We have mismatched curtains in our parlor. The front set we have, I found at a second hand shop a while back. The one I'm temporarily using on the side window is totally not an obvious match in pattern, style (that one is a cafe, front is more traditional half height plus the top bits that trail down just so), and also an obviously different shade of "not white". (The cafe lace set came from a shop in Cape May. Had that for years. Usually on the kitchen door.)Willa wrote:* Yes, mismatched linens pretending to be curtains, with one whiter than the other.
I like how you managed to pair it with other pieces you have on hand (well, the molds, but still!). Nice progress.Corsetière wrote:Willa wrote:That muted 20's polychrome always looks nice. Even in parts the de-silvered fixtures are looking much, much better.

lol! $2.50 a piece!
Thanks! It's not such a bad job since I am doing it in sections. I will need to make a decision about the gold color soon. I think I'm going to need a metal rimer to protect everything before I paint. I am tempted to gild things but I don't think that would be really practical based on how weirdly shaped everything is. I don't think I could get in some of the crevises of the arms with gold leaf.

Geez - the mojo is an illusion. I am working at a middle-aged-lady- who-hates-the-sun-but hates-to get-up-early-to beat-the-sun pace. Also I am whiney about how my feet hurt on the ladder. And it's too hot right now. That's my actual speed.
