Finished bench

It got late last night, but I finished the bench!
Did you notice the M before?


Inside I've put a pink lining in contrast with the turquoise colour beneath the white paint.


 It will get a place in my conservatory.

 Left, right, I'm not sure yet.

It took 4 layers of white to cover the turquoise, and when it was fully covered, I sanded it again, showing the turquoise and bare wood, to give it a used look. It still feels silly to 'damage' a neatly painted piece, but I do like the effect, giving a dolls house the feel like it's being lived in, a home, instead of a show piece.

Hope you had a nice weekend full miniatures to enjoy as well.

  3. No, I didn't see the "M" - how clever to use a filigree with the intial in it. It's a very pretty piece and perfect for the conservatory. I really like the use of the filigree in the back cut-out.

  8. I hadn't seen the M either, until I already had decided that I was going to use this piece for the bench, was so happy to see it (could have been any other letter, but it was 'my' M!)
