I was trying to see if I could blend an older period style of furniture in a modern setting...and it didn't turn out well. Ha ha! Oh well. I'll try again later.
I thnk it can work, maybe if you spraypaint the wood of the Victorian furniture and recover the upholostry with something a little funky/ baroque? It could be kind of Anthropolgie.
Hmm...I think if I spray paint it, I will go with a white distressed finish and reupholster with Union Jack fabric. Now, if I can only get around to it--ha ha
Where did you get the settee? Your attempt is actually good--but I would venture a guess that you did not spend much time. I remember you saying that you don't plan, but just put furniture in, right? For not planning, this set-up still has an appeal. Hoping that you try again and do not become bored. I hate when you get bored and don't finish. Smiles.
I love the idea of painting the wood. What if you painted it high gloss red and left the black upholstery? I'm all for the easy and quick way. You could even use fingernail polish.
Whatever! I think it looks cool. Family should be more hard rock/edgy though. This one gives me ideas for my mini house.
ReplyDeleteThanks RocksAnne,
ReplyDeleteAt least the kitchen is done, but I'm going to redo the dining area---probably go in a different direction.
Please share your inspired miniature room when it's completed.

ReplyDeleteOh yeah--Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters.

I'll have to revisit that idea certainly.

ReplyDeleteStill cooler than any Victorian shit. Admire your work regardless.
ReplyDeleteI got the settee from miniatures.com.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kevin you crack me up. Thanks for being very generous with the compliments everyone-ha ha!

ReplyDeleteJust found this blog and all I can say is wow! Where do you find the furniture?
ReplyDeleteHi Daffy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I find the furniture on ebay mostly. And I shop at the sites listed in the resources frame for some things too.
