More Painting Roses...
You will probably not be surprised, Dear Readers, to see that the outer wall, the Door of this Tiny Chamber, is also Painted with Roses! It is Such a Tiny space, this Dressing room.... that there is barely room for the furniture I have planned. Nevertheless, the Garden wall on that side was crying out for an Arbor with a seat... so I started to build one.....
And of course, I had to paint the walls before I could paint the roses.....
You can see that I am "Building" the bench to surround the "window" in this room...
(one of my found marbles!!)
At first I left the area behind the bench open...
but then I decided it needed to be brick too....
Here you can see the background being added....
And starting to paint the Roses...
they need to be under-painted with several coats of white before adding the color...
this is so the color is not influenced by the color it is covering....
Then finally adding the color....
And lastly adding the bench....
Which conveniently covers some of my uneven painting!
(Yes, the glue is still not dry so it shows here...!)
And then attaching the door so we can see the effect....
Except that we really Can't see it because the door is swung open.....
And if we try to look in from the Bedroom side....
It is barely visible....
So you will have to use your Imaginations with this Little Room!!
Meanwhile, now that both sides of the Bedroom wall are painted,
it is Time to glue the walls in place!
Except that I needed to make an adjustment in the
Wire framework which supports this Tree House!
Here you can see the structure showing the wires with several of the walls removed....
The wall placement was such that the wires were ending up inside the room....
and so they needed to be bent outward before continuing upward....
As you can see in this picture below.....
Which then meant the walls need to be notched slightly to accommodate the wires....
Which you can sort of see on the back side of the wall below...
And then a little patch needed to be made to cover the part of the
wire still showing on the inside of the room.....
Can you see it on the back corner...? No?
Great! I don't want you to notice it!!!
And here is another view from above.....
With the walls glued in place and the wires on the Outside!!!
(I do still need to patch the notch for the wire by the window...)
And now that the Walls are in place we can
test the Lighting without Everything Falling Down...!!!
I have found a Lovely jewelry finding that has a very Oriental look....
and fits around one of those tiny LED's!
Here we are testing the fit.....
and Here we are noticing a Problem on the Horizon....
Either the walls are too short or the bed is too tall!!!
I can tell I am going to have to get Creative with the Ceiling....
But I suspect we all know that was going to happen anyway.....!!!
So while we are figuring that out, Dear Readers,
maybe we should just take Refuge in the Little Garden Room...
and Dream about Roses....
Even though we can't see the Room from the Inside....
with all the Roses surrounding us....
Perhaps we can Imagine the other wall of the Side.....
Sitting quietly in the Arbor....
And the Roses....
Always More Roses....
Can you smell them....?
I wish I were painting More Roses....
