Typography on Furniture





Hello Friends,
I've been busy. Still having fun with furniture makeovers. Have you noticed the trend of typography being transferred to furnishings? I think it's been around a while but I really like it.
The sideboard above has had an antique french advertisement applied to the drawer fronts. The whole piece was repainted and distressed and then sealed with satin varnish.  I'd like one of these, please, in 1:1 scale.

The little pouf ottoman in the pic with the sofa was made using the cardboard tube from a roll of ribbon.  Easy peasey!

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Hand Painted Miniature - French Rococo Kidney Side Table





Hello Friends :) Thank you so much for your kind words, so much appreciated.

I've done up another little Rococo piece. Still rusty with the painting...have get smaller!  I feel like the roses are a bit too large on this piece. It is so tiny and delicate. Very well made little piece that I purchased unfinished.

Still working on the website so I will probably list my first few pieces in my Etsy shop.

Hope you are having a wonderful day...trying to stay warm around here!

Shabby Coastal Living in the Dollhouse









Hello Friends :) I hope you are having a happy day. It is beautiful here today and has been for most of the week.

I've been busy. This idea was floating around in my head...well, sort of...I'm still learning to make things look the way they are in the pictures in my mind. I think the most fun is coming up with ways to engineer things. I did get some little things cast in resin, but boy, is that difficult LOL!
I am going to have to take a class or something. I also made the cold porcelain as mentioned in my last post but really haven't tried to make anything with it yet. It is very lovely and creamy in color with a slight translucence. I hope it's durable.





Almost all the little bits and bobs are hand made. The only exception being the little shell dish full of pearls and tiny shells...it's an old earring.

This set is going into the shop...includes the rug.
