This weekend I pulled out some furniture I had and went to
town on dulling and darkening it. Originally you can see the bedroom furniture
was very red and shiny but I want it to look old. So after I pulled the fabric
off and the mattress I sanded pretty much the whole thing down and then gave it
a wash of dark layers. I also did the same with the night stand and dresser.
The fabric I think I may darken with a tea soaking since it
looks old already. I’ll try to take a closer picture to show you.
The lamp is one of those LED ones that you can swap out the battery
(watch battery). I bought the one you see, a Tiffany lamp and a few ceiling
ones that I thought would work well in the house and could be changed out since
this house is not electrified. The table in the other photo will go into the
kitchen and the other cabinet either the sitting room or one of the rooms on the
3rd floor.
That’s it for now, I have to go find a few kits I have evidently
safely tucked away somewhere in case gnomes invaded and decided they needed them
more than I.
Thanks for following my blog and hello to my new followers.
