Throne room Pictures

20 years ago

We have a small 1/2 bath that I'm transforming into a 'throne room' for my royal guests..

This lightfixture is made from a very old chair back, the rest of the chair is hanging in another room. I took apart a junk light and used the parts to make this one. It's wired right to the wall where the old light fixture was.

{{!gwi}}
and here's the 'royal tp presenter'...made from an old knewl post..

{{!gwi}}
And since I had these neat pieces of bed frame, I put them here along with the Family Coat of Arms (lol)

{{!gwi}}
I'm looking for ideas on how to make a royal magazine rack..also wondering...has anyone painted a toilet, I'd like to do this one 'pure gold' but don't know what paint to use..

Smiles!

There's a kit at Lowe's for painting a bathtub, but I don't know about a toilet. Bathtubs are usually porcelain coated cast iron (old) or steel (newer) and toilets are ceramic porcelain.

Why not just use a gold toilet seat, either paint a composition wood one gold or buy a gold plastic -- I bet they make 'em.

I see an opportunity for mosaic work, here.

We have watched it from the beginning. Normally I am not into that kind of story line/genre, but as I've stuck with it and learned the characters, I really enjoy it. Neither of us has read the books. Tyrion definitely our favorite character, though we like Danerys and Aryra too. Love to hate Cersei and Joffrey. What I like about it is you never know what is coming next. No character is safe. Yes, it can be gory, but that's what it was. I do think they probably have women with more responsibility than what they would have really had at that time. Enjoy seeing women with "real" bodies, though they are mostly European and have a different look and attitude than what an American would have. If any of you are fans of Ben Mankiewicz from Turner Classic Movies, he does reviews of the show literally right after they play on a Show called "What the Flick." Of course, you can always watch them later. The panel discussion is helpful for those of us who have not read the books. We learned a lot by watching these. Ded, one other thing I learned is each episode opening shows the fictional locations where that episode is set. I'd love to do the actual tours of the real set locations. Here is a link that might be useful: What the Flick on Youtube

The CL 'throne chair' is done!

jea2007, are you referring to the first chair in this post, (the throne chair) or the one with the cane 'hood'? The throne chair is an antique Eastlake style, and the other with the cane is called a 'balloon or porter's' chair. I do strip them down to the frame. You are correct in your thought that you replace the worn stuff, foam, batting and all, and then cover with fabric and attach the trim. You can use the pieces of fabric you remove as patterns for the new pieces. Actually hot glue is commonly used to attach trim on upholstered items. I haven't used it to attach the fabric though. What I did to get started was to just Google 'upholstering', and read blogs and watch YouTube videos. There are hundreds of them out there. There may also be books in your local library. If you don't sew or do crafty things with staple guns, you may want to do some reading or video watching before you buy your fabric and other supplies. Good luck! It's hard on your hands and arms, but very gratifying.

I think the colors currently on the walls work fine. I might suggest however that you remove all the small understated wall and sparsely spaced pieces replacing larger more intentional ones for impact. If you opt to keep the art and pictures on the walls they need to come down to eye level height. Rather than painting entire walls you could paint the transitional walls like a bridge (the one by the stairs and the one by the front door). You could go with a latte, coral, grey, or gold. Good luck.

On the other hand, if you would like to fix your lawn so that dogs can pee on it without burning the grass, try this. For the existing marks, drop a heaping handful of table sugar on the spot and give it a little drink of water. In the future, fertilize with organic fertilizer, always, or at least once a year to keep your soil's microbiome healthy. The problem is the soil does not have sufficient population of bacteria to process the direct application of urine. Sugar fixes that in the short term, and organic fertilizer fixed it for the long term.

OMG! I love it! I collect castle things, and this room is right up my alley. You've done a wonderful job! On the magazine rack, I'm thinking about the black iron wood holders. You know, the ones you put by the fire place? I've seen some neat ones and maybe you could somehow weld some ornamental details to it? On second thought, that might be kind of big for a bathroom. I'll have to think some more on this one.

A few swords hung vertically could hold some magazines. Also fire place tools but it looks as if you haven't much room left on the walls.
I'm sure you would make the lid of the toilet pretty too.

Your royal throne room is really awsome! I love it! For the "golden Throne" I like the idea of painting a wooden seat assembly or you could get the faux gold leaf and do it in gold leaf.

Wow! You have some wonderful pieces! I love the light fixture made from the old chair back! How clever! I think mosaic would be really cool on the toilet, as long as you still can do it where you can flush it and remove the top of the tank if needed. It would be neat with little pieces of mirror and also some amber glass to give it a real rich royal look. Target used to have princess things. They were in pastels, but could be repainted. I think they had a waste basket that was a crown. It could be painted a deep antique gold and look really neat. I don't know if they still have them or not (as the mom of three little boys, I don't exactly go "princess" shopping much! LOL!). Beautiful so far!

Here is another thought. How about covering the throne with red velvet and trimming it out with gold tassles around the seat and around the top of the tank . You could adhere it with spray affixative.

I'm so tickled with your ideas and support, I get some eyerolls round here with my 'royal' ideas...I have to be careful cuz the King and Prince use this room and we don't want to upset the scullery maid (she's mean!) You've inspired me, I'm thinkin royal purple bathset with pearls, jewels, tassles, gold trim, ERMINE (I forgot about that stuff!)..and painting the seat solid gold (if it makest shiney hinenesses, I can replace it). Thanks, I'm inspired to work on this room...hmm, swords...

I wonder if the patio paints would work on the toilet? Very nice job, very fun room thus far...

Well, I went hunting gold toilet seats and found this...

>> The National Enquirer says that according to published reports, Ben Affleck has purchased fiance Jennifer Lopez e a jewel-encrusted toilet seat. "Jennifer is my princess and she deserves only the best - even when it comes to toilets," Affleck reportedly told a pal. The $105,000 toilet is adorned with rubies, sapphires, pearls and a diamond and was designed by Affleck himself. The report adds that the stones are set inside the plastic, so Jennifer's behind won't get scratched. I did find a gold chrome seat for a little over $200. LOL!

Interesting how they all seem to be in England. hmmmm...

ICA,
Sophie ^i^
