StarFlower

This is the first Dresser pattern we worked with, clearly seeing how it could be adapted to stencils and how great it would be for a floorcloth design.  We loved the original Dresser palette and the first piece we made with the pattern, a rather complicated U-Shaped design, employed this colorway.  Several additional colorways have been explored as have different shapes, all working beautifully in this versatile design.

This floorcloth was made for the kitchen of an 1880 farmhouse in Naselle, WA.  The pattern, with its line and flower center, picks up on the beadboard ceiling and walls.
