Seashell Cottage's new fireplace

Here are the pics of the fireplace I started yesterday all finished! I did paint as you can see put literally painted it on and wiped it straight off so it just gave a whitewashed effect and you can still see the wood through it! Painted the tiles with a couple of coats of emulsion and finished off with one coat of white radiator enamel I got from Poundland and its def given the tiles a nice glazed look. Painted the little bowl and added some pot pourri and some tiny shells.

This will make you laugh! I had to make the bunting twice as when I took the pics the large candle looked too much like a large something else (wink wink) I wont say what! so anyway I melted it a little more and in the process set fire to the bunting what a numpty!! Anyway made it again so it all turned out fine in the end and looks much more suitable for a seaside Cottage!!

I decided I just had to sort them out everytime I looked at them I could just see something else! Then the 1st thing my daughter said when she saw it was 'Mum that looks like a ***** and the 2 round candles in front are really not helping!

So I flattened the tops off and now they look a little less x-rated!! Had to include a little pic of the dog I got today! A lady who I buy things from on Ebay made it for me and it really captures my little dog its so cute I love it!

Also just had to try out my chandelier it really is so lovely Ebay really can be great for finding some really beautiful things!
