Hi EPeeps!! Well, I didn't realized was how CrAzY things were going to get around the house and how MY art time was going to be slashed when we moved into our new house! I did find away around losing art time ... making new decorations for the house!! Our new entrance way needed some personalization, and while I was at the store I found a pack of home decor paper that came with design ideas. So, as tired as I was, I decided to use one of the ideas from the paper pack. But of course, I needed to put my own spin on things!! Luckily, with all my supplies from EP - I made this finishing piece!!
Here is the Before picture of our entrance way!
Then, I had one last blank spot in the bottom left ...
So for the final piece, I started with a plain wood plaque piece. I coated it with gesso.
I used Dina Wakley gel medium to 'glue' down some dictionary paper.
And some fun Tissue paper for some visual interest.
Then I realized that the black and white keys and text were just a little too bold. I mixed a little bit of plain white gesso with water to create a 'wash' over the paper. The effect was perfect!!
Then I grabbed a chevron stencil and used my Dina Wakley Lemon Heavy Body Paint to stencil onto the black and white paper.
I LOVE this color!!
I added some black letters and used Dina Wakley's black gesso to go around the edge of the wood.
I added some picture hanging strips and put her up on the wall!!
And then I stuck the Happy piece on the wall!! I love it!! It finished off the wall collection!! Now, I just need to figure out if I should paint the table yellow, gray or white?
So keep creating and using your pieces to decorate your house!! Putting
up something I made makes us feel more at home in our new space!!

This is another awesome project, and just perfect for your spot on the wall!
What a 'happy' way to dress up your entryway Karen! S0 bright and fun!
Love it and I think you should do the chair in a light gray which I think would play off so well off the yellow. Wonderful piece of art decor.
What a lovely and HAPPY plague you made. Very decorative !! I think if it was my table I would feel bad to paint it. It's a beautiful table. But guess it's because I love the impression of an old vintage table in "bare" wood... As Micki in her comment above said it might be a good idea to paint the chair light gray....... But of course you'll find out what works the best for you.... Lol
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs from Monica.... Spain
