I found the mantle shelf at a yard sale in the raw.
We bought two 8x10 pine boards and trim at HD for the 'legs,' penciling a pattern and using liquid nails to fasten the trim to the boards.
I wanted to use these tins for the back but only had four of them. Sigh! - the were a perfect fit.
Instead, I used beadboard left over from another project. The garage is one of my CREATIVE PLACES.
I glued the wooden scrollwork on but couldn't forget my dream of the dainty roses found HERE.
So...I got my hammer, screwdriver and sander out and removed it - it wasn't easy! But I wanted it to look decades old so the dents didn't matter.
They come like this and are easy to glue and paint on.
Happiness! I kind of slapped the paint on as I wanted it to look like it was painted many times.
Completed!
How was it I didn't notice the pillows weren't centered? Oh well, minor detail! :) The bedspread came from Target but the fabric flowers were added - if interested how it was done, you can read about it HERE.
Now on to the next project - it will involve wallpaper.
