Paper Dreams

New quick project just completed.
A makeover inside the living room armoire. Lined previously with Italian inspired wallpaper - golden yellow background with trailing vines and bunches of purple grapes ~ quite lovely and enjoyed for many years. I'm now wanting a more neutral look. Used more pages from the antique French journals ~ perfect, inexpensive, only took an hour or so. Attached pages with double- sided archival scrapbooking tape.



Here's the finished project ~ now have to decide what to display. Perhaps a mix of old folded linens, books, china, these vintage jars. Don't you just love armoires? They have so much potential for storage and display ~ much more interesting than closets cut into walls.

Yes, I removed the dust jackets - too many conflicting colors - but I've saved them!

At last, a place where I can display all this beautiful English bone china - a few pieces belonged to my grandmother, the remainder a fabulous find at such a reasonable price at SuzAnna's Antiques...........................the place to treasure hunt in Raleigh, North Carolina.
