This weekend I started working on my windows for the French shoppe. I trimmed off the frame so that they can be inserted into thick walls. They are painted a colour called parchment, and will be aged with a grey-brown antiquing medium. I need to get some other windows and doors, which will need the same treatment, so I will probably antique it all at once (last).

I also adjusted a bed I'd previously painted and antiqued. I will make some bedding from lace for this, and add some fake cane (tapestry whatsit - can't think what it's called!) to the circular carved bits. I'm not sure yet whether the bed will stay this way. I may repaint it and add paler antiquing medium. I'll decide when the bedroom is together.
