Wall of wonder - finished


You may have seen some pictures of my wall in the  past - it has been building up for a couple of years now, well over this weekend I finally finished it - the tissue paper fringe bunting from my party finished it off perfectly I think!

 

Here are a few close ups of it. It is a combination of photos, makes, a few art purchases and postcards. I have really enjoyed doing it and I am really pleased with the final outcome. I have recently moved the craft room around and so now I face a different wall - so there is only one thing to do - start again! I already have a few pieces on it - I will try and take a few pictures for you.


You have probably seen a few gnomes on my blog - well this is the most recent member to join the crew. He is my first drawn gnome (well except patterns but they don't count!) i really love how he came out, he also made me realise how much I enjoy drawing and colouring, even if it is only simple things!


Finally I wanted to show you this plate I got on the weekend (well I actually got 2 - I was at the till with the first one and thought what would happen if I broke it, so I went and picked up a back up plate, just in case!) It is from John Lewis and I love the pattern - it is only a little side plate (I didn't see any big plates) they also had a tea pot and cake stand.

Button chair



We have been redecorating the house and it was the spare rooms turn for a lick of paint. Above you can see the retro end of the room done - a new red wall and repurposed shelving. We managed to fit the spare sofa in there as well, perfect for playing all the retro games!


This is my new craft corner - with added ikea storage!
I love my corner! 


Today I finished it all off by upcycling the tired chair. It was a bog standard ikea chair and had been covered in paint and had other scuffs on it from general wear and tear.
A quick white wash and the chair was back to looking good.



I am sure you can guess what I added to the chair to make it a bit more bright and cheery from the title of the post - BUTTON




Just a few photos for you! I love the way it turned out and now fancy making a seat pad for it - maybe crocheted but I am not sure - any ideas?

Apparently there are a few other button chairs out there so I am not the only ridiculous one, always good to know!
