<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">While decorating with acrylic
paints, the items frequently soak up water, thus changing their volume a little
bit. Hence, I have felt the resistance while pulling drawers out. In such a
case, you should polish the edges.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">An extraordinary final effect was
achieved thanks to the exchange of the round handles of drawers for the
handmade twisted roses. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have to admit that this year the summer held up which positively influenced my mood as well as further willingness to create.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Currently I'm getting back to the normal after three weeks of holiday. Who would have thought that I have spend the entire time without the computer, or rather without the Internet. I looked into the website from time to time beceause of my curiosity and I admit that there was so much to keep up with those days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> While I was away I received a lot of messages from people from all over the world with some nice comments and questions about <u><b>decoupage. </b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Therefore, I have a lot to do. I tried to prepare for this swimming, strolling about the forest as well as practising some extreme sports after which, I have to admit, I'm a little bit aching.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">During my holidays I had the opportunity to try Japanese cuisine, climbing and watching motorcycle racing. </span><br />

are out of the question. You should also know that after finishing the process

the final effect. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm very thankful today to Jessica from <a href="http://www.4interiordesign.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">4interiordesign</span></a> for sharing her guest post on vintage home decor ideas. She is a blogger too and home decor has always been her passion.</div>

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">VINTAGE STYLE</span> </b> is timeless, lending an air of elegance and grace to any room or home, and you do not have to break the bank purchasing expensive antiques nor must you be forced to buy reproduction vintage furniture and decor - contemporary products made to look old and sturdy, usually at very high prices!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best way to put together an <span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>authentic vintage look room</u></span> is the sometimes time consuming, but often more economical and budget friendly way. Trawl through auction houses, car boots sales, slowly but surely accumulating treasures to clean up, repaint or even remodel. Snapping these items as they come available, for throw-away prices, then tucking them away safely until you have the time to spend on them can save you an absolute fortune in the long run. The downside is that each room can take quite a long time, but you can be sure that you will end up with a <u>unique and individual look of your very own.</u></div>

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">FURNITURE</span> </b>can be <u>stripped down, </u>then <u>re-varnished</u> to <u>smooth perfection</u> or left plain for rustic appeal. Soft furnishings can be shortened or lengthened as required, and can even be made over into small items – choosing a luxurious vintage fabric gives the finished item a genuinely old school glamour. <br />

You do not have to buy genuine vintage items if you cannot find something close to what you want. Learn a new skill and make your very own, custom designed piece of furniture, set of cushions or curtains – whatever it is that you need to finish off a room to your satisfaction. For true vintage appeal use materials appropriate to the period you admire, using wood from ugly pieces of furniture or fabric from the improbably long curtains! For exotic bed covers and curtains you can check <a href="http://www.yorkshirelinen.com/" target="_blank">www.yorkshirelinen.com</a>.They are my favourite because they produce finest quality and are the original makers without any export or outsourcing.<br />
<br />
It is possible to create a vintage air, even with a full complement of contemporary furniture! Carefully chosen pieces of art, whether they are paintings, photographs or sculptures, can infuse a room with a delightfully old-fashioned look.<br />
Another quick and easy idea is to replace fixings with old-style ones to enhance the vintage theme in a room. Quite often genuinely old cabinets and wardrobes can be in quite poor condition, but their latches, fastening and even <u>door knobs</u> and <u>handles </u>will be in much better shape. Carefully removing these in order to attach them to modern furniture can add just a touch of old-school glamour without forcing you to spend a fortune on all new furniture.<br />

