Spring is Sprung







Country French Kitchen

At long last I've assembled the duplex room box for this kitchen and glued in the wallcovering. I've dry-fit the clay tiles, the small window, and the French windows. The furniture with some of the accessories will fit in nicely. My plan is to glue on ceiling paper and beams plus I'll put mortar between the clay tiles. Window treatments will come much later as I never can decide what to do. There will be a copper rack hanging over the work table for copper pots & pans and a lovely little French Parlor chandelier for over the table. Obviously this is a work-in-progress ~ I just wanted to see if I was going in the direction of the ideas I had in my mind. Often that doesn't happen.....

Sewing Room

The new wallpaper has been added and a different window installed. I haven't made a window treatment yet as I still haven't decided what I want it to be.

Spring Remodel

I didn't care much for the yellow wallpaper in the Sewing Room when I bought it. I didn't like it at all when I put it in the Sewing Room. Every day since then I've disliked it more. A few days ago I bought different paper for that room. It looks so much better. I've also realized that I don't like the multipaned window in there so I'm now staining a different window to use. Pictures will follow when the remodel is completed.

Duplex Room Box




I've finished constructing my first room box. It is made from a 'duplex' kit featuring a nursery with a connecting door to the sewing room.

Me & Ice Cream


Altered piece made for me by Lyn K. Looks like I've loved ice cream since I was a little girl. I'm still a great believer that ice cream is the perfect food for any mood and any occasion.

Cabinet of Dirty Little Secrets




This is a miniature cabinet which I modified for a swap. My partner ADORES Grissom so I put a gold framed picture of him in the back of the cabinet. There is a folding bed in the cabinet, complete with mattress and pillow. I made a red satin sham for the pillow and a gorgeous red satin duvet for the bed.
