White paint and burlap

My apron is home now from Apronology. have you picked up this fabulous issue yet?? I used a piece of a crinoline from my blue one. It is so full you can't even tell I cut a piece out to use for this .When I was done I just sewed it back together! I added a pretty rose and ribbons from an old prize ribbon.

One of my new fetishes is old clocks, pretty ones like this one .It even still works ,found at a thrift store for 75 cents! Total score !And after putting some of my dolls in the shop here I am buying more. Meet my new little Nancy Ann doll who keeps me company while doing dishes, here she is sitting in my window ledge above the sink.

I was so happy to finally find a lamp to go with this gorgeous vintage lampshade, it is silver in color and works too.I just love the contrast. And the chair , picture this chair all brown.
I wish I would have taken before pics.

And the seat was the same wicker stuff that backs the chair and had a slight tea in the seat, found for 2.50 at the thrift store on a half off sale. I painted it white and added two layers of burlap to the seat and tacked it with furniture tacks . I love the way it turned out, junk to some but to me I seen what it could be ,even with the tear in the seat, it is plenty sturdy to sit in.I can't paint at all, all my paint jobs turn out so crappy ....but here it is!
