Adding Appliques

 

 

I just love adding appliques to furniture so much. It can turn a very simple piece of furniture into something so ornate and beautiful. Just look how good this mirror turned out.

 

 

I could not find my actual picture of the before mirror, but luckily I found an very exact match of what the mirror looked like before on google image. I bougth this mirror at my local Goodwill, with intents to give it a gorgeous new makeover.

 

 

Last night right after I got the applique up and I was making sure it was taped on straight the power goes out! Luckily it turned out it was straight. I used Gorilla wood glue, I usually use Elmer's wood glue, the Gorilla seemed more runny than Elmer's so I think I'll go back to Elmer's.

I purchased this applique from my favorite applique site www.DoItYourSelfChic.com .

It is very simple you just use wood glue to attach the applique to your furniture, & paint it the same color as the furniture, it makes a drastic change.

 

 You have probably seen this mirror in photo's of my guestroom in the past. Before it was just painted white, the applique gave it the perfect amount of detail that it needed.

My new IPhone 5 has this panorama photo setting that is petty cool to get  picture of an entire room

 

 

Please Pray for Louie

My sweet little Louie has been losing weight, & we do not know why. He has gotten very skinny. I had him tested for Feline Leukemia which thank goodness the test was negative. The vet thought he  had worms, I wormed him a couple weeks ago,  well I tried he was very stubborn about taking the wormer, so I don't know how much he actually got. Yet he has still been losing weight. I again wormed him today and this time was successful in getting him to swallow the entire tablet, & I bought him  KMR kitten formula, high calorie wet food & Kitten Nutri-Cal in hopes I can get him to gain weight. Louie used to be the largest kitten of the litter, for the first couple month of their lives, he is probably 2lbs or more less now then his sister Lulu who was always the runt. I am very worried about my little Louie.
