White linen pillows...

New crispy white linen pillows with our initials

hand painted on them! I´m still working on

my "new bedroom look" and this is what

came out of last days work. I must say

things have been running rather

slow around here, but

I do love when I get things done!!

A (new) lamp shade also got a make over

(These hand painted boxes, I did

some years ago, fit well in the room now

plus they are great for storing things,

like summer shoe's... ;)

I still have some things to do

before I'm finished, but I

am getting there ;)

keep on lighting the candles...

I bought this hanging candle holder just before

Christmas and I decorated it with pine branches

and red ribbon. We used it a lot so I just couldn't

take it down with everything else and put it in

the storage for next time!

instead I re-decorated it using

white feathers and paper flowers

here in Iceland,

there are still a few months until we will start

seeing longer days with spring flowers

so I will keep on lighting the candles

and looking forward to the spring!

thank you for stopping by...

pink & appropriate...

I think it is only appropriate for me to start

the new year with a little blog about a

DIY/pink project.

This time it´s the bedroom...

I felt the room needed to be more

feminine!! .....so what did I do?

I just added a little pink color to the room and

v o i l a !!!

I had bought this statue of Jesus some months ago,

It needed some work, and Jesus got a pink dress!

plus I made him this wooden pedestal

to stand on.

I painted this old console table white, and put up a mirror that I

had made long time ago and bought this nice pink glass

for candles.

Then my mother gave me these old jewelries, they

belonged to my beloved grandmother, I made

this tiny pink pillow for them to sit on.

I will guard them well.

Made new pillows for the bed, some pink ones,

(but still have two big ones to make ;)

This hanger I made, from old wood, simply got

painted white and then sanded to give

it that old, used look.

I think displaying jewelry's and pink summer dresses

is good for me, specially when it's so

dark and snowing outside!

And this old chair got some

white paint & pink cover!

Here you can see what Jesus looked like

when i got it from a flee marked

(I still have Marie to do).

It's made from porcelain, so I painted it with

several layers of gesso (old recipe), and then

it was sanded down again, just to make it

look more like clay or stone, and finally

I painted and sealed it.

p.s. must tell you that my husband did approve

on these pink changes in our bedroom,

and YES, it's definitely better ;)

Happy new year to you all and,
