This morning I worked on laundry and refinishing a section of the pine flooring in the kitchen. Glad to be done with that job, I took some time out to finish the wooden pedestals I started here.The painting and decoupage was done earlier, so today I just did some distressing, gave the bases a couple coats of wax, and glued on the pom pom fringe.
I really did not stray from the original design shown in the book. I used images from some old music books for the background, and added some flower images on top of that.
These were really a fun project, so I'm going to keep an eye out for more salvaged finials!Thanks for all the well-wishes. My kind husband waited on me over the weekend so I could rest, and I'm feeling a lot better.
I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteI also love your old tablecloth,I collect them too.
Wow, you have a lot of energy! The floor project alone would have wiped me out for the day. Love the result of your pdestals.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I love Anna Corba's work too - very inspiring.

Deb, I love these! I'm not sure how I found your blog; I know I bookmarked your blog right away. I'm been poking around in your archives -- clearly, I'm going to have to do some more! Your things are lovely!:o)
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog -- I added it to my favorites several weeks ago and have browsed your archives. Your crafts are beautiful and are the style that I love -- so I may need to borrow an idea or 2. Also, you apparently have better thrift stores in your area than I do - or - I just don't look enough. Either way I am jealous of all your thrifty goodness.
So glad to hear that you're feeling better Deb.
ReplyDeleteWow, these turned out wonderful!
I want to go thrifting with you!
Aren't they great? Glad your feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful project--they are just gorgeous! I really need to get Anna Corba's book.
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great!
ReplyDeleteI love the tablecloth too; fabulous colors! :)
These are so cute. I love them. Also really like your pretty table cloth.
ReplyDeleteThe pedestals are great!!
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! My face is red, I don't even know who Anna Corba is. But after seeing your beautiful project I'll certainly look her up.
ReplyDeleteDeb, they look great. I especially like the pompoms. Don't they make everything look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of pink, red and robin's egg blue is a cottage combo I simply love! It's a perfect spin-off for Valentine's Day. Thanks for the inspiration!
