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.

 in the hutch from the same site



 

This is the begining of my Little Red Kitchen that has been in the
''Works'' for 3 years maybe 4 now!
Yes I am slooow but I wanted to see how this stool
made from mat board, cardstock & poster board with a little
 crochet thread and fabric would look in here.
I love it!!

Trying out a flower tut- Daffodils

H-m-m-m not bad, very fiddly but nice!!

Tut for the flowers! click here

 

A garden chair / stash from show!

Something for the outside of the "Rose of Sharon" flower shop.

I want to do some landscaping and

I saw a chair like this at a Dollhouse show in Lancaster PA.

 but it costs so much so I thought I should try to make one like it.

I first had blue flowers but changed it to soften it up.

here's the before pic.

I felt the leaves were too dark and the flowers a bit large.

What do you think?

 

what I bought at the show some great buys

 

 

my really good buys!

 

 

This is what I got on the way home from the

Country Cupboard restaurant/ Gift shop.

 My hubby got me theses for Mother's day.

I had to have these I only wish I could buy it all!

The place was fantastic all kinds of fairy gardens all set up

really cute here's some pics of it. I took many but you get the idea!

 

 

 

My Reutter Porcelain Clock display

Before- empty clock

 

 

After- Filled with some my Reutter Porcelain!

My friend got this for me!!! I am thrilled!!

I still need to add something more to the lonely cup on right at 2:00!

It has very limited space.

I see a small glare over the wine glass too.

It took me awhile to get a good shot of this.

(click the pics to see it up close )

 

 

So here's what was going in the store front !

THE ROSE OF SHARON

My flower shop Welcome to: ROSE OF SHARON!

My dear friend Cheryl Lee helped to arrange my flowers, I made lots but  only used a few and now.
 I have to do the outside landscaping with the help of my dear friend Yvonne Lord and she arranged the red roses on the top shelf in the green vase for me and Cheryl Lee gave my the cute lilies on the bottom shelf in the jar!
 I am so loving this. I made the flower basket on the left top shelf and the lower plant on the bottom shelf to the far right in the silver bead pot and the tulips on the floor under the front shelf in the window and I made the paper pitchers too. The little girl found some cute daises for her mom. (her mom works there) I need to add a welcome sign as well! Your are welcome to come in and shop.
Sorry no winners for those who tried to guess what was going in the shop box!!
