Have you noticed how just about everything looks better on a pedestal? I am continually on the hunt for treasures, and when I spot a pedestal
anything I quickly snatch it up! Today I wanted to share with you one of my latest creations.
I have been a
bad blogger lately, as I keep forgetting to take
before photos! Anyway, this began as a vintage dark wooden pedestal bowl. Nothing terrible, but nothing extraordinary, either! Of course I had to paint her cream. (Yes, I know that you are shocked by this revelation!) I really love the scalloped design along the rim, especially after distressing, which really highlights all of the wonderful detail. A bit of Ralph Lauren antiquing glaze in "Smoke" and she was looking better already!
To the front, I decoupaged a copy of a beautiful French soap label, which I found over at the
Graphics Fairy (
thanks, Karen!). Isn't it gorgeous?
And for a fun little surprise, I decoupaged vintage sheet music to the inside of the bowl. Love!
Here's one last look! Now to find some more pedestal anythings!
I am linking up with the following fun parties:

It's lovely. I especially love the savon Jasmin label and sheet music liner.
I don't have any pedestals, but now I know I need some!!!This is beautiful!
This turned out so pretty, Donna! Looks like etsy is finally picking up again!
I totally agree-scales were hot this past year-just seemed to place importance on the object inside!
I'm with you, Donna, I love pedestals like these, too! Love this white and with the decoupage. I found a square one at Goodwill a few months ago and painted it Heirloom White. I love it! Just need to find something else to put in it now that Christmas is over!
Agree too, love pedestals...especially on cake plates!! Your work is great!!!
Oh--this is gorgeous, Donna!!! And I love the pedestal...it's so much more formal!! Gorgeous creation!!!

Beautiful. It looks great with the label. Came out awesome.
That is just adorable, Donna- Love it-I love pedestals too...and often combine a couple of things (old candlesticks, etc) to get a pedestal look.
I have been telling MyHero for years that I would LOOK and FEEL wonderful up on a pedestal. He's not buying what I am trying to sell. sigh... Hugs, sweet MI friend....Diana
What a great idea! I love how you lined it with sheet music too!
So fabulous, love the pedestal. It is the finishing touch to the object.
Very beautiful, Donna! I love how you lined the bowl with music sheets! :)
How darling your pedestal turned out! Very original!
Oh! You deserve to brag about this one because it's really cute!!!
Just love your makeover. Especially as I'm in a blue and white kind of crafting mood too.
Great, so vintage, so lovely:-)
Hugs, Biljana
