The inspiration for this piece started when I found it at a thrift store. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure exactly what type of furniture/cabinetry it was. The shape reminded me of a shelving unit or spice rack. As I started painting it, the idea came to life. It reminded me of the balconies in the French Quarter, so I went with it. I included brick siding, various animals and greenery to give it the look I was going for.
