What better way to start off a long weekend than with inky fingers and inspiration overflowing? Thanks to Sabrina (Cook22) for the Ways to Use it Marbled Books and to Brenda (Benzi) Inspiration Challenge: Ballard Designs. After pursuing the Ballard website, I knew I just HAD to do a room. And if money were no object, I'd have this CHAIR. Alas, my home is filled with uber cool chairs gathered together through the years from yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales, mid-century modern shops, antique stores...but not one of them brand new. And I love it that way!
I used the Flonz stamp set called Vintage Sixties Lounge. These are only two of choices in the set. The rug (RubberMoon) was made longer by piecing in the icenter. I used a '60's style embossing folder to give it some texture.
I built my library out of the Basic Grey 'Oxford' book paper. Along the top is my collection of miniature books from Running Press. I have over 85 now that were either given to me or found at yard sales or thrifts. I figure if I ever downsize to a tiny house, I'll have my library already established. I loved Sabrina's challenge Library, Books, or Marbled Paper.
And the star of my room is my Real Lucille Ball postage stamp, a gift from Jean Jkanack. What a beautiful photograph. She's framed with a carrot top colored frame. The Purple Onion Postmark Stamp set let me add the date to it.
Please come join me in my library. Try out the chairs...I'm certain you'll find one to suit. I'll put the kettle on or pop some tops...thanks for stopping by.
Editing to add, I forgot to mention the I Love Lucy stamp hidden on the wall...it is an unmarked mounted stamp.