A <u>bedroom</u> is relatively easy to make over with vintage elegance. A four-poster bed, preferably wooden, with a wooden chest at the foot; the latter filled with a choice selection of beautiful satiny bedding, such as that available at yorkshirelinen.com, can create a fabulous air of sensuous comfort and old-fashioned welcome that can be hard to find in a modern, polished yet clinical bedroom. For reviewing beds its all up here, <a href="http://www.dreams.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.dreams.co.uk/</a><br />
Try your hand at a number of the old arts and crafts – those practised by all people, not for fun or to pass the time, but for reasons of necessity. Lace-making is a dying art, as is crochet and knitting – yet all of these can be incorporated into a beautiful home, enhancing it and stamping it with your unique and distinctive style.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another quick and easy way to add a touch of vintage practicality into your home is to <u>install vintage storage in your home </u>– mason jars, wicker boxes and hampers and even fabric covered cardboard boxes create a useful place for odds and ends, while adding a jaunty and authentically vintage theme </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
to the home. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Fresh cut flowers are very
often at my home therefore I will present you some trusted hints concerning
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>extending life of some flowers </i></span></b>which were in majority told me by my mother. The
advice will be divided into a few phases, in which I will tell you about
<u>different varieties of flowers</u> as well as some <u>techniques of extending their
lifespan</u>. I will also try to attach some photos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">You don’t have any influence
on the process of cutting the flowers or on their previous keeping but you can
obviously influence their further life. There are some factors which are
important: </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #351c75;"><u><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">first of all a proper temperature or a place where the vase stays,
fresh water or a good access of air.
</span></u></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My most favourite flower, despite
its bizarre nature, is a <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: orange;"><i><b>daffodil</b></i></span></span></span> or <i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">narcissus</span></b></span></span></i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">They are bulbous flowers of
which more than one story can be told. Daffodils secrete a viscous and
poisonous substance with an unpleasant scent. In combination with tulips or
irises they can harmfully influence their lifespan and cause their drooping
because of alkaloids which were previously mentioned.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> If we want to combine <span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>daffodils</i></b></span></span> with other flowers, the best idea would be to:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">In case of
daffodils alone, we should:</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">

nearby gallery, for a long time now, but I lost the feeling in my finger after
sculpting in a piece of oak wood which was as hard as a rock. Therefore, I
decided to take a break and focus on something different - unique decor and
home decorations. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The
hanger I made for the hallway wall or bathroom is not only designed for hanging
hats or cotton towels on, but it also comprises an important home decor
accessory. I think it can be also treated as a painting made in Victorian
style. The whole work was demanding. I made the hanger with the use of a number
of decorative techniques: decoupage, crackling, pittorico shading, high reliefs
as well as gilding. </span></span></div>

Hello, </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my new project I decided to use literally what I have within my arm's reach. I imagined an interesting result that I think I can achieve. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An inspiration for this project were white embossing wall papers and Japanese plaster, that I haven't heard of until recently. But as Stanislaw Lec once said "Be self-learners, do not wait until the life teaches you a lesson".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting back to the subject. Embossing wall papers are characterised by specific elegance, interesting three -dimensional effect, or convexity. And the method of performance of Japanese plasters gave me the main idea for creation of my flower pot. At the very end of my tutorial, I made also two different pots, in slightly different colours, in which the main components were the straw and cut leaves.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A few years ago I would never think that paper will play such an important role in my life. It sound trivial, or even comic, but that's the truth. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The initial idea to create consisted in compacting and boiling the fibres of various plants, and once they dried, it was ready to use. The biggest difference between the current paper and the papirus of that time lies in the production process. Currently, paper is created in result of chemical and mechanical wood processing, and the quality of paper depends on raw materials chosen for its creation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I think that the history of paper creation and the process of its improvement is very fascinating. </span></div>

The very idea for this clock was not planned out in advanced. I like <a href="http://selenartedecoupage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/country-roses-photo-frame-upcoming.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>napkin designs</b></span></span></a> which are not very close together, so they can be separated, cut out with precision and fit at my discretion in the work.</div>

By being there it has lightened and filled the whole room with it's warmth. In this work other than <a href="http://selenartedecoupage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/patchwork-photo-frame-decoupage-on-wood.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>napkin technique</b></span></span></a> I also utilised pittorico shading and crackled finish with crackle medium.</div>

When working with the napkin technique we can cut out or tear out motifs or glue down entire napkins using glue or glue and an iron. Always remember to throw out the two bottom napkin layers. The glue cannot be too thick or too watered down. During the gluing process it is best to wait a moment until the glue has a chance to set a tiny bit and than proceed to gently lay down the napkin from the middle - outward.</div>

I'd like to say that I have almost stopped making decorations due to my illness which has touched me. I have been completely derailed from my rhythm of computer, work, home, handicrafts, computer. Yet I have pulled myself together to realize that aside from worries and thoughts of finding ways to heal my constant dizziness there is something which gives me relief and joy. Designing.<br />
<br />
I become the owner of some oak planks and decided to make several clocks. Each of the pieces even in their raw state has charm and I longed to look into their soul. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These now belong to my small collection of large, wood, country style clocks.<br />
Each of the clocks was made in a similar style ie. it has been engraved, using a 3D technique and special paste as well as being painted.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The first clock is very readable and I think it is my favourite. It has engraved roman numerals, which I've made more visible by painting. Because I have been collecting miniature paintbrushes for a long time, they have finally found their use in this project.<br />

