After H worked his magic on it, the screen was in like new condition! Then came the question.....should I paint it white? H really likes the brass finish, so we have decided to "live with it" a while before we decide. |
 |
I knew that I wanted to add some shabby chic touches to it and I started by running a rag strip around the top and adding a bow at the base. |
 |
Then I hung some crystals and added some candle light to make them shine. |
 |
Here is a photo before I added the candle light...... |

See my little wicker house in the right bottom corner of the photo? I have been working on it today and can't wait to show you the before and after! Please visit my side bar to see "Where I Party" and stop by and visit a few of these great blogs! |
Very pretty, amazing what a scrap of material can do.

Looks great, my friend!!

Penny, That is a really nice brass fire place screen. I love the shape. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteThe screen is perfect for you Penny. Shows off your Victorian flare. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd have been tempted to paint it white too, but if you did then it might looked washed out with the white behind and around it. What a steal for $5! Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity
ReplyDeleteWow, that is gorgeous. I agree it looks best white with the ribbon on it. Love your Victorian style.
ReplyDeleteI would keep it in it's brass state. It's a relief from all the white you have going on there. What a great score you made with it! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteFive dollars?! Oh man, what a score! I love how you styled it with the extras. It looks just amazing in your fireplace tableau.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great buy! Thank you for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute fireplace screen, Penny! I like how you shabbied it up too with the rag strip. I like the brass as well. Five dollars is a bargain. Thanks for sharing with us and have a lovely week.
