Recreated Treasures

 Welcome to Pink  Saturday! 

This week’s pink I’m sharing is a bit of a mix. This first photo shows a display of some of my recreated decor items. They’re not all pink but they go nicely together. The sheer backdrop is actually a tabletopper. I simply added a plum pink, leaf & swirl edging design, highlighted with dots of gold. The pink compote/basket has a tassel sitting inside – it’s a beaded one with pink hand dyed fringe on the outer.

 

A closer look of the pink compote/basket can be seen in the next two photos.

This was once a rather sad looking piece of silverware … minus the most of the silver. Now there’s not a bit of silver in sight – only pink, pale green, and gold highlights lightly brushed around the edge and handle.

The next item was also an old piece of silverware in desperate need of a makeover. The roses you can see on the plate of the compote have been decoupaged onto a motley background of pink, green and pale yellow.

I rather like the idea of filling the compote with delicious chocolates……. then eating them all with the excuse that you need to see the roses 😉

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s pink!

There are many wonderful entries for Pink Saturday which is hosted by Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Take time to visit participants’ blogs and see how Pink  everyone’s Saturdays can be.

Happy Pink Saturday!

  2. Happy PS, Elena! I’m so happy to share an interest in reviving tinware. Your pieces are lovely. The shade of pink is very pleasing. I’m with you, lots and lots of chocolates are the perfect compliment!

  3. Hi Elena! Happy Pink Saturday! You do such lovely work. I love the way you take something and transform it with paint. Truly, I would have no idea that those items were silver – you are really talented! I love seeing what you do.
