The hostess liked the idea of using decorative polyurethane rosettes instead of ordinary photo frames. Their illumination was provided by an old sconce. To make it in harmony with the surrounding objects, its framing was also made from a socket.
For the work, they used a decorative metal rail, glass pendants (IKEA), white paint for metal, white mastic for decorative work, white and silver acrylic paints, a paper knife, fine-grained sandpaper.
