As I was not up to doing much this week, I decided to finish off some little projects,
 |
| before |
 |
| I repainted this White, distressed it, I made the desk accessories using some pink leather, the pen holder is a small piece of a straw, covered, the pencils are ends of toothpicks, cut and painted, the hat box was covered in leather, the letter holder is a small finding bent in half and fixed with another finding to make it stand, all the printies are bits I have found on the web. The drawer is filled with personal papers, I have just got to finish a matching chair, with maybe a few more accessories |

| I repainted this cream, added some flower transfers from my stash, then decorated it with china, the jars of jam are bits of tubing cut to size and labels added, there is a recipe box holder, books, letters, cakes ect. I hope I have achieved a cluttered look |
 |
| in the drawer I just cut a small peice of cloth and stuck it to the inside of the drawer, also I cut small squares of white material and made napkins, and put them inside, I then filled the cupboards, making them from the metal end of a pencil ( the bit that holds the rubber) this seems to be the right size, put labels on them, cut out 2 boxes and again labeled them, I made a small wooden crate and put in some veg |
 |
| no before, forgot to photo, this was dark brown, so I repainted white, added some transfers, added 2 small knobs to the mirror to hold necklaces, made perfume bottles, the small shell was an earing, I took off the back, covered with felt and found a jewellery peice that looked like a broach, I made the jewellery using bits from my stash |
 |
| in the top drawer is personal papers, the small cupboard hols more perfumes, soaps, ect. the drawers hols some clothing, I made a nightie, 2 prs of knockers and a small top. with all my miniatures I like to add a touch of realism and hopefully give that lived in look, I take my inspiration from magazines, pictures and things that I would like. I will be putting these on eBay this weekend, along with a few more bits, lets hope they sell/ |
