Sirena the dressform with some furniture

Meet Sirena...

She's decided to link up to

Polka Dot's Dress Form Linky Party!

Sirena does not have time for baking Valentine cookies

but she has put on her best

Valentine apron and pearls especially

for this party!

Since the big sewing machine in my Antique Emporium

room sold I have more space for small

furniture wares.

Sirena and I took a drive to my local craft store

for some Gray Gesso. I have

to say that I really like working

with it!

A Pier 1 shelf that's been

hanging around here gets a makeover.

Paint away Sirena!!!

She used Gray Gesso that Rosemary from Villabarnes

always talks about. Two coats of gray

was applied, lightly sanded then some ASCW was used!

Good job Sirena!!

I've been really lucky in finding vintage mirrors lately!

Sirena gave this mirror a good cleaning

with Murphy's Oil soap first..

then used the gray gesso and

some ASCP old white to soften

the gray color.

Muy bien Sirena!!!

Sorry I don't have a before picture

of the wooden frame but it too

turned out real pretty!

Love that ASCP!!!

Not only does Sirena work outdoors

but she's pretty crafty indoors too!

Denise from The Rusty Gate shared

a paint sample when she was last here...

so Sirena and I drove over to Lowe's

to have them match the color!

While Sirena was painting she got

a loose screw and wanted to drop everything

and head off to the beach!

No, no Sirena...we must finish

what we started!!

Sirena did a fine job don't ya think?

Have a great weekend!!

(whewwww...the staging part can be a real pain..hahaha)
