A Fabulous Feature!

Thanks so much to Beckie at knockoffdecor.com.  She contacted me the other day to see if I would submit my sheet music dress form on her site to be compared with a dress form on PBteen. 

Well that was a no-brainer, yes please!

It was so fun to see my photo on their site.  Her site is so professionally put together.

Here is how it appears on her site:

Sheet Music Dress Form

Laura from Finding Home created this gorgeous music sheet dress form.  I think the sparkly knob on the top just adds to the perfection of this piece.

I saw a similar Dress Form at Pottery Barn Teen which retails for $199 but aren’t half as fabulous as Laura’s..

If you would like to see more information on my sheet music dress form, you can find it here.

Thanks for reading and have a great night!

Sheet Music Dress Form

It seems like it has been forever since I have finished a project around here, but I did get a little one done today, and photographed!

I made a sheet music dress form that will live in my Master Bath, at least for now.

My inspiration was this full sized lady I saw when I was at a Paris Flea Market last fall.

This lovely lady was $400.  Ouch.

I have had this dress form in my bathroom for years, and frankly I haven’t really liked it for about the last 5.

 

I was not a fan of the swirly thing and the painted on laces up the front was just a little too “tart” for my taste.

So, I gave her a makeover.

First, I took her off the metal base.  It was all attached as one unit with the swirly thing screwed on to the top so it was easy to remove.

Then, I used my Mod Podge and covered her in torn pieces of sheet music.  Across the middle, I was intentional about the “Love Duet” title, but other than that, I was random.  I did tear away the perimeter of the pages so that there was little blank space.

 

I had the candle holder that she is placed on.  I simply attached her with gorilla glue.

I widened the hole in the top and simply inserted the vintage crystal door knob for the topper.

   

I happen to think she came out rather lovely and much improved.

   And, she was made with what I already had in the house.

And, although she is not full sized like the Parisian lady, she also wasn’t $400.

 

Now, if I was a well behaved blogger, I would have lots of pictures of the different steps, but no such luck.

I am just glad to have finished a project and photographed it.  Hopefully, this is the start of lots of momentum.

Oh, and for the first time in a while, I will be sharing at some of the parties on my sidebar.
