It’s
Spring Time…
And well… that means it’s Mantel Time!
This one is a little different than my normal displays…
I kept it simple and “flow-y”… light and bright!
I created a window by using an old canvas art frame… along with foam core to create fake windowpanes.
(I didn’t have a gigantic old window… so I improvised)
In other words… got creative!!
Once upon a time…
I made my own decorative display dress form (from scratch)… tutorial here.
I made it out of paper mache.
It was a long and tedious project… but of course…
fun and adventurous at the same time!
This time…
I used The Polka Dot Closet’s way… (thank you Carol!!)
I bought one from Barr Display…
So much easier…lol!
I love Carol’s work and have been so inspired by her dress forms!
Ok… gorgeous right?
I’ve been wanting to make my own for awhile now…
And so… I finally made one…
Here she is!
Not too “shabby”… eh?
I really love the way she turned out!
I used a hollow back form from Barr Display.
The base is #8020 and the form is #8020W if ordering…
they are two separate items.
Thanks to Carol (The Polka Dot Closet) for the inspiration and all the info on her blog…
and thanks to Barr Display for an easy shopping experience!
A few months ago Marian from Miss Mustard Seed asked if she could use a photo from my quirky Tractor Steering Wheel Curtain Hangers post in an article she was writing for HGTV.com on window treatments.
((it’s the post where I couldn’t decide how to hang the curtains…
so I asked for your help… and gave a ton of options… remember??))
Anywho…
I love those emails!!
Of course… as I was reading it… I was all like…
What?? Are you serious? YES… YES!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! WooHoo!!
Happy Dance! Happy Dance!
And then just the other day… I saw where it was showing up in my stats…
And wow… here it is…
So thrilled and honored to be included with some amazing, creative talent in this article on window treatments!
