Tardis Door

I made our youngest a Tardis door for his bedroom as he is right into Doctor Who - he has also got the rest of us hooked too ;-)

The plan

Positioning the timber on the flush panel door

Glueing and nailing the timber onto the door

Painting the Van Gogh Starry Night

I painted the door in Annie Slone's Napoleonic Blue Chalk Paint. After applying wax I applied some dark wax to grunge it up a bit in the style of the Tenth Doctor's Tardis. I used my vinyl cutter to do the lettering and printed up a sign for the door, attaching it with drawing pins.

Of course he loves his new door and I do too ;-)

Laundry love

I love having a pretty laundry - some people say that a pretty laundry makes the task easier - well I don't know about that - but it is nice to have a room that you use and go through that looks nice.

I decided to make a light fitting using clothes pegs. I used some wire mesh left over from when we made the aviary. I bought a round wire ring from lincraft and attached the two together. Using a lampshade we cut off the top bit and welded it to the top of the fitting. Then it was simply a matter of putting the pegs on and using a batten fix pendant thingie to hang it up. I'm very pleased with how it looks.
