LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: FAUX ETCHED WINDOW TUTORIAL Mix it together. Clean your window on both sides and work from the back side of your window. Once this product dries, you can clean it with windex and a paper towel but do so gently. Since the front of the window does not have the design on it, that can be cleaned normally. Your stencil will be turned over because you are working from the back LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: CLOCK FACE CDS Clock Face CDs. Not too long ago, Kim from Cheap Chic Home did a post on clock face Cd's click here . I have to admit I got a little giddy when I saw her post. I am slightly obsessed with vintage clock faces, and I buy old clocks and sell a lot of them at my space at Aubergine Emporium. I sell them as "prop value only" as so many of them plum LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: REVERSE MOD PODGE PICTURE TUTORIAL A couple weeks ago I showed you my Paris Tea Cart that I did a reverse mod podge treatment on, but I did not do a photo tutorial. As promised, here it is. I warn you there are a lot of photos illustrating each step. While it seems like a lot of work, and it is, it's much faster than hand painting and I love this process because I can mix it up with my lettering and stenciling.

LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: MAKING NEW GALVANIZED BUCKETS LOOK OLD Old buckets are very popular in decorating these days and I sell a lot of old buckets. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to pick them up at yard sales for a dollar or two, but usually at the flea markets even the smaller ones are $7. So when someone told me they found some large buckets at The 99 Cent Store for $1.99, I bought a whole bunch ofthem.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: VINTAGE VALENTINE GRAPHICS Thanks, Kim. I know I promised French Typography this week, but before Valentine's Day slips away, let me share a couple of my own personal treasures from my ephemera collection. I actually found this beautiful graphic cut this way. Not sure why it was cut, but I have saved it for years. It's very old paper and although I have seen similar LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: WIRED GARDEN CLOCHE When that was dry, I took a small paint brush and some ivory paint and dry brushed the ivory to spot lighten the cloche. Here I have it sitting over a pot of ivy with a cherub. This was a pretty good sized shade so it made a nice size cloche. You can cut the poultry wire with wire cutters and then clamp it down with long needle nose pliers. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: OLD WORLD FLOWER POTS Old World Flower Pots. The holidays have been crazy busy this year and I have many projects I want to share but they don't seem to be getting done. Last week I worked on two different new flower pots using my reverse decoupage method. I like the coloration of these, but I wish I would have trimmed around the pattern a tiny bit better. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: FRENCH GARDEN BENCH I was a bad blogger this week and did not take before pictures. I'll just describe the bench and you will get a clear picture. Cute pine bench from the 1980's with a LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: HOMEMADE SCRIPT TISSUE PAPER Here is how I did it. I took a piece of copy paper and sprayed spray adhesive on the top and the bottom. I left the middle with no spray. This was just to get the tissue paper to adhere so it would go throughthe copier.

I think this might be one of my favorites of my French invoices. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: WRAPPING PAPER PLACEMATS Each sheet of construction paper gave me two placemats. Then I cut out my wrapping paper a tiny bit larger than the construction paper rectangles. I used spray glue and sprayed a strip of glue down the left hand edge of the construction paper and then carefully laid the wrapping paper right on the edge. With the left side secured, I liftedthe
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: LIBERTY GARDEN BUCKET Liberty Garden Bucket. It's that time of year when we start thinking of patriotic themes. I have had this red bucket for over a year waiting to come up with an idea for it. When I purchased it, it was painted a strange yellow with a blue green wash on the inside. I repainted the inside with dark green and the outside with colonialred.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: IKEA POTS PARIS STYLE If you like that look, then that's the product for you. Next to each other, you can see the results of the two products and compare. Here is the pot as it started out. Kind of gray. Then I added some Delta burnt umber and dabbed it on with a dry paper towel. After that, I came back with a new paper towel and dabbed on Delta leaf green. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: RIBBONS AND BOWS LAMP SHADE I've seen a lot of re-purposed lamp shade forms in recent years. I even made a garden cloche with one, but here is a new, more romanticvariation.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: POODLE PARTY Poodle Party. A couple of weeks ago I shared this poodle skirt table topper I made out of felt. This was a total no sew project. I suggested it would be great in a teen's room or little girl's room, but today I am doing a tablescape with it. I found this tissue paperpom pom kit
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: HAMMOND VINTAGE TYPOGRAPHY Here is this week's vintage graphic. It's a 1900 invoice from Hammond Typewriter. This one has sort of a steampunk feel with the oldtypewriters.

