The Objects. Once the cabinet was finished and moved to its current location in the living room, the fun part really began. Display it's top surface with decorative items!
At first, the frame held one of my fine art still life paintings. But then after setting aside, I cut an archival conservation mat board (from Print File where I purchase most matting materials) creating two windows to insert different-sized illustrations. Tulip print comes from a calendar. Butterfly image is from a book page.
And the large stone statue bust was purchased back in the late 1980s. If memory serves correct, the store was called Archaeology. Sadly, no longer in business.
The small statuette of Venus de Milo is inexpensive and can be found in many storefronts worldwide. I used it for photo mentioned in post here.
Lastly, gotta have seashells and coral in a large bowl!
So there it is for the cabinet display. Eventually, I would like to replace the two figurines with Swedish style objects.
More photos coming in next posts regarding wall display including (before & after) smooth texturing the wall.
