My creative juices haven't been flowing much in the last little while. Sure, I've been cooking, posting some delicious recipes but I was in the mood, in the mood to get my hands a little dirty and dig through my stash of 'stuff' and create.
I had this project in mind and I wanted to make it a chalk board.
I've used the brush on chalk board paint but thought this time I would try the spray on chalk board. Holy Macaroni - I'm in love with this stuff! I found these 2 small pine boxes at the thrift shore, they were calling out for some lovin' & I was 100% inspired so I scooped these right up!
Chalk is everywhere these days and I'm really diggin' the look but for this is wanted something a littler more permanent.
Nothing super exciting, just another item painted and distressed.
This one just wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be....ever have those days? Say 'hi' to the sisters, the 'twins' I called them.
These girls were is need of a magical makeover. Their seats were flat, the fabric was -ummmm GROSS, dirty, smelly, yucky! I wanted to make them pretty again, they did have pretty lines. The Dragon Dresser. I call it Dragon because I used Van Gogh Chalk paint in the colour Dragon Gray. You know how some days are good, some days are better and some days are just a little rough. This was one of "THOSE" days. This is how it started - see the bug. I guess I could have photoshopped it out but hey.... this is real life.
I have seen different versions of this floating around Pinterest, mostly using pictire frames. I was at the ReStore the other day and I spied these exactly as you see it in the 'before picture, $1.00 how could I go wrong?