It is called Decorative Designs by Graham Rust. If you love old book plates and LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: BLACK AND WHITE TABLESCAPE Black and white toile is one of my favorites (among my many favorites). This was a simple summery table. No muss, no fuss. Thanksfor stopping by.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: CLOCK FACE TABLE I scoured Pinterest for some "pinsperation" and combined several of the clocks into one design for my sweet little project. I had the stencils, the rubber stamps, the graphics and I LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: FRENCH GARDEN CADDY French Garden Caddy. I seem to be seeing a lot of red lately, at least for the garden. I went to the flea market a couple weeks ago with a friend so she could pick up a few things. I had no intention of buying anything for myself. However, I will confess I have a real weakness for these old tool caddies. I don't think I have ever passed one upyet.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: THE PERFECT HOST I used this grapevine bunny a couple of weeks ago for a tablescape, but I thought he was so awesome I wanted to show him off a little more. He's wearing a very cute red and white apron and he's holdingsome faux herbs.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: BIRD HOUSE CHANDELIER The bottom of the birdhouses were flat so all my husband had to do was drill out a hole to fit the wiring pipe on the chandelier arm. He made the hole a tight fit so they almost had to be screwed down onto thearm of the fixture.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: DRESSER OR CABINET? I found this wonderful dresser/cabinet at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. It was already painted black, but the paint job was awful. I have never seen a dresser quite like this before although I have seen vintage dressers that have been encased in cabinets with shelvesas well.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: RADIO FLYER POTTING BENCH Radio Flyer Potting Bench - Pinterest Inspired. This was supposed to be last week's post, but we had a little design flaw that had to be worked out. This bench was made from found objects, mostly objects found in my stash. Here is the inspiration photo I found on Pinterest one day when I was looking for potting bench ideas. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: FAUX ETCHED WINDOW TUTORIAL Mix it together. Clean your window on both sides and work from the back side of your window. Once this product dries, you can clean it with windex and a paper towel but do so gently. Since the front of the window does not have the design on it, that can be cleaned normally. Your stencil will be turned over because you are working from the back LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: HOMEMADE SCRIPT TISSUE PAPER Here is how I did it. I took a piece of copy paper and sprayed spray adhesive on the top and the bottom. I left the middle with no spray. This was just to get the tissue paper to adhere so it would go throughthe copier.
LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: REVERSE MOD PODGE PICTURE TUTORIAL A couple weeks ago I showed you my Paris Tea Cart that I did a reverse mod podge treatment on, but I did not do a photo tutorial. As promised, here it is. I warn you there are a lot of photos illustrating each step. While it seems like a lot of work, and it is, it's much faster than hand painting and I love this process because I can mix it up with my lettering and stenciling. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: MAKING NEW GALVANIZED BUCKETS LOOK OLD Old buckets are very popular in decorating these days and I sell a lot of old buckets. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to pick them up at yard sales for a dollar or two, but usually at the flea markets even the smaller ones are $7. So when someone told me they found some large buckets at The 99 Cent Store for $1.99, I bought a whole bunch ofthem.

LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: WRAPPING PAPER PLACEMATS So I scooped up the $2.99 roll of wrapping paper, dashed across the street to Michael's crafts and found some construction paper for .99 cents a sheet and came home with my goodies. I measured an old placemat I already had and cut out six rectangles of the construction paper. Each sheet of construction paper gave me two placemats.

