French House part 12 - Bedroom part 1 painting walls
Yesterday I painted my bedroom walls and the ceiling with the cream paint tester.
Of course I will distress them later....
I had also some problems with my house. There is a big crack in the back wall (photo 2) and so I have to change my "wallpaper plan".
The solution is: no wallpaper for the sidewalls and only wallpaper for the back wall. I will do also wood panelling (not to much pink "Toile-de-Jouy" wallpaper for the wall because I have also rose bed linen!).
Have a great day

New Minis for my French House
I was shopping for my French house. I bought

Susanne was so kind and sent me 2 little extras.
A ribbon and a lace card for my haberdashery shop
Thank you Susanne
Here is the link for Susannes's shop:
I really like the rugs....because they looks so old perfect for my old French house!
Have a great day

French house part 6 - wood glue advice
The quality of my house is not very good.... before I can start with the frames I have to fill the spaces between windows/door and the wall.....
For this job I have created a "pasty bag" (a plastic bag with a small hole in one of the corners) so it is easierer to put the wood glue into the spaces.....(and you have also clean fingers!). The hole of the bottle is to big!!
Fill all holes/spaces with wood glue and let dry. If you have some glue on your windows/wall clean it before it is dry (with a wet (not to wet) kitchen paper. Use a wooden coffee stir (in Germany we have wooden ones at McDonalds) as a palette-knife.
Have a great day
Sonja
