I made the counter from (foamcore and silver spray paint

 and topped it with shiny ribbed duckt tape) 

and  the hamburger and hotdog rolls under the pastry box,

 the egg and sausage on the grill,

the butter and toast in the toaster and the sundae.

 My friends helped me add the diner by buying me things for my birthday

like the pie slices in the pastry display case and the Milkshake clock above the booths. 

I also purchased a lot of things from a friend who had

a sale on her diner minis on Facebook 

behind  the counter

food ready to eat.. come and get it!

I made the bench a long time ago the coke machine I got a Walmart a few years ago
The gentleman are waiting for the city bus.

My new project 50's Diner

Diner backside and the counter I made!

I forgot to add this picture of the outside

done in scrapbook paper.

I made the counter for the back wall

 

The counter :

foam core, matt board cupboards spray painted in silver high gloss paint,

 wood dowels for door handles and a nice large 8X8 piece of Duck tape

 I found at Joann's for the top.

You can't see the bottom but I covered it with a silver metal tape under the toe area too.

A few of the items show I got from a diner sale on Facebook!

I really got a lot of stuff that all won't fit in but I'll do my best  !

My Diner Project!

Getting started!!

I have lots of great stuff to put inside!! 

great non working ceiling lights

these were 50% off at JoAnn's

just last week! I saw ceiling lights!!

From trashy to Shabby!!

This room box was very trashy when I got it! 

 Ripped up wallpaper and lots of glue

 under it.. took a lot of scrubbing then....

from this

to this.....

 

TO THIS!!!!!!  

 

My Shabby Chic Bathroom!  

Left side:

I filled the shelf with goodies I made except the green set

 I got that in a swap I made the trash can from a spray bottle top.

 I made the window from popsicle sticks.

The floor is scrapbook paper the wallpaper is from a friend

 I think is real wallpaper.

 

Right side:

repainted some scrapbook sticker alphas and framed

 them on scrapbook paper and edged with gold paint

I made the towels, rug, gift bag.

The tub from the Dollar tree was plain gold tannish color,

 I repainted it and  added gold feet.

The bottle filled with tiny beads is from Dollar Tree also.

The pretty little basket made by a friend in a swap by Dee Gadway

Slippers from a swap 

View from top
there is no wooden pink braid trim on the
top I forgot to take it off!!
 

made from wine wire cage

 my friend Cheryl Lee gave me the jar. I filled

 it with my tiny seashells.  

 

I made the shelf, bottles and wreath.

 I had a real tiny star fish

Close up

sneak peek -Shabby bathroom

When I got this box and it was trashy,

 with messy torn off wallpaper

 and lots of glue under it

but after a good scrubbing

I transform it to this!

now wait until you see what I will do with it!!

Tea for Two!!!

My newest project completed.
I did NOT make this one but I saw this tea room online and it inspired me to want to make something similar to it and had to try and make one myself,
so here are my results below... first started with an idea, how I should make it, then completed with some changes. I didn't use the scalloped edges, at all.

                                        Ideas: what to use

lamp I chose

repainted it and used a different scrapbook

 wallpaper paper.

Right wall

I got the "Friends" sign from a magazine.

I made the wreath

made a print of the music

 to the song "Tea for Two"

and put it on the back.

Left wall

 Bird and tea cups.

(I need to glue the edges more)

 

Final setting of the table

 

 

found a sign online (Pinterest I think)

for the center back...

did a little photo shop added words

 and framed color edges.

 

 

TADA!!:)

 

 

 

Completed!!

I am very pleased with the results!

I covered the outside it with fabric that I forgot I had

and I used ribbon to cover rough edges.

I am not using the sign at the bottom.