I know I promised French Typography this week, but before Valentine's Day slips away, let me share a couple of my own personal treasures from my ephemera collection. I actually found this beautiful graphic cut this way. Not sure why it was cut, but I have saved it for years. It's very old paper and although I have seen similar LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: ROLLTOP WITH A FRENCH TWIST This project was inspired by a Graphics Fairy image I found and I knew right away I wanted to use it on something. When I printed it out, I found it hard to read the small writing in the graphic so I kept the flavor of the image and did some research on the internet to see if I could make out what the actual words were. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: IKEA POTS PARIS STYLE If you like that look, then that's the product for you. Next to each other, you can see the results of the two products and compare. Here is the pot as it started out. Kind of gray. Then I added some Delta burnt umber and dabbed it on with a dry paper towel. After that, I came back with a new paper towel and dabbed on Delta leaf green. LITTLEMISSMAGGIE: FAUX ETCHED WINDOW TUTORIAL Mix it together.

skip to main | skip to sidebar THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2015DRESSER OR CABINET?
I found this wonderful dresser/cabinet at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. It was already painted black, but the paint job was awful. I have never seen a dresser quite like this before although I have seen vintage dressers that have been encased in cabinets with shelves as well. This sweet little cabinet is very compact and would even be a great entertainment cabinet in a bedroom with the flatscreen TV on top.
The inside needed painting because it was still oak inside. All it took to transform this gem was a little paint on the inside and a lot of sanding on the outside to bring out its character. I put some numbers on the drawers and I wish I would have used a color other than antique white for the numbers, but all in all I think it turned out all right. My photos are showing a lot of glare because of the lighting. I see a huge shadow on the inside of the door in the nextphoto.
I love the details of the cabinet itself and the wood showing through gives it a nice aged look with a lot of character. Thanks for your visit. _I may be partying at...__

TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 2015 MAKING NEW GALVANIZED BUCKETS LOOK OLD Old buckets are very popular in decorating these days and I sell a lot of old buckets. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to pick them up at yard sales for a dollar or two, but usually at the flea markets even the smaller ones are $7. So when someone told me they found some large buckets at The 99 Cent Store for $1.99, I bought a whole bunch of them. The problem was they were shiny and new looking. The size was great though at 12 inches high and 11 inches across the top. Even better was that they had handles with the wooden grip on them. I looked on Pinterest for how to make new galvanized metal look old and I found a tutorial for using Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. I followed the directions which said to leave the Lysol on the metal for 30 minutes and rinse off, but at 30 minutes I found no change. Here's how I aged my buckets. I scuffed them up with 100 grit sandpaper just to scratch up the shiny surface. Then I took a scrubby sponge and used the rough side to spread the Lysol all over the inside and out of the buckets. Don't forget the lip and thehandle.
After 30 minutes there was no change so I left them to sit. I came back over an hour later and I could see something was definitely happening so I went on about my day and after about four hours, I was getting some nice patina. The problem was there were still some shiny parts, probably where I missed a spot when wiping on the Lysol. I did not clean the buckets at this point, but rather put the Lysol on my sponge and reapplied it to the buckets inside and out. The following morning I went outside to check, and the buckets were nicely aged. At this point I put them in the utility sink and rinsed them well and dried them. If you're working outside near any landscaping, I would not recommend hosing the buckets because you could get run off that would damage the nearby plant life. This was an easy project that required a little more patience than I had anticipated but it was worth it. Thanks for stopping by. _I may be partying at...__

