Big sister’s flowery meadow

Little romantic details can make all the difference to an older sister’s room. Children can help restore their own things, for instance by painting coat hangers or choosing how to decorate their furniture. Working together helps them to appreciate their own private domains.

A flower motif was used for both the walls and the bed in Elina’s room. The walls were painted with J393.

Painting with stencils:

The head of the old pine bed was painted by stippling through a stencil using Feelings Furniture Paint (K424, J452).

The same delicate flower motif also appears on the curtains.

Old assorted coat hangers are pleasing to the eye after being painted with Feelings Furniture Paint (X342, V338) to match the furnishings.

Adhesive-lacquer technique:

Paint the frame with Feelings Furniture Paint.

Use hobby glue to apply pictures or figures cut from paper napkins onto the surface.

Finish the surface with 2 to 3 coats of Kiva Furniture Lacquer.