While waiting for spring I decided dress things up and besides finishing the remaining clocks, I photographed my work of art from last year. Next week I will showcase the clock with a fruit motif and pittorico shading and I wonder what do you think?</div>

new passion in my life. Browsing in one of the furniture stores I came
to the conclusion that none of the objects on display was worthy of my
attention. Simple shapes, narrow selection of colour and plastic
imitating wood. Maybe it comes from constantly searching for something
which is not made by the dozen. Apparently I am the type of person who
is constantly seeking change and cannot seem to sit still.<br />
<br />
Several weeks ago I was inspired by a <u>course</u> in <u>finishing furniture</u>, and
because I still had four weeks of holiday in my pocket, I bought a
ticket and went without hesitation. I traded walks on the beach for
workshops with paints and brushes.<br />
During this accelerated course I learnt several techniques of finishing:<br />

Multicolour rubbing, the last technique I have learnt. This tray I have also decorated with a blue poppy rice paper.<br />

By now I wish everybody a Wonderful and Happy New Year. May all your dreams come true.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I have played with pieces of great quality classic and very thin, almoust transparent and traditional decoupage paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For those who never did anthing like that I can say that <span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>paper</u></span> plays a crucial role in decoupage. It is very best to use specially design for this technique in order to obtain good results. Motives on such paper tend to be very well sepatered from each other to be able to cut them easy. Most of the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><u>classic papers</u></span> are made from high-strength material that easily stick to various surfaces such as wood, metal or even glass.</span></div>

Today I will show you my old Victorian style chairs, which undergo a
tranformation from Ugly Duckling to the Princess and the Pea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked the chairs until I painted them again with a dark paint,
probably a teak color, which started to dissolve the finish and even now
I can take the paint off with my fingernails. </div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the first chair before I began.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second stage will be purchasing matching fabric and upholstering the
chair, as well as painting, finding the right trimmings, and here I have to say
that this is my next goal for the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm finding myself a bit short on time for these chairs, especially
before the holidays, and since each one requires sanding with sand paper
outdoors on account of the dust - and who wants to sit outside for
several hours in the cold, at this time of the year?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can follow my projects in the next few entries and hopefully, this will be one I will finish before the end of this year. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">First of all I would like to thank everyone who took part in my giveaway. |The <a href="http://www.selenartedecoupage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/good-morning-is-happy-morning-giveaway.html" target="_blank"><b>clock</b></a> has already gone to Sadie.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Back to the begining of my <i style="color: #cc0000;"><b><a href="http://www.selenartedecoupage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/country-roses-photo-frame-upcoming.html" target="_blank">decoupage</a></b></i>. How much I like to devise something like that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Long time ago I was glowing by new, modern and cheap items and what was most important, shiny. But since I got into my passion and work I began to look at the world through the mirror. I have made a phenomenal discovery of what is the handicraft. Therefore my outlook of the surrounding objects also gained another blunt. As far as I can remember one of my lamps was in a pitful condition. Probably I had a few removals and therefore the lampshade had bent and gone completely gray and unattractive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My craft project's go was to decorate the lampshade using pieces from the old newspapers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The scraps were simply glued with PVA but before I had spent so much
time preparing all the necessary materials. I was collecting all sort of
newspapers where I could find old pictures of people and old fashioned
font. I have ripped small pieces of my favourite images and made it looks
older with the flame method. I didn't actually put the paper into the
flame. The idea was to use the heat from the flame to burn the paper
slowly not to burn it completely.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Don't you think <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/01855751574611737740" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">Karen</a><span style="color: #4c1130;"> </span></b>is a very talented, creative and generous woman? Yes, it is Karen from <b><a href="http://www.mydesertcottage.com/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">My Desert Cottage</a><span style="color: purple;">.</span></b> A beautiful blog about hobby, craft and friendship. This was my first impression when I visited her space long time ago. She helped me to realised my dreams and worked out other more complicated things in my head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So, I have decided to treat myself very well this year and got a new blog design. It is hard to describe it just in one word but all what I feel is romanticism and the desire to create.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Along with the blog design I have made a <a href="http://www.selenartedecoupage.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/wooden-clock-something-different-than_20.html" target="_blank">large wall clock</a> with sympathy to the two pots of roses bought for me by my friend.</span></div>

admire, someone who influences us or just gives us a kick to live. For me -
decoupage is my kick. It stimulates my mind and awakens my imagination. I like
relaxing with a paint brush in my hands and afterwards a glass of wine. </span></span><br />

I have decided to try new technique. I took me a while to be ready for it, but
once I was, I didn't even have to practise how to learn it - I just sat down
and did it.</span></span><br />

This is my first clock using a marble effect and hopefully you like it. </span></span><br />
