This little Lulu…

This little LULU…

Traveled to Morocco with a gorgeous and talented group of Peacock Painter Ladies…and stayed at the ever so beautiful Peacock Pavilions.

and this little LULU helped Melanie Royals and the other Peacock Painters complete this masterpiece, one teeny tiny embroidered “ish” stencil at a time…

This little LULU also slept in the following sweetly stenciled Peacock Pavilions room.

Lastly, this little LULU fell in love… with the colors, patterns, people, and places that danced through Marrakesh by her side, in front of her, and above! Oh did they ever inspire her so…

but more on these joyous folks some other day…(Maryam and her tales…oh this and oh that…makes me gush just thinking about her)

Memorable walls

Yellow, Black, White, PINK

An unforgettable image from Lost in Translation. Visually descriptive, enough so that every time I see a photo of this place I get excited in anticipation to hopefully meet these walls someday. Reminds me of moments I’ve shared with a dear old pal of mine back in Ellsworth, Maine.

As a 90% visual person I can appreciate the loud silence against such a crisp backdrop far better than any dialogue that could have been embedded this scene.

A treasure indeed!

Stripes are done!

Steal this idea: Painted Console Table

lulu — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:27:07 +0000

In November I came across a fun little article about how to update various tables in one’s home or office. This came at a perfect time because I had just done a project on my very own little kitchen table.

I haven’t made my way to the legs of the table yet…but…I thought I would share this article with all of you for inspiration on how to jazz things up a bit on a console table!

Console Table Project

Kitchen Table with Cloth

LIVING ETC.

Here is the DIY instructions as copied from the article in Living Etc.

Turn an old dining table from staid to stunning with these DIY ideas

How to do it

Step 1) Paint a neutral base coat over the whole table.

Step 2) Once dry, mask out different-width stripes before filling them in with your chosen colour palette. Darker colours will need three or four coats.

Tip: to prevent colours from bleeding when the masking tape is removed, use a very fine brush to paint along the edges of the tape with the base colour.

Step 3) Make sure you paint part on the tape and part on the table for a neat seal. Carefully peel off the masking tape, then use a clear matt varnish to strengthen the finish.

Tip: why not use up old sample pots of paint for your stripes?

What you need

Stripes painted in Famille Rose, City Grey, Lagoon, Lichen, Black and Mushroom acrylic eggshell, Zoffany.

Here’s a photo of my table!

my little project!

steal this idea: Dress up wine

ready made wine bottle

I saw this idea in Ready Made Magazine over the Holidays… What a fun idea in general for dinner parties, gifts, or I guess just the heck of it. The article suggested you do this with Trader Joe’s 2 buck chuck… I suppose that’s crafty and all but I can’t really handle that stuff. I guess if its for the purpose of drinkable art, I could gladly make an exception!

Here are some other fresh painted bottles…

sweet!
