Before I was a furniture chic, I was a jewelry designer for 7 years. My business was Ellenay Designs & I lived & breathed it. I made vintage style jewelry & custom pieces from whatever cool things I came across. Finding an estate sale in the middle of nowhere, with bags of broken, aged rhinestones on little wooden tables, literally made my heart skip a beat.(and, potentially knock over old ladies & small children....OK, not really...I meant young women & large kids) but, If you're an antique lover/treasure hunter, you know exactly what I mean. Pretty soon, I fell in love with much bigger projects. Taking a disastrous piece of furniture & making it gorgeous became my new passion. And so....The Painted Willow was born. I've decided though, I want to do both. I really miss the jewelry & have decided to spend one week a month just focusing on it! I'll be having online trunk shows & special events to display my new line. I'm pretty excited about this & can't wait to be doing both of my passions. So....if it's sparkly or dusty, watch out & hide grandma...I'm on the hunt!
