I’ve always been a fan of Degas and I took ballet from the age of four. This recreation of Degas paintings by prima ballerina Misty Copeland is just too cool not to share.

My friends Cheryl and Dave ventured west a few years ago and have been happily living the bohemian life as designers and artists. Dave is a crafty woodworker and built this standing desk/table for Cheryl. It’s beautifully made and I had to share!
