Apartment John Donovan or J.D. - Furniture in Apartment

John Donovan does not have much
furniture.

In his apartment, there are
2 of these bookcases.
 
 
A brown leather book that I made.
 
The book  opens so that
you can put something in it. 
 
This resin chair looks good in J.D.s apartment.

 

 
Chair is made by Raine.

 
 
Another Raine resin chair.
 
 
J.D.s wooden trunk covered in leather.
 
The trunk opens.

 
J.D. bought this trunk at an antique store.
He does not mind the pink, since it is old.


Oooo a secret compartment!
 
The pink flowers is pretty.

 
This is the bed that I used in his
apartment.
I have 2 of these.
But I have lost the
bedding throughout the years.

J.D. loves furniture like this.

 
J.D. loves this long coffee table.
I do not remember where I got this piece.
 

I love this pencil sharpener.
It is so ornate!
J.D. loves his old-fashioned typewriter!
 
I made these satchel bags back in 1995.

 
 
A chair in J.D.s study.
I covered the chair in a mans tie
that I bought back in 1995.
 
 
Another chair in J.D.s study.
This chair is also covered in a
mans tie.
 
J.D.s fireplace in the living area.
 
J.D.s grandfather clock.
 
A photo of J.D.s ancestor.

J.D.s briefcase and his man bag.
The briefcase is a brass metal.
I made the man bag.
I have had these 2 items since the early 90s.
Do not know where I got the brass metal briefcase from.
 
The briefcase opens up.
A little mirror used to be here.
I did not think that a briefcase
needed a mirror, so I removed it.
I do need to fix this for J.D.
 
 
Inside J.D.s man bag.
I glued on a mirror.
 
It is so old that the glue is starting to
yellow and look yucky.
That is a good thing.
 
This is the desk that I had the 90s.
I never liked this color.
I painted it brown.
 
All 3 of these fabrics were silk men's ties.
Am not sure how old these men's ties were
before I bought them and cut them up.
 
The inside fabric looked good on the backside
of the burgundy print.
 
I tried to co-ordinate all 3 fabrics.
 
The burgundy silk is used like a blanket.

I had to sew 2 sides together to get enough
fabric to make a blanket.
 
But when you turn it over, the seam is hidden.
Thank you for stopping by!

CLOTHES - Pink dress With Jacket And Purse And With A Matching Bed Cover

Found a small lovely blouse just big enough to make
these items out of it.
I glued the items together - first time for everything
right!
Well, yes I figured out really quick that I do not like
glue on clothes!
And I will never do that again, unless it is gluing
on straps.
 
Glue makes the clothes stiff.
 
I did sew the sides of the bed cover.
So, I am happy with this.
There was not even enough of the blouse to make
bed pillows with.
 
It is a sweet set!
 Thanks for stopping by!

Apartment John Donovan or J.D. - Wallpapered and Floored

John Donovan is a writer.
He writes for a  newspaper and is
writing an article about the
French Quarter.
No telling how long he will live
here as he travels far and wide
sometimes.
Lives for his work.

John Donovan is the first tenant
in this apartment.
He likes the open layout. 
But certainly it lacks some amenities.
For instance: a bathroom.

The apartment has been wallpapered with
scrapbook paper.
The chocolate brown is construction paper.
The brick look floors is cloth.

Entrance into the apartment is thru one of these
French doors. 
Well, J.D. asked the landlady to remove the door
knobs so that he could use this space without
the fear of anyone opening his door onto
his table - or whatever was there.
She obliged and took them off.
The door is now permanently locked
until he moves out.
Also work needs to be done with molding
in between them.

 The little sink area and ice box used to be white.
I painted them a grey.
The picture makes them look blue to me.
Kitchen, dining area, seating area are on facing the 
French doors.
What a nice fireplace!

The tall brown rectangle against the wall is where
a mock foyer is for the outside door
that takes you up to the different floors.
No stairs - you must pretend that it is 
just an elevator on the other
side of that wall.

The area is not that bad really.
It is just enough space for a single person.

This area shows where the other door was
being fitted to go in that space.

The tall brown box shape is merely cardboard
painted brown.
It hides the main door that leads up to
the other floors.

The other side shows bedroom area and
whatever area you want it to be.

Here 3 windows are in.
Another needs to be fixed
and then these are finished.

This shows only 2 windows are in.
Almost done.
Thank you for stopping by.
