The Chateau Salon - Part 3

I've been working on various items for the salon over the last week.  To complete the panelling I've made some dado rails.  For this I used strips of adhesive flooring and covered with self ahesive borders, mine come in packs of three from Poundland.  I then gave them a coat of white chalk paint and top coated with gold.

The borders in progress with some help from the cat.

Borders in place.

I also experimented with making a rug, using a piece of fabric and more sticky borders.  After painting with several coats of cream emulsion, remove the stickies so the original fabric shows through.  It creates a delicate pattern.

I've undercoated the following items of furniture with white chalk paint and then a top coat of emulsion.  (please note that the clock in the final photos is still in undercoating phase).

A Dollshouse Emporium plastic coated piano and stool (not shown).

  

The clock I inherited somewhere along the way.  The chairs are resin and were originally green and brown.

I've added gold detailing to the fireplace.

And this is what the room is starting to look like now.
