I also think there’s a slight distortion in the appearance of the amount of space between the top picture and the molding. But, limitations of my photography aside, there’s definitely room here for another small piece or two. I think something square or round, to the right, would work well. This is a plus — there’s room for more if I see something I love or inspiration strikes. https://www.rebeccadegroodt.com/blog/2020/9/3/transitions-september-news-for-the-studio monthly 0.5 2020-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1599504687595-G93P9YWT500TKHMPIB8W/sunflowers+and+pumpkins.png Blog - Transitions: September News from the Studio One good thing from 2020: A successful pumpkin patch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1599508084292-D36F5OK5PKPQJSI84DAQ/bayleaf+market+1.png Blog - Transitions: September News from the Studio Bayleaf Market in progress . . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1599509833008-4BB16HITQ1LRYGCY52M6/September+Newsletter.png Blog - Transitions: September News from the Studio https://www.rebeccadegroodt.com/blog/2020/7/24/trusting-the-journey monthly 0.5 2020-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595602598774-88C9UGU0HBMHAO1N0WUS/Trusting+the+Journey+blog+post.png Blog - Trusting the Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595605814921-SPSVHM8B8KMC2Q3HQWFJ/Trusting+the+Journey+2.png Blog - Trusting the Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595606945571-FD39OHW52CIOMEW4AT6O/Trust+the+journey+3 Blog - Trusting the Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595607136908-JYHNQR9EJ0BX7BSMFQN9/Trust+the+journey+5.png Blog - Trusting the Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595607033784-02LR4VJFA702JRGTSOA8/Trusting+the+journey+4.png Blog - Trusting the Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1595607328117-04ZXBL93DFP5UYP1ALJH/Trust+the+journey+6.png Blog - Trusting the Journey https://www.rebeccadegroodt.com/blog/decoupagedecortricks monthly 0.5 2020-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592508850315-HNIBBML3GTTKJQSCZURI/decoupagecowfigure2.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592508952844-AJSLL6NYEQ1Y9B5EOYJR/decoupagecowfigure1.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks I think she’s wishing she was in the pasture with the other cows — paper mache cow figurine enhanced with vintage sheet music, faux moss and a tiny fabric flower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592509382594-HQVZZ45A88OI3AZTCYA2/patrioticship.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks This patriotic sailing ship adorns the kitchen mantel in July. To make this piece I decoupaged an art print from an old book (see below) to a discarded kitchen cabinet door. First I painted the door blue and distressed the paint. I glued down the print when the paint was dry and sealed it satin acrylic varnish. Once that had dried, I antiqued the piece with dark wax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592510049843-WB1V2OQ7IG3XAATTNLY7/shellframepainting.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks The family room mantel also wears a nautical-themed look in July. I mentioned this “antique painting” in the blog post Gifts from the Sea. In that post I talked about the shell frame; in this post I’ll show you how to give a decoupaged print a painted texture in the tutorial below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592511470628-5TUSXY9TOLV5WDSC0TVG/porch+decor.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks Thrift store frames, found images and several coats of varnish create art that can stand up to weather on the screened porch. Imagery is everywhere. The longer piece in the corner features an empty bag of chicken feed picked up at a flea market and decoupaged with old magazine text to what was once a chalk board in my daughters’ playhouse. The green-framed picture is a calendar page decoupaged to a piece of plywood with the frame simply glued on top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592512932597-HOAY9NCZTKUF8P51C0O7/book+of+prints.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592591445177-2Y4VWRLSRKLEMCSEAG2F/1.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592591625279-W2G4LCDXTAUX0BKX9XN0/2.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592591662610-8L5FGWOP3DNWZ12OYY3U/3.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1592515052372-R9U65AQ3CDRAEJKSC73O/garage.png Blog - Decoupage Decor Tricks It would be a victory for me to get this doors-to-folding-screen project off my to do list.

It’s interesting to me that my great grandmother had one of these souvenir boxes — very similar to the ebay listings shown in the bottom left corner of the collage. Where did this wife of a small-time farmer in southern Indiana get one of these? I can’t imagine she ever took a sea-side vacation; maybe someone brought it to her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1579225898415-YX3L71QYPOKQNLMZ9YEN/Blog+Post6e.png Blog - Gifts from the Sea Shells make intriguing frames for photos, prints and mirrors, particularly if the pictures are nautical-themed. The antique example here (bottom) features a print of a ship. I made a piece with a similar look (top) for a sea-themed mantel arrangement. I cut a picture from an old art book and adhered it to canvas board, then glued the shells directly on the print. I used a dark glaze to give the piece an aged look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1579212063737-FOGHIGTYI5JGA4PIY0M2/Blog+Post6c.png Blog - Gifts from the Sea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1579214381328-ZAYLRT79NK8GV2HVMLQR/Blog+Post6d.png Blog - Gifts from the Sea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1579210988704-3IP1R9MQPFEPYRV36XWN/BlogPost+6b.png Blog - Gifts from the Sea https://www.rebeccadegroodt.com/blog/2019/12/4/the-shop-is-open monthly 0.5 2019-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1575485222638-EQWS1ELAYP19NG8VSODH/shop+launch.png Blog - The Shop is Open https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1575489141298-OPVEWPT7CRX7VO10DN03/1.jpg Blog - The Shop is Open https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1575489197625-YFCM2NW3Y3T3Z390G2OQ/2.jpg Blog - The Shop is Open https://www.rebeccadegroodt.com/blog/2019/11/8/a-very-custom-gallery-wall-the-laundry-room monthly 0.5 2019-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1573246510943-LBQ7H7TFY4ZAR6JRUR83/Laundry+Room+shelves1.jpg Blog - A Very Custom Gallery Wall: The Laundry Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cc2280e4b00a460e570dd4/1573245213080-44NMQE3A7CBDZ1CN87I2/Laundry+Day+by+JC+Spock.jpg Blog - A Very Custom Gallery Wall: The Laundry Room Laundry Day by J.C.