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2015 FRENCH FARMHOUSE CABINET I don't normally do large pieces of furniture but lately I have been finding some great pieces like the two vintage bedroom sets I found and painted aqua. When I found this beauty, she was washed with stark white paint. Her leg was broken and she had been left out in the elements which split and cracked her counter top. The first thing she needed was a good furniture surgeon to mend her broken leg. That would be my husband. He did a wonderful job and you can't even tell. She's as good as new. Her counter top got a good sanding and so did the rest of her. I painted her Old White, except the counter top. That got a coat of primer gray automotive paint and then that was rubbed down with gesso. I wanted her counter to mimic an old worn metal top. She got some pretty French drawer pulls to glam her up a bit. Her white coat was glazed with some diluted Minwax stain to give her some nice aged patina. On the lower doors I reverse mod podged a toile image. I used a small corner stencil in each of the corners of the shelves and then used Frog Tape to join the corners and box the back sectionof each shelf.
Once that was done, I used some of my French stencils which I always mix and match to get the desired wording that I need to use. By mixing up the stencils, you can get something really original and it adds charm to an old piece of furniture. This would be a fantastic cabinet in a bake shop. Don't you think? I'm thrilled with the way she turned out. I'm using her for display in my space at Aubergine Emporium, but she is for sale too! Thanks for your visit. _I may be partying at...__

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2015MILK PAINT CABINET
Last Saturday, I ventured up the coast to Ventura, California to take a milk paint class from Mary Livingston. She has an adorable shop called Lavender Blue and she just recently expanded her store to larger quarters. Mary has been painting with milk paint since she was in high school. Our class lasted around 3 hours and during that short period of time Mary shared so many tips and tricks that she has learned from her many years of experience. Primitives are not for everyone, but where I live and sell, original peely paint pieces are highly sought after and coveted, and although I have tried to attain this look with every paint and special effects product on the market I have never been able to replicate an original paint finish. Until now! I can't give you all of Mary's secrets because she is writing a book, but I can tell you the tools I used, and by the way, Mary has her own line of milk paint. It's called Lavender Blue. This product really delivers. See all that glorious crackle? I didn't have to use glue or a crackle medium either. I painted the cabinet with Calendula which is an old yellow color. Then I top coated with French Linen which is a white. I'm a mix and match kind of person, so I started with a candle stick. This is my own trick so I can share it with you. I rub my corners and any place on my piece that would receive natural wear. Then I paint my piece. When I sand those areas that are waxed, the paint falls away unevenly like it was worn that way over the years. So yes, I did rub this piece down with the candle. I did not use a binding agent either with the paint because I could get the aged finish much betterwithout it.
I used a heat gun to dry the paint and I worked in small sections. I painted a side and then dried it with my heat gun. Then I went to the other side. Then I did a door and then the other door. Working in small sections helped me concentrate until I reached the desired aged look I was going for. I also rubbed a little Annie Sloan clear wax here and there. I'm not sure it's compatible with the milk paint because it is an oilier wax so next time I will stick with the Lavender Blue wax. This all sounds like it took me forever, but the cabinet was done start to finish in around two hours. When all the painting was completed and dried, I scraped it with a paint scraper to get any flaking that occurred with the heat gun. Then I gave it a rub down with a wet cloth. The wet cloth helped expose the Calendula that was hiding under the French Linen color. Milk paint will wash right off if it's not sealed with a sealer such as wax or hemp oil. Next I took a fine grit sanding block and just sanded enough to knock off any more loose paint and to gain a littlemore patina.
When all of this was completed, I rubbed it down with a light coat of clear wax mixed with a little dark wax. Mary's wax is more like a thick hand cream and, therefore, it is much easier to manipulate into the crevices than a harder wax. This look isn't for everyone, but if you love aged patina like I do and many of our customers do, then I strongly suggest you give milk paint a try. Below is the before picture. Milk paint gave this cabinet an amazing transformation and so did Mary's wonderful class. Lavender Blue has a website and they do ship the milk paint and the accompanying products. Their website is http://www.lavenderblueventura.com. Thanks for stopping by._

