Project Gallery


My name is Amy Buchanan, and this is a gallery (2018-current) of past projects - most are sold, but many are reproducible. I work out of my store, Center For Lost Objects, in Saint Paul, MN, which is also my studio where I produce my work. I sell vintage and antique home decor (I love curating and decorating), but what I really enjoy doing is giving furniture a new life - that's where I like to focus my design skills. I use a lot of vintage fabric in my work, and the recent addition of an embroidery machine has led me down a new path!  This is a collection of my design work, and also assemblage, collage, and other design work. Custom design available, contact for more info.
