Right Place, Right Time

I recently bough these Pit-a-Pat kitchen chairs to make up a set of four in my Princess 2 (Y Bwthyn Bach):


They were missing the woven straw seat coverings, as you can see here when compared to an all original one:


I was resolved to waiting to find a suitable straw object in a charity shop, until, during a trip to B&Q (a UK DIY store), I spotted a roll of wallpaper that looked like it might be just the ticket:


So I took a little bit of the sample roll and, after a few coats of paint and a bit of dry brushing, I came up with this:


They're not a perfect match but I'm really quite pleased with them. I'll continue to look out for a suitable straw item to make a better job of it but, in the meantime, these will do quite nicely.

Here they are in situ where they're hidden by the table in any case!:


Until next time,
Zoe
