~ Union Jack...A Good Boy...Canada...and the Queen ~


Hello friends...Wow, this is a rarity..
Two posts within a week
I'm on a roll it seems.

Remember in the last post I showed the Union Jack vintage students desk?
My son Billy and I decoupaged a Cavalinni & Co. poster onto the drawers.
So easy!

I used Annie Sloan clear soft wax and distressed just a little.

I add some soft dark wax just on the edges to give it a little age.
The wax went on beautifully over the decoupage.
The desk top was in very good shape and had a nice soft patina, so I left it unpainted.
This makes it much more functional as a working desk also.
Especially if a young one is using it.
You will notice I only have a pull on the top drawer...still for matching pulls for the other three.

A few new pretty additions to the shop are a lovely Dominion of Canada porcelain tea cup and saucer.
In  the center of this photo is a beautiful Made in Germany porcelain child's mug.
The gilded lettering says
" For A Good Boy"
It is tiny and so delicate...I love it.

and who can resist a pretty vintage Queens Coronation tea cup and saucer?
Not me...I had to bring it home.
Hopefully these pretty additions will find happy homes.
That's it for now..
Until next time...be kind and stay creative.

Love the Union Jack drawers!!! And a Dominion of Canada cup -- wow...its been so many years since we were known as a Dominion. It is still part of our official name but we have phased it out over the decades...and in 1983 we began celebrating "Canada Day" on July 1st as opposed to calling it "Dominion Day". That cup is a true vintage piece!

Shingle Cottage said...

Oh wow the chest of drawers looks amazing!! i love it and the Queens coronation tea cup and saucer is divine,Janet do you know any good boys? ;) x

Kathy said...

Beautiful posts as always! I finished my first Chalk Paint project and it look beautiful. Thanks for all of your help.

Erin said...

How clever, Janet! That seems MUCH simpler than taping off and painting the Union Jack (which I still have yet to work up the nerve to try...) and it turned out beautifully all the same.

Linda said...

What a clever idea to decoupage a poster to the front of furniture. I love how it turned out. Inspiring post.

Linda at French Hollow said...

Wow - the desk is gorgeous! If you and Annie Sloan keep going this way there will one day be no more ugly furniture in the entire world!

Blessings,
Linda

Sue said...

Such a fun look, Janet! Decoupaging is much easier than painting, IMHO. I have no painting ability at all. LOL But I can paste and smooth just fine!

Dar said...

Works of art, wonderful, perfecto.
You and your son are so talented.
I do adore the child's mug and all the other pretties.
Blessings

First off I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
