Decorating Dilemma:

I did this about 4 years ago, when I was changing my
living room from wallpaper to teddies and quilts.


By the time I got it painted,
I decided I did not want that kind of "country" look.
I just hate to paint over it, but....??
Guess that is probably my only choice.
It is my entry and the door opens in front of it.
No room for a piece of furniture.
I do have a friend who hopes I'll cut the wall out so she can have it.
I don't think so.
Any bright ideas???


And while you are in a thinking mood,
anyone know what this paper is for?
It is vintage, and comes in about 5" wide strips.
Maybe 3' in package.
Of course I got it at a sale,
and the guy, when I asked what it was for,
said, " you can use it for anything you want. "
Duh!!
Hope someone knows what it is "supposed" to be for.
I'm curious.

Baby shoe pin cushion revised.
Like it much better with a softer pink ribbon.

Project Friday

I'm not finding any project Friday posts or links
at Sugar Plum Cottage.
Maybe she is on vacation and i forgot.
so here is mine anyway!! =0))

Remember some time ago I challenged myself to start getting some of these projects done that i had put off way too long??

Well, here is another off the list.

This is the empty box I gave to my 14 year
old Granddaughter for Christmas!

I told her i would paint whatever she wanted on it,
and she chose roses
and gave me a list of colors.

Well, about 3 hours ago at the very last minute i finished painting it.



Here is the finished product.
I is a jewelry box for her.
Lid opens at the top,
and it has a little drawer in front.
(check out the great hardware too!)

I used 3 colors off her list of 8 colors,
and painted some roses for her.

end of box, and other end just has a little rose and buds.
And here it is finished!!!
YAY! Another project off my list.

Next week's Project Friday Challenge:

Remember these?
(All the little lamp shades I've been picking up?)

and these?
( all the candle holders I've found?)

Next week I'll show you this finished project,
and give some tips for doing them.
