Crossing off the to do list - bedroom art

Well, it's nice to be able to get another job done! When I stenciled the wall in my bedroom it really showed that the lovely red toned tiles I had on the wall above my desk was just not working with the turquoise and warm beige walls!

Yep...it is just not working but never mind, I have just the spot for them in another room! Now, what to replace them with??? I am in "no spending mode" at the moment so time to search my craft supplies. And I struck lucky!!! I found these little carved stone plaques I bought ages ago and never did anything with plus 3 blank canvas!

So to tie in with the desk I decided to silver gild them, I still had all the materials left from the desk 

(for a tutorial on how to gild see here)

 

I painted them with a sealer undercoat first

and perfect little glittery things! Next I base coated the canvases in the same light turquoise

I did the wall stenciling in.

On this larger canvas I just used the wall stencil with the lovely beige pearlescent paint I used before.

The two smaller canvas I decided to use my pillow cases as inspiration.

These pillow cases are from Morgan and Finch, I was so happy when I found them, they tie all the colours together in the room.

I am really happy with the end result, I do need to find something small to go in the corner but that will come!
