The small framed artwork is a copper etching lithograph I found in an antique shop. It's titled "Mobile Home II," and I instantly fell in love with its charm. It's so whimsical and lovely! This is how it looked like when I brought it home.
Even though I liked the artwork very much, I didn't care for the faux finish of the frame. So, I grabbed my trusty Rub N Buff antique gold and did a quick update on the finish.
I just used my finger and spread the Rub N Buff all over the frame. It was easy and the entire process took about five minutes. When it was done, I allowed the paint to dry completely. Then I lightly polished it with a piece of paper towel to bring out some luster.
The finish is a little uneven as you can see in the photos, but that's exactly the effect what I was after.
Now the frame has a warm copper-like sheen, which I love.
A beautiful bouquet of blue hydrangeas complete the vignette.
Hope you had a wonderful start to the week.
You've made a lovely and cosy little corner there Yuko. I would love to sit there and read a book - and what a beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gam! I should use this corner as my own little reading nook :-)
DeleteThat table is gorgeous! Is it stone?
ReplyDeleteYes, the base of the table is some type of stone, which I don't remember what it was. It had a faux finish I didn't like when I got it vintage, so I painted with ASCP.
Deleteah ... so lovely and restful ... my favorite colors, a soft blue/green/gray with white trim. and open windows to let in the light, the air.
ReplyDeletesign me up for a visit, Yuko!
You can come visit me any time, Linda! The only catch is I might ask you to help me babysit the two little boys who live across the hallway ;)
DeleteWhat quaint little corner. I love the gingham pillow and artwork. Great job!
