instant age...

Here's one of my bedroom projects

I've always loved Harrison Fisher's romantic artwork.

This  series is one of my all-time faves...

 a vintage copy for sale on ebay

I love the story.

I love the romance.

 I  love the purpose.

A few years back I put together one of my own.

1. I found a complete set of vintage postcards on ebay.

2. I. found a new frame at TJ Maxx with a 6-opening mat.

3. I added the little corners to the frame to add more detail.

4. I painted the frame and mats in my shabby white color.

I've had it this way for a few years 

but with my new room it was too white 

and not vintage-y enough

so....

out came the coffee and stain again

I glazed the frame 

and 

sprayed the mat with coffee 

so it would look like water-stains.

Here is the finished project...

this corner of the room

is almost finished...

Last time I posted about using stain and coffee...

I had you all fooled into thinking I  was *so brave*.

not brave

impulsive, maybe.

Seriously, though...

I know 

that 

I can fix it

 if I don't like it.

Paint and Oxy-clean 

are my friends...
