Everyone had either bought or sourced nik naks from home and these were arranged on or in the furniture. Pictures and mirrors were created and repaired to hang on walls and rugs covered the floors.
Repairing picture frames
I had brought in several frames from home and bought a few smaller ones from charity shops to use in the set. A couple only needed a correct image in them to be used however two needed repair and two needed painting up.





This picture shows the reattached top with cherub. Once the gaps were filled I used car body filler to smooth over the joins.
The finished effect prior to painting.
I painted the frame with two shades of gold and finally knocked the colour back with a black paint to age it in with the remainder of the frame.


Dressing the Set
Although all the furniture was in place the set looked rather bare. I bought a selection of false flowers and some real greenery and myself, Rhyan Eldon-Davies and Sarah Laker set about arranging displays to go around the room.
