On May 22nd, 2010, I posted a photo of my IKEA Lillberg sofa, upon which I had painted 3 Van Gogh reproductions. What I did not post, was that I had also submitted the photo to IKEA, along with a proposal to create designs for them in the same vein. IKEA has since sent me a very gracious rejection letter--frankly, I was surprised that they acknowleged my effort at all--and I have since mounted the paintings on stretcher bars and hung them on our bedroom wall (pictured above). I also bought new slipcovers from IKEA, so that our couch is once again comfortable. As noted in my earlier post, sitting against dried, impasto, acrylic paint is darned unpleasant. Duh.
