Another John says - Suzan says and a makeover

Yesterday I posted some small pieces I was going to makeover - here's one of them.....................


and now she looks like this


I used ASCP paris grey - with a white wash over it and a little bit of distressing -

Here are some close ups





Hmmm - let's see now - I think I used 6 different arrangements to put on the table - ( haven't posted all of them ) I AM THE LOUSIEST PHOTOGRAPHER OUT THERE so this is my feeble attempt at trying to make something look good -

You see the 1st photo?  With the branches sticking out precariously near the foyer?

Are you ready for another John says - Suzan says?

As I'm whipping around the table like the professional photographer that I try so hard to be - kneeling - bending - ( you should see me lol a lot of effort goes into it - I just can't seem to get it )
Anyways John decides he needs something out of the foyer....................

JOHN SAYS - Dear God - I really can't take this anymore
SUZAN SAYS - What? What have I done now?
JOHN SAYS - It's like trying to maneouver through a jungle living here ( as he tries to unhook several branches that have gotten caught in his sleeve )
SUZAN SAYS - I'm taking pictures for my blog
JOHN SAYS - You've changed the table I don't know how many times - I mean, what's wrong with you?
SUZAN SAYS - You don't get it
JOHN SAYS - I don't even think your followers get it Suzan -
SUZAN SAYS - I bet you they do John - and by the way you broke a couple of those branches off, could you be more careful, do you think?
JOHN SAYS - Are they your priceless heirlooms for God's sakes - just go out and steal a couple of more from the neighbours why don't you? ( he's referring to this escapade
JOHN SAYS - why don't you tell your bloggers you're still in your night gown at 12 o'clock noon, eh,
why don't you tell them that?
JOHN SAYS - or do you just want to tell them all the things I say and do?
JOHN SAYS - if only people knew......................


SUZAN is peeing her pants like usual - 
and I really do believe it's time to go get dressed now
the secret is out of the bag.................

New Pieces

This post is for you Caroline!!!!


and this beauty


nice and small ( for a change )

and the sweetest young couple expecting their first baby bought these as a nursery " ensemble "


they felt the stripes on the chest were to " matchy matchy " so I painted them out and put a stencilled detail on it -
on the small end table I put a chrystal knob and a silver back plate for a little bling


so they're all painted the same color combinations - but each piece has their own special details and character.
I think this is going to make a gorgeous nursery and I'm just as excited as them :)

and on a final note - I know you Americans make fun of our money - Monopoly money - ( but honestly I prefer it different colors - I'm always so so careful when I'm in the States checking and checking to see if
I have the right denomination - lol - it really is easier when they're all different colors - but wait till you see
what the goverment has done now -
CREEPY - LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING  Lord Voldemort would use - ugghhhh


isn't it the weirdest looking thing ( apparently you cannot forge it )

I mean I'll take it - I'll take tons and tons of them actually - but I don't have to like it
( and I emphatically don't )
Sort of looking like Jetson's Monopoly money now, doesn't it? Space age at it's finest,  lol

Off to paint again
So I can earn some more of those things.......................
