inspired by this post by decor8 

I have tried a little DIY with simple candles and a spray paint,

remember to keep the distance while holding candle to avoid drips,

I think this will work in any colour

invent it yourself

or make it look different... I have been just browsing through my photos and was pleased noticing that I got much better with  not throwing things away but finding different use for them.

Of course this is all DIY these days,but  the main thing is that creating something makes you feel a bit like inventor...

 

old gym t-shirt, already marked with finger paint + fabric markers and horror vacui - just draw like crazy your kid gonna love it :)

if you do not want to have old round pine table top any more, you can always turn it into - round wardrobe with blackboard paint finish- surprising shape but so practical in use

shame to burn all timber off cuts, but so easy to turn them into playful blocks, just some acrylic paint, permanent markers, stickers etc. no limits

doll house bookshelf

vintage clown party outfit- pom poms from my scarf, old flat cap, old GAP top, measuring tape for bow tie, two old rubber belts to make braces ..and a lip stick for red nose

taped picture frame made of japanese masking tape

Samuel 's old wooden toy - set of 10 nested blocks looks fantastic as a room accessory, toys always make lovely home accessories

MDF triangle off cuts painted in blackboard paint - put around the house, now we use for leaving messages to each other or writing shopping lists

home transformation

we are right in the middle of refurbishment , 

which now got to the state when "almost" everything is ready and waiting for final decoration

our home reveals scruffy textures, pealing paint, bare floor boards and accidental holes

all of this is worth documenting as we finally have the feeling that its coming together

*********

layers of different paint finish accumulated through decades by different owners

should we keep it?

this is my favourite fireplace in the house
(especially for Little Paper Crane )

textures and light

PS. Well done Tony for all your hard work. I love you.

perfect combination of natural stone with bright colours
