I've been wanting to make a plate rack for the shabby chic kitchen for such a long time.
I finally decided I had thought about it long enough and just had to sit down and make it. It was nowhere near as difficult to make as I thought it was going to be.
I also made a little shelf and painted those sweet little parfait glasses, they're metal minis.
And while we're in the shabby house...I received a beautiful gift from Kim Saulter just before I went on holiday.
This gorgeous 'real life' cupcake book which Liberty looks at every day. She goes through it page by page and I have to read it and tell her about each cupcake.
And Kim also sent this glass platter of the most exquisite Christmas cookies, they look so perfect in the shabby house!
Thank you so much Kim!

Oh Mercedes! I don't know if you've received my messages because I need your address for Felicity's doll!

Thank you for your lovely comment by the way.I am always aware that a child could be looking or reading too.If you visit England, I'd love to go to the museum of Childhood with you and your chidren.

ReplyDeleteThe little plate rack is ideal in that space - I really like the finish you have given it.
ReplyDeleteHello Mercedes. I just love your kitchen, I'd love to live in your house.
ReplyDelete:O)
How can such a tiny place hold so many beautiful things? I Love the rack! The plates are wonderful too. I just painted metal as well. Not easy. Did you use a primer 1st? And a varnish? Your perfume bottles still look wonderful although it's almost 1 year now since I received them? Those bottles never got shabby, you know :)
ReplyDeleteThe rack it's so lovely,very cute.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your gifts
Hugs!!
I love the plate rack-- I'd love one for my 1:1 kitchen! Your little parfait dishes are wonderful. You always think up such sweet little details for your little shabby house!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jill
Mercedes... I love the plate rack. You are so gifted and talented...Lorella
ReplyDeleteOH! how wonderful your new plate racks! but how do you paint in that way? I did not have success with the roll I sent to you ... you think it might feel good in your kitchen if it were painted shabby? I still have much to learn ..
ReplyDeleteCaterina
Lovely gifts :)
ReplyDeleteThat plate rack is fabulous, a great addition to that corner.
Great mini-ing weather here in NZ at the moment isn't it - pity all my mini stuff is in Oz and I'm in need of good weather to paint do stuff to the outside of the REAL cottage! Have plenty of inside tasks tho while we wait (impatiently) for the rain to push off.
This is one of the most lovely kitchen I have ever seen!! Wonderfull work!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Karin
