I did the ceiling like the sky with clouds. And I added a light in the chandelier. The chandelier is pretty big. So I started a smaller one. Then I tried out both and guess what... I like the big one! It looks more opulent. I did the door trim and painted it gold.
I also started on the outside. First, I painted the barn black so that when I put the boards, I could leave gaps. I carved on some stones.
Here's the other side. I'll have to wait till the roof is on to complete the chimney. It's such a puzzle figuring out what should be done first! I'm always afraid of that " oops! I forgot..." moment.
In case you think you recognize this little structure- it's Greenleaf's Annie's Lobster Shack. I just cut out a window in the roof to make a dormer and covered up the side window. I also made the other window bigger and didn't put windows in the door.
I painted a carved out design in gold for the door.
It's just resting against the wall right now.
I think I like this color! That's my camera setting. I'll might try painting the bulb again. This time in yellow. I'll give this some thought!
It looks very cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it looks very opulent as well, love the ceiling and the walls and the doors and the fireplace.
Well, I guess all of it. :)
I love seeing the progress you are making. You move so fast! Beautiful and inspirational.

What a fun idea to have a MA room in a barn! Love it. I like the yellow colour too, makes it look more like the glow of candle light.
ReplyDeleteI have painted many of my bulbs with some glass paints (yellows and reds), I love the effect!
It's gorgeous! I love the contrast of the beautiful inside that is so very feminine and then the rustic outside. Nice work ♥

Oh My!!! I had no idea you were making something for Marie Antoinette....be still myheart!! I took over a Marie Antoinette Mail Art group back in April, so this is a subject very near and dear...I shall be keeping a close watch. Your work is amazing...just amazing. I am right now working on a little blinged out pink faerie house that I will share at Faerieluna in the next week or two...nothing like this, however.
