Back to the room. I stenciled a semi-gloss black paint of the walls and it took me a total of six days, over the course of two weeks to complete. I then rolled glaze onto the walls, and ragged it off to define the texture in the walls and get an aged and dimensional look. This took me another three days to complete.
I'm felt like the project was taking me forever, and I really let the house go. However, Simultaneously, I coordinated a quilting project at my girls school, made some totally awesome valentines, planned & oversaw a valentines party for my 1st grader, and oversaw a boxtops collection at our elementary school. Sheesh, I getting tired just thinking back on everything. I have no idea how I got through it all.
Anyhoo, I'm on a hunt for new curtains, and then next year I'll be replacing our bedroom furniture. Can't wait for the entire room to be put together, but a lass, we can not always have everything just when we want it. Good things are worth waiting for though.
That looks awesome! What a ton of work! I think you should paint your furniture black. Easy peasy, and way cheaper than new stuff.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It is so gorgeous and the glaze and trim finish it off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Looks fabulous! You're so talented. I agree with Bec's comment to paint your furniture black. You can use latex Gripper as a base coat, and you don't even have to sand it very much before painting it on. That will stick, even though the wood is probably varnished, etc. Then you can paint on top of that with normal latex paint.
