Into the Fairytale

It all started with these three closet doors. The doors, all big and white dominated the room, so, the designer decided to use them as a focal point. First I added the medallions above the door frames. Then, I added wall icing for the the metal out line that creates the harlequin pattern.

After I painted, glazed and clear coated the doors, I added the plates behind the door pulls. I made the plates in order to hide the hole made for the original doorknob.

I painted the ceiling medallion which compliments the chandelier.

The walls needed a little something, so I tea stained the walls and ceiling.

Finally, I painted checks and flowers on the radiator cover, tieing it in with the tile furniture.

Liberty’s Dollhouse

It is a disturbing fact that females have been the most victimized and repressed group of humans throughout all of history.

Training girls that their role in life is to land a husband and have kids is severely limiting for her. I thought, what would her doll house be like if it could prepare her for autonomy.

It seems to me a good idea to train girls to be  autonomous and to be an active participant in the world.

Pantry door

This pantry door needed a bit of an updo, so, first I added the medallion. Then, I textured the door to give it a rough metal look, even though it feels nice to the touch.

This closeup shows the antique metal texture I added in order to lose the wood graining that the door came with. The texture helps the finish look and feel convincing.
