Noguchi Coffee Table | Modern Furniture

A modern masterpiece! The stunning Noguchi Coffee Table is based on the brilliantly simple design created by the world renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi in 1944.

Displaying an extraordinary harmony of form and function, the table is comprised of only three elements - the glass top and two interlocking wood base pieces.

Beautiful Before and Afters

The last few weeks have been busy.  My son Grady finished just had his last indoor soccer game.  My hubby has found a part time job at Lowes.  He has been in commercial construction for over 20 years and commercial construction has been hit hard.  It is such a blessing for us for him to be starting back to work.  I'm so excited that we also get a discount at Lowes.  We are big DIY's. 

I played basketball last Saturday with Grady and I dislocated my knee.  Ouch! Ouch!  It is healing slowly.  My new name is hop a long!   I'm getting ready to redesign our living room.  Working on picking on paint colors, fabrics and more. 

I can't praise God enough for all of his blessings over the last year.  He is always there and his abundant grace is so amazing to me. 

I love the custom pieces that I get do for people so without further ado......

This person bought this entryway table on-line.  It has great bones.  She was looking for an aqua blue paint and light distressing.

I had the perfect aqua blue.

Light Distressing.

This rocking chair is a family heirloom and from New York State.  The transformation is unbelievable.  It had sat in her bedroom for12 years in disrepair.  It is possible that this rocking chair is 80-100 years old.  This is an antique. 

 The fabric was screaming 70's.

The binding in the seat was a in pieces.

The stuffing that was there had disintegrated.  All of the rust color on the floor is old batting.

Amazing transformation!  Great fabric which the owner choose herself.



The rich wood was not cleaned but walnut oil applied.  It keeps the patina on the the goose neck arms.

The wood was so dry that oil was absorbed quickly.  I love the details on this rocking chair.

Rich chocolate brown trim adds a richness to this piece.

Tattered Butterfly Design is pleased that my customers our happy.  That makes all work worthwhile is to see smiles when they see their piece re-styled for the first time.

Tips and Tricks of Painting

  I have people asking me all the time "How did you do that?"  Below are a few tips that help when painting laminate furniture.  Yes, I said laminate.  It can be tricky but this hutch turn out great.  It was heading to the dump.  What a shame that would've been!

1.  Use a Deglosser.  What is Deglosser?  It takes off the glossy finish and helps the paint adhere.  Just rub down the piece of furniture and no need to sand.  Go ahead and start painting.  (Lowe's & Home Depot)

2. Unattch the pack of the hutch.  Pick your favorite wall paper, I prefer prepasted.  It's one less step I have to do to get the job done. Lay the back on the floor and then attach paper.  Make sure you get out all the air bubbles.  Use yardstick to gently go over the wall paper in one direction.  Let dry completely.  You don't want your paper crooked.

I love the transformation of each piece.  Seeing something that looks so broken can have a second life.  It reminds me of how God is with us.  He is never done with us.  He is always transforming our lives.  His grace, mercy, and love always there.

It's built using the highest tolerances with the intent that every inch of the home is and remains quality.

One of Mr. Ngai's greatest creations at 678 Kaulana Place is on the market for sale.

With the Hawaii Real Estate market in a most evident recovery, Hawaii Loa Ridge home shoppers should keen their eye on Mr. Ngai's home at 678 Kaulana.
