Thanks for the mention, I am only reading this now!! Your toilet has turned out well, I like its "roadside" look. You are right about nothing being sacred for miniatures. I was looking at my great grandmothers tiny watch the other night, I don't think I could smash it up though :D The thought crossed the mind, and quickly left, the antique watch face sighing with relief at not becoming a tiny alarm clock :D <br /><br />Loved the story, it was very funny. Chanel stands out, we can all relate to that, I have nail polish, for miniatures :D<br /><br />Maybe the "disasters" are all part of the plan, as they do seem to fit in very well in the end. Great post Elizabeth, now I need to go and make another tiny belt before the day is through :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187806125683051158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-74292165445887610622013-11-29T10:27:30.070-08:002013-11-29T10:27:30.070-08:00Вау!!!!!!!!!!

It always makes me happy to share with others what I have found has helped me achieve my goal and which may allow others to do the same. I have learned so much from Everyone else including YOU, in all the Fantastic Tutorials which have been published, so I really hope that I am able to return the favor back.

Hooray!:D Happy day! <br />Thank you my most Gracious Friend for this Wonderful compliment! I had a whole lot of fun writing this post and in working out the variety of "problems" that came along as the bathroom was developing into what it now is. I kinda went over-board with some of the aging but I am,( in general) Very Pleased with the atmosphere in this little room. However, I have to tell you Giac, that I have already amended much of it and so there will be a new Up-dated posting on the bathroom, very soon. The lighting had to wait nearly 15 years to get used, but now I can hardly wait a full day before I start to play with them again,... go figure?<br />Welcome back, dear Giac! :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-8220053788093915002013-11-12T07:38:28.734-08:002013-11-12T07:38:28.734-08:00Hello Lady Elizabeth,

I cannot put into words how much I admire and am inspired by your work. Your ageing is just fantastic and the way you find, use and transform every day items into miniature is terrific!. All the bathroom fixtures look so good together and really tell a story. Once again there is nobody that can create character and atmosphere the way you do my friend. The lighting was obviously meant to be when you bought it because it is just perfect in the room. I love the accessories. This bathroom truly is a work of art!

I love to age stuff and the latest find of mine has been the wood toned water-based gel stains that I found at a local dollar store. They age the walls so easily and well. I agree, that doing it on purpose, takes the sting out of making mistakes accidentally! :D Your old doll's house with the paper glued directly to the wood, sounds intriguing Jean. Since you are such a Fantastic Researcher when it comes to VINTAGE PAPERS and books, I can imagine that the walls of your doll;s house are beautifully covered even with the water marks and stains. I hope to get to see it sometime ( hint hint) :D <br /><br />elizabeth<br />p.s.

Your kindness and thoughtfulness and your love for God and for others is so refreshing to read about in your postings. Thank you for enjoying the Levi jean patch! That was something that I have been waiting to use for quite a while and had not had the opportunity until now. I hate throwing things out unless I give them a good "once over" to see if there could be an "After life" for them( in miniature), before it hits the bin, and in this case there was! :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-19200245729119320942013-11-08T09:05:27.577-08:002013-11-08T09:05:27.577-08:00Hi Elizabeth, You are so brilliant, I love this bl...Hi Elizabeth, You are so brilliant, I love this blog and your terrific sense of humour!! Beautiful light fixture and how wonderful to have such a great stash. The way you aged the paper makes it perfect. I just love worn, rusty and aged minis. I glued some of my wallpaper directly to the wooden walls of one of my old houses so now with the dust and wooden walls leaking through, it looks aged too (so much better to do it with purpose and as a mistake. Such wonderful aging on everything and you are so good at finding real treasures. I think that mini angels must be giving you help with your finds. This bathroom should be in an Art Gallery, it is a real work of art!! Thanks for the hint about the Top Coat too.

I have been acting since I was 5 and although I have only acted in about 2 musicals (1 when I was 5 ) , I think I can totally do this job :). <br /><br />I love every single rusty bit of your bathroom, Elizabeth. I, who think the bathroom is the most important room in any household. I am sure Arthur feels the same way although I am not sure how he feels about the curtain and the chair but who cares right? Everyone else loves it :). It takes someone very special to put together artisan's pieces like the lamp with plastic tub and make everything look like they were made to be soul mates. :)<br />Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-42516124263250120002013-10-27T21:53:21.805-07:002013-10-27T21:53:21.805-07:00Good evening Rosethe'!

That is one of the features that I enjoy most about the tub is that the tub is quite deep and therefore one could really get wet all over! :)) I had the tub face the window just so the one in the tub could take full advantage of the sunlight from the window with the electric bathroom lights filtered through the curtain. This room may be old-fashioned but the home owner still indulges in life's little luxuries which include her beautiful perfumes and bath products.<br /> Just as every woman should. :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-43634521756313319852013-10-26T22:47:57.337-07:002013-10-26T22:47:57.337-07:00Hello Norma!

The string of black pearls was from a necklace that I purchased at a thrift store, just recently. The necklace was composed of a strand black ball-chain, a floral pendant from which was suspended the teeny tiny black ball-chain that I detached and then used for the pearls. It's amazing that they make them that small! But they are Perfect for the necklaces. <br />I am so Pleased that you have enjoyed the Chapter sub-headings Norma.

This space was really challenging and I had to rearranged the fittings here there and everywhere over and over, to try and maximize all of the available floor space. My suggestion for your Orchid is to get your major fittings for the bathroom even if you just have to use mock ups so that you can actually see just how much room you do or don't have. I think that the Orchid has even less space than this house and the delicate proportions of the Chrysnbon bathroom kit may be your answer. If you visit Otterine blogspot and search the Haunted Heritage bathroom you will see how well the kit could serve your needs. I am so happy that you have found this posting Inspirational because it happens with me too; when I see just how clever so many hobbyists are and how they are so willing to share their talents and gifts with others! :D<br /><br />elizabeth<br />oh, and another thing. Try to think Small.
