It's only a few more sleeps until my littlest girl has her fourth birthday. The invitations have been sent, the theme chosen, the cake planned and the countdown of sleeps remaining is discussed daily. There has been no time for all the Christmas hoopla, we are in serious party planning mode. And this means some serious pink.
So I have been busy working on a birthday present surprise project for my pink loving girl. Remember this shelf for $15 from the oppie near the sea?
Well, I finally got around to painting it white and preparing it for a wallpaper makeover. I wanted to do something similar to the dresser I did a while back.
This time I decided we needed a whole lot more pink. Thank goodness for Ada from Vintage sheet addict opening her little blog shop on the other side of the world. She has THE best stash of vintage wallpaper I have seen and she is selling it in mixed bundles and also by the metre/roll. Needless to say, due to prompt international postage, Christmas came early at my place.
The Mod Podge dries so quickly in this hot humid December weather, lucky I'm a fast worker.
So, do you think it's pink enough? We'll have to wait and see what the girl thinks.
Love you, my sweet pea minxy girl.
Oh this is soooo gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for Ada!

Bestest to you and yours

I'd be thrilled and if I was four I think I'd whoop with joy and do a few laps around the round. Such a yucky green thing became a seriously lovely piece of furniture in your hands.

Oh Mel it's just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLiongirl had that glint in her eye even back then when she was tiny!
I hope she's got a pretty pink frock to wear to her party (no 'black' please Mum!) and that she has a wonderful birthday x
My little girl is all grown up otherwise I'd be wanting to do a project like this. It looks fab!

ReplyDeleteMod Podge is a glue that dries clear, can also be used to seal items, available at Spotlight. mel x
ReplyDeleteMod Podge is also very 1970's Ms CArmel! Right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteThat looks to be just the right amount of pink you have there. She'll love it! Your canisters would look mighty nice on those shelves.
Happy Birthday, Pinky!
Best wishes to your little girl. Love what you did with that shelf. Retro floral goodness. xx
