In my earlier blog I was trying to get my Armoire organized, well I'm realizing it's taking up much more time then I realized, but I'm making progress.
After some thought I decided I wanted something tohold organize my perfume, so I took another box
Gotta admit that looks much better!
Although I seem to be working at a snail's pace, I'm happy everything is coming together.
What I'm working on now...
I have this old picture I've been holding onto for years. It use to hang on the office wall of a company I worked for. When the company closed, I was given permission to keep the picture. The frame was custom made and I always loved it!
This is the BEFORE
These are the pictures that inspired me
This is what I've done so far
Earlier you will remember I transformed 3 boxes from this...
...to this
After some thought I decided I wanted something to
Lined it with the same fabric I used for the earlier boxes...
...painted the exterior black and then wrapped and glued twill around it.
However I felt something was missing - I wanted it to "pop" a bit more. I remembered I had a plastered flower, that I learned to make from Villabarnes earlier, so I decided to glue it on top.
Gotta admit that looks much better!
Earlier in one of my blogs you may remember I made a Jewelry Organizer, unfortunately I don't use it for my pearls. I keep all of my pearls dumped inside a box, I generally wear the same strands repeatedly because it's too time consuming digging through all of them. Then I thought, "Why not display them so I could easily select one when ready to wear?" So while at Kelly's House & Home I saw these cute bronze cabinet knobs. I bought several, attached them inside my Armoire, at the back, and hung my pearls over them. (Sorry, the picture isn't too clear).

I also have this straw place-mat...
...and the globes from my chandelier that I had recently transformed...
I won't say what I'm going to do with them, because I'm not certain it's going to work, but let's hope by next week I'll have everything completed to showoff. So until next week, don't forget to LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW!
You've been busy! You're making great stuff, that's for sure!
ReplyDeletea little improvement is always better than no improvement! I say.

ReplyDeleteI love how you hung your pearls on those knobs! It looks really pretty. I can't wait to see what your new project is going to be- I can't even begin to guess what it is!
ReplyDeleteI love the pearl hangers, what a smart idea. I remember the amazing chandelier transformation and I'm glad you kept those lovely glass globes for something. So now, what will you do with them?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I thought Id been a follower of this blog for a while. I just checked, apparently I get it sent to my email, but I'm not an actual follower. So I fixed that!
New follower, lol!
Great progress, my friend! I'm excited to see how you incorporate the straw mat into the room!
ReplyDeleteThe armoire project seems to be coming along beautifully! Whatever you do will be lovely. I am the same way with jewelry. If it's not visible, I don't use it. Great idea hanging the pearls.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry! Wow... what a talented and creative lady you are! I love the ideas and projects you have done. I have perused several of your posts and loved reading each one :)

Your armoire is looking good! I have an armoire that is in MAJOR need of a makeover!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry! Well, sometimes doing things slowly is the best way. You have more time to looks and fiddle with things. I love to fiddle! :) Your shelves look wonderful and I do love what you've done with your baskets. You're truly the most creative one. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Awesome job on getting organized! I seem to work at a snails pace when it comes to that too, but always worth the effort in the end! I really like the jewelry organizing knobs. Very chic!
ReplyDeleteSherry I too often work at a snails pace... as you say, it is so very important to get it right, so sometimes time is needed. I think I need time to reflect/ or procrastinate ;-). Love what your doing with the pearls, looking forward to your final reveal!!!
