i had to pluck my courage up. you don't wanna know how good a briber i am. but if it means getting things done, i'm all for it. now, the morning started with stalling, until i shook myself back into consciousness. i started my sis-in-law's steammachine, waited for it to gurgle, and off i went. and can i say? i had such fun, because
all sorts came outta woodwork! all dusted and done i can offer you this,
pretty quick my windows got all steamed up!
do you remember the butterfly prints from when we were all in primary school, kindergarten even?
i pulled at wall paper and this vintage colour came off, double sided... such a treat!
would you look at the hasard of this? two hearts together? this must be a sign! bord&butik will agree... ☻
on this one i need your imagination... do you remember whistler's mother? if not by bean, then perhaps from its original? i lay flat on my stomach to shoot this one. squint through your 'lashes, try and find her, she's there (with alot of imagination i agree, but if you see what i mean, i was reminded of a lady in white, sitting patiently waiting on a stool, probably for me to finish)!
WooHoo,,,you did find treasures, my f ~i~ r ~end! I love that wall paper. Wish I had been there...I love to do work like that! Those hearts are amazingly a sign!
ReplyDeleteSteam on Momma!

ReplyDeleteI always had and still do a fascination for wallpaper.
Great finds really, and I love how you are twisting and turning up such treasures...

WOW!!! thank goodness you persisted otherwise these treasures would have remained hidden.
ReplyDeleteLovely wallpapers showing so much history...better thsn we get here. At first i thought they were lino, the paper is so thick! Can they be made into artworks?
ReplyDeletelayers of wall papers tell about lives, years passing by. they make me nostalgic...
ReplyDeleteNow, it's done. "Renov" is an art! I love your photos! (and the words...).
ReplyDeleteYour so Sweet...I have been sick for a few days and my heart skipped a beat with your hearts and there you are working so hard we could have made quite a party out of steaming!
