I used photos of some better quality mini furniture for inspiration. They had a lot of carving and I don't carve. So I embossed some metal sheeting instead to give the effect of carved wood.
I added pieces to trim the arms of the throne and then painted everything dark brown. I added some antiquing gel to give a woodgrained effect.
The armoire got Tudor style feet and new skirting. I think both pieces turned out pretty well - especially since I was only using materials I had on hand.

I like the idea of embossing. Your cabinet and chair look great!
That is a lovely idea! They turned out very rich looking. I love them!
Thank you, ladies! Sometimes you just have to improvise to get the look you want. That's why mini making is so fun. :)
De this is fabulous!
I've been perusing your blog and I have to say, you are one of the busiest ladies I know! :)
I'm so looking forward to the castle coming together!
Thank you, Dale and Brandy! I'm having fun - now to find that castle...
Great idea, De! Very clever, as usual!
Thanks, Gaye!
