White Redos

Here are two new projects for my bedroom.  I decided to change some of the decor after falling in love with some white suitcases I am forever talking about.  I needed a lot more white in the room so this is what I did.

Below is a cheap dollar store canvas I have had for a few years.  Ugly.  First I tried white washing over the topiary but that didn't really work.......

And here is the old picture frame I had bought at a garage sale.  My hubby added the chicken wire.

With a coat or two of matte creamy white spray paint it looks so sweet.  I used small clothes pins to hold on post cards.

Below is the topiary picture, turned on it's side.  I modge podged vintage book pages on the front and then did a cool transfer technique from Graphics Fairy.  The pocket watch is also from Karen.  Only one problem.  I forgot to reverse the image, as my hubby pointed out with a grin, so all the numbers were mirror image.  Bummer.

In an attempt to hide my mistake, I scrubbed a bit harder on the numbers til they disappeared......Yeah, it worked.  Now it just looks a little more faded in those areas.

I really like the look of both pieces and have a few more projects in mind before the bedroom will be done.  Diana
