Key hanger decoupaged with antique Portsmouth map I have found in local antique store - in the making, but taking shape presently. I really love the decoupage technique right now, any simple piece of furniture can look incredible when decoupaged with old postcards, pieces of newspaper, adverts, posters or wallpaper. It's really rewarding seeing how little work can add so much style. Don't get me wrong - I still love painting and distressing furniture, but with the decoupage the effect is constant and it significantly cuts the time spent on making the single piece. As with the painting you always have to wait between applying next layer of paint, where there are always two layers of primer plus two layers of paint on top. And I always try to distress the piece afterwards to add extra 'zing' where with decoupage the 'zing' is already there the moment you glue the first piece. I love it right now :)
