Onward and Upward With Sweet Lizzie Rose
An eight hundred mile trip to finish Lizzie Rose's pretty little room.
An eight hundred mile trip to finish Lizzie Rose's pretty little room.
This little cottage is over a hundred years old and built from brick. Without an investment in time, these old houses can look forlorn and abused.
This little one wished to live in a fairy castle. So out came the fairy dust to settle on pink painted brick as her very own personal kingdom.
Although I left my custom colored chalk paint in Oregon, Urghhh... Lizzies old dresser was smiling as she received the same treatment as the little side table. Paper and paint.
Thanks to the Graphics Fairy, I always have a beautiful graphic to incorporate into a pretty work. Lizzie loves butterflies and The Graphic Fairy Comes through again for me.
The pretty papers were chosen to embellish these now loved pieces.
I use water based poly instead of Modge Podge. I like the feel a bit better.
I paint the sides of my surfaces before papering. If I don't, the wood grain shows through the fragile tissue paper and ruins the color and effect. You don't necessarily need to do this with the much thicker crafters paper.
Both little lamps were purchased without lampshades. Plain white linen shades were adorned with crystals and ribbon.
Thanks for visiting. sk
