A French Themed Vignette


Bonjour Mes Amis,
Hope you have been enjoying your week!
I first posted this vintage pedestal bowl makeover last summer.  So if you saw it then, I apologize for the repeat!
I am always hunting for pedestal bowls to transform, and I must say this was one of my favorites.


I've just submitted the above photo to Jeanne d'Arc Living facebook page. They are having a photo contest, and the winner will receive a copy of their new Easter book!  So if you haven't yet voted, and you feel so inclined, maybe you could vote for me?  You can vote here.here
Thank you!!!
Anyway, back to my pedestal bowl!  I added this gorgeous label from The Graphics Fairy to the front (love!).
Oh, in my excitement I neglected to mention that I first painted the pedestal bowl my favorite creamy white, then gave it a generous dose of distressing.
I guess you could say one of my "signature looks" is using vintage sheet music in many of my projects.  So I just had to line the inside with some from my collection!
She ended up being bought by a customer in Australia!
So funny to think of my little decoupaged bowl finding a new home clear around the world!
Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Dear Donna, your bowl is charming and I love all the little details, the distressing, the French label, and of course the sheet music lining. That is what makes your work so lovely . . . the care you take in the details. I love that someone in Australia is now enjoying it. Our world is getting smaller and smaller.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

  7. Donna: Gorgeous piece! I sell a lot to Australia, too; funny, isn't it?
    I absolutely love the vintage sheet music inside. Can I ask whether you use Mod Podge or gel medium?

  10. I am also fond of music sheets. I don't know why but it's so nice to use for decorations. It's so great that you can buy and sell all over the world thanks to the internet. Your buyer bought a nice piece of work from you. Have a good sunday, Pascale
