Working on the clock


I had to change my plans, I made the cabinet I liked so much, but it would not fit in the little space I have in my clock..... as you can see on the picture, it stil needs a shelf on it, so it was to high...
















Here is my new cabinet, it is actually a counter, but that does not matter to me, did a bit of changes, there is only one row of drawers and on the side is coming a little glass case for a lot of chocolates..... hmmm
I kept the colors soft on the walls and cabinet, so the beautiful pastries will be good to see.




It is not perfect, but good for me, with only a ruler and a stanley nife from cardboard. The brown top is veneer.

Of course you want to sit when enjoying tea and sweets.





This was a ordinary gardens, from iron in green...                          The table top was iron too, I did not like that, so that had to go and I made a wooden top, much better I think! :)                                   First I spray painted the chairs white, aged them with some brown.... was not what I wanted, spray painted them mat black, much better but not exactly what I was looking for, aged again with brown, now it is the look that I wanted :)  You can Hardly see it on the picture..There will be comfy cushions on the chairs ;)


I made a rack for storage for plates and cups and tea of course !
Now I have doubts about the color on the wall..... is it not to much green?




Despite the small space I can still move with table and chairs.




Now I have to think what else I could make for this scene..... I'm gone, scour the internet for ideas! 

Have a great week,

Can't help myself


Yet I am started again with a small project, it is in an old mantel clock. He now looks still dirty, but I sanded it a little, I do not know if I want him to look old, or I'll paint him, I decide later.


Thought in such a small space, that's quickly done ...........  so no.... ;)
I call this project "Time for tea!" and I want this cabinet in it, found the picture on Pinterest.. :)


Find the shape quite nicely with the subtle embellishments, I can see it filled with pastries that I have collected and received.

So I'm going now, work to do!
