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!
