Shabby Chic Shop

So my little gift kiosk, as much as I liked it, lasted about a day before I deconstructed it and started on phase two of my plan.

You see we don't have a lot of room at home to store things, and certainly not to display things, besides which,  miniatures aren't really Mr Gypsy's taste. So my plan is to use the kit my lovely mum bought me for three separate projects, starting with a crisp, contemporary vibe and transitioning through a tastefully-distressed shabby chic stage, to a final, thoroughly filthy and decayed look.  As well as the space issue, because we relocate a lot and we try not to accumulate too much 'stuff' I figure this is a good way to keep my craft shipping to a bare minimum (ha - as if!).


I made a template of the floor plan and tried some different papers to create a floor for the shop.


Cute blue linoleum...



But actually, I preferred the brown floor in the end.  I added some smudges and dirty patches to make it look more worn.
