At last, the Parlour Sofa

Thank you for your lovely comments regarding my last post.   The Bedroom hasn't moved forward at all since then and now, with only a week to go, I'm holding off buying anything or doing anything to it until after my trip to Miniatura next weekend where I'm hoping to find lots of lovely minis and accessories.

So, until then, I thought I'd better do something with my very swanky sofa in the Parlour.   This sofa has been sitting there in it's naked state since I last posted about that particular room.    It's a John Hodgson piece (in the raw) and I was so chuffed at having found it.   It's signed on the bottom and everything!





Using Crafter's Acrylic paint I gave the body of the sofa three coats of green and the wooden framework received two coats of mahogany.   A touch of gold on the castors and it was job done.

Ta da!


I also gave the whole piece a coat of matt sealant.
