When our home was built in 2000, there were two bi-fold type doors left in the basement. They do not match. I have always wanted to find a use for them, and thought about trying to find a third one and making a screen. Recently I painted one of them with home made chalk paint (white). I didn't do anything else to it. I finally brought it upstairs and found a little nook for it.
I propped it behind a small table I had sitting in the corner of the dining room, added my recently made burlap wreath, and hung this tiny embroidered pillow on it.
I'm thinking I will distress it and use some ASCP dark wax on it.
Another free project!
I also changed the centerpiece on the dining room table. I recently bought this runner in its soft pastels. The cake plate is a purchase from several years ago. It echoes the blue and pink of the runner.
I kept the white candlesticks which were originally hunter green.
I chose not to put anything under the cloche except the plate, and let the rose be the center of attention.
Have you created any free projects recently?

Everything looks wonderful! That's a great idea for your doors. The vignette looks so pretty!

That's a great idea about the bifold door, and I kinda like the idea of using the cloche to highlight the pretty plate. The whole setting is very sweet.
ReplyDeleteGet working on that silver. I cannot believe what a great feeling it is to see shiny silver. I feel so rich with it around. The tarnished look could work for some situations, and people seem to be going with that style, but I love the contrast between having polished silver along with scrappy vintage stuff. It creates a nice ambiance. It's just a matter of spending the time. The more often you do it, the easier and quicker it is.

That was a great place to put the doors. They make a nice backdrop for that pretty vignette. I like the rose plate and the way it shows under the cloche. The pastel runner is very pretty too.--------- Shannon
ReplyDeletea sweet nook it is. I think distressing it will give it lovely charm. Nice job. visiting via SSS. Mica @ The Child's paper

The door adds interest to that corner..I love it and I love your wreath. Looks great..
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than free! Your corner vignette is really pretty with your door as the background. I really like the effect the dark wax gives to painted pieces,too. And that was a great idea to feature the rose on your plate under your cloche. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the door for the backdrop. Everything looks so pretty. Sometimes cloches should just be simple and yours looks perfect! Thank you for sharing at TTF last week. Have a fun day!
