MAKE-OVER PROGRESS

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, regarding painting my furniture white!
These pretty roses are for YOU!:-)
So far I`m very pleased with how is looking...
Although I have decided that other things in the room need to have a make-over too...
In order to everything to have a lovely overall feel.
So here are the things that I decided to give a make-over to...
Remember the ornate dark picture frame before?
(Which can be seen on my last post.)
Well out of luck I had another frame and decided to add it to the top of other...
There was a little gap to the sides of the frame when patient hubby screw them for me...
I panicked for a bit, but then realized that a bit of silicone would solve my problem.

That was problem number one.
Problem number two was that when I painted the frames somehow the frame on top,
the paint started to crack and flake. And kept turning blue too!
So I had to spend a bit of time sanding but managed to solve this problem
with 5 coats of white primer!
It was a pain to get rid of the blue paint... which I`m not sure why kept turning blue...
Since the vintage frame being gilded and not blue.
Anyway, its now sorted and I`m hoping to add a lovely vintage floral fabric to it!

I`m leaving you with other treasures... that are going to have the white treatment too!
This old frame and print I bought it for £3.00, at my local auction.
Where is now painted cream... before it used to have quite a lot of water marks...
So I decided to paint it and add some pretty decals too.
Although, now I`m going to paint the frame white.

Cherubs wall plaque...

The frames on these... are going to be painted white, too.

I`m not sure if this vintage round picture frame... should be painted!

I quite like it as it is!
So I might leave it for last... just in case I decide to change my mind.

The pretty red roses motif have been skillfully hand-painted!
Aren`t they beautiful?

I`m also painting these sconces!

I looked at them many times before...

And never really paid that much notice to how elaborate they are!

 Alan`s foot stool will be painted and upholstered in this pretty fabric.
Hubby always wanted one so he could rest his feet after an hard days work... while watching t.v!

And here is the progress so far!

And while mummy was busy painting the furniture in the living room...
This is the surprise that I found when I went to the play room!

Now I know why Pippin was so quiet!:-)
As he normally follows me E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.RE!
And if he isn`t with his mummy (me)... he will start crying!
 Anyway as a pay back... I couldn`t resist covered him with the toilet paper...
Although he was in no mood for wanting to have is photo taken, as he just got told off before that!
I`m telling you, having Pipping is like having a new baby all over again...
Not that I`m complaining!:-)

I`m hoping to finally show you my newly decorated room... in my next post!

TODAY I`M DREAMING OFF...
WELL, MY OLDER BROTHER HAS FINALLY MOVED IN WITH HIS SWEET GIRLFRIEND,
SO I`M HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE VERY HAPPY TOGETHER!
BUT SADLY HE NOW LIVES 4 HOURS AWAY FROM US!
