Tiles and sofa

The tiles have been painted with a matt varnish, coloured with 6 different colours and varnished again. Only the grouting to do now!

It was very thrilling painting the tiles, I was so afraid to ruin all the previous work! But I think it turned out good.

The sofa is also finished! I stained it with a little antique brown paint to make it a little worn.

Pff, now I'm going to sit down and read a nice book!

a little tired of tiles

Wow, what have I got myself into?? In the last week I've made 557 clay tiles by hand and 66 of them were with a special pattern, pfhew!!

These 2 pictures started the adventure. It's my dream kitchen I found in a magazine a while ago.

I just love the materials and the feel.



After a lot of mathematics I could start with my new pastamachine!!


First rolling the clay, through the machine, on the template and a lot of slicing...



But it's worth it. I still have a lot of work to do (finish sticking the tiles, sanding, grouting and colouring) but at least I can see some progress now.



I also found a very nice blouse in our local charity shop and it was perfect for the sofa I had in mind. This is the sofa so far :

It's the Karlstad sofa from Ikea in 1:12. Just love Ikea, I even worked there for a while on the sofa-department lol!

see you next time!
