/post/21451428214Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:04:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sqi5fTBE1ruqzsjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Stripping bark is nothing if not hands-on.