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2015 FRENCH FIGURAL WINDOW I found this window a couple of weeks ago. Unlike my faux etched windows, this is the real deal. I spotted it on a dealer's truck before it was unloaded and could only see the top portion of it. It was love at first sight. I bought it on the spot. It stands about five feet high and about two feet wide. The detailing is incredible and, of course, I love anything with French details. I put it in front of the hedge in our front walkway to see what it would look like and I love seeing the foliage through thewindow.
I have no place to put it in my own house so off to Aubergine Emporium it went. I hope it finds a good home very soon. This might be my find of the year, and it's only February. Thanks for your visit. _I may be partying at..._ _Wednesdays Savvy Southern Style Ivy and Elephants_

Truly Vintage
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2015 CONTEMPORARY TO FARM HOUSE CHIC I've been finding a lot of these import pieces of furniture lately that are akin to Home Goods, but I have been having a nearly impossible time finding good vintage pieces to redo. So while I'm waiting to find the stuff I really love, I'm reinventing some of these newer items to fit my style better. This is a great TV stand, console, cabinet, whatever you want to call it. It's two-tiered, has some great storage space and overall it had great lines and detailing, but with the finish it had on it, it had a contemporary vibe, almost Asian. Definitely not my vintage look. This is a very functional piece, but let's face it, it's not high end and it's not heirloom quality so I didn't spend a fortune on expensive designer paints that are so popular these days. It got a good sanding since it had a very high gloss finish, then two coats of latex paint in a warm white tone. The surfaces were painted a medium shade of gray just to give it a little more personality. Then to give it a more farm house feel, I shabbied it back just a bit to give it a more worn appearance. Once that step was done, I rubbed a bit of Minwax stain diluted with mineral spirits. I didn't want to muddy the finish, I just wanted to give a little depth to the imperfections. When it was all completed, I sprayed it with a clear coat to seal in the stain. The photo below is the before. This is the photo where my husband is saying "You want to do what? It looks fine the way it is." Then I say "Just paint it!" Thanks for visiting. _I may be partying at...__

THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2015 FAUX ETCHED WINDOW TUTORIAL One of my best sellers when I sell at the Little French Flea Market are my faux etched windows. They are very simple to do and although there's a lot of photos in this post, it's a quick and simple process so stay with me. You will need Martha Stewart's Frost Etching cream available at Michael's and Joanne's. You will also need a stencil of your choice, a mixing bowl - my mixing bowl is about a half cup custard cup - acrylic paint and a stencil brush. Of course, you will need a window. I get mine at the salvage yards. I use approximately a dollop of the frost etching cream and about half as much of my acrylic paint. That's it. Mix it together. Clean your window on both sides and work from the back side of your window. Once this product dries, you can clean it with windex and a paper towel but do so gently. Since the front of the window does not have the design on it, that can be cleaned normally. Your stencil will be turned over because you are working from the back side of the window. Tape your stencil in place. I keep a paper towel handy so when I dip the stencil brush in the paint medium I can dab it off so I don't get too much paint on my brush that could run under my stencil. It's the same principal as when you're working on walls or wood. Now just dab the paint on yourstencil.
Make sure you cover all the lettering on your stencil image. Now rinse off your stencil in the sink so that the frosted etching cream doesn't dry on the stencil. It's easy to get off if it's nottotally dried.
For this window my stencil wasn't quite big enough to fill my window space so I needed to come back and do my corners with a second design. Put your extra paint mixture into a zippy bag for about 20 minutes while the window dries enough to lay another stencil on the window. Here is what I had left of my mixture after doing a whole window. Itdoesn't take much.
Here is a Paris window I did last week. The scrolly stencil is from Wall Masque Stencilsand
the Paris stencil is from Maison de Stencils.
Here is another popular stencil I use, also from Maison de Stencils. Here is the cute little window I just finished. This weekend I will be selling at the Little French Flea Market. It's our first flea market of the year. We have moved to Northridge so please note the new address. Hope to see you there. Thanks for stopping by. _I may be partying at...__
