Whimsical Additions,  Whimsies

Sneak Peeks

Today I’m sharing some photos of future projects that I plan to complete and share in the upcoming months. Some are small and some are bigger, but all will make Ticklepenny Cottage more whimsical. Enjoy!

This beautiful swan bust will grace the wall above the doorway in my turret, with an antique french mirror frame around her. There might even be a few feathers drifting down the wall below her.

Swan and Frame

These gorgeous fish scale tiles will be part of my mermaid themed bathroom. It will have sea green walls, floor tiles the color of driftwood, a painted vanity, and a really special ceiling.

Bathroom Tiles

This is a work in progress photo of the ceiling medallion for my great room. Wait until you see the amazing chandelier that will be hanging from it!

Chandelier Medallion

This amazing moon will be blowing stars across the night sky (my bedroom ceiling) but he needs a little spruce up with metallic paint so he’ll show up against the black background.

Rusty Moon and Stars

These mouldings made out of caulk will be cut up, rearranged, and glued back together before being painted and added to the bedroom walls for additional embellishment.

Mouldings

This pirate ship chandelier will also get a metallic update so it shows up against that black ceiling. And I might add a few stars and crystals to it too, because, why not?

I am so excited to share the incredible carved mantle that I found and am updating with chalk paint. I’m adding a large mirror frame above it that will match, and I’m decorating it with mouldings similar to the mantle itself. It was part of a four piece set of carved furniture that I was lucky enough to find. They will all be painted and added to my house in various ways.

Carved Mantle

This little ledge will sit under the round top window in my turret. It will match the walls, so it won’t stand out too much. The round top door will get something similar.

Window Ledge

I have so many fun projects coming up, I can’t wait to share them all!

Hi, I'm Fiona! I love upcycling and creating beautiful, useful items from castoffs. I enjoy travel, sewing (I sell costume hats on Etsy), painting furniture, and spending time with my family and my pugoodle Agatha. I live on a beautiful vineyard in Oregon. Ticklepenny Cottage is my own little fairy tale come true. Thanks for joining me on my journey to make it a reality!
