I really can't take much credit for this one! Hubby spotted it at a FAB estate sale!<br />
<br />
You know, the kind where everything is in the front yard, in boxes, stacked and stacked? It's all a little dusty, maybe even junky, but GOOD JUNKY! Nothing has a price on it, so you start piling stuff up by the "cashier" and negotiate when you're finished rummaging.<br />
<br />
I found 3 blue mason jars, one with the zinc lid, a milk glass vase, and some UNREAL vintage daisy curtains. Hubby found this!<br />
<br />
It was painted THICK, CRUSTY, off-white paint. Even the hardware! Nothing was broken or missing, but it was a little wobbly. So, we made our offer to the "cashier" and brought it home.<br />
<br />
Hubby reinforced the back a little by adding a few new boards to the existing ones. Then, he sanded, stripped the hardware, primed, and painted this beauty! I WILL take credit for the paint color. I originally wanted a green, but couldn't find one I liked, so it ended up this rich beautiful aqua. <br />
<br />
We know it's about 100 years old because of the square-headed nails we found holding in a piece of screen under the bottom drawer. Why? I don't know.

I have amassed a HUGE collection of gorgeous, HUGE vintage frames with no glass. So, what's a girl to do?<br />
<br />
Make chalkboards, of course!<br />
<br />
The supplies have been purchased, Dad's jigsaw has been borrowed, can you guess what I'm doing this weekend?<br />
<br />
If you are in need of a unique chalkboard, please <a href="mailto:studio1404@gmail.com">contact</a> me. A few layers of magnetic paint are applied before the chalkboard paint, so you will be able to post photos, invites, and special items on your board.<br />
<br />
These are perfect for weddings, graduation or anniversary parties, and of course, everyday memos!<br />
<br />
See that {gorgeous} gold chair in the background? That's my next project!!!mamamandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00685937410329719051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8177828211316075155.post-15559417986585068062010-07-20T16:56:00.000-07:002010-07-20T16:57:38.389-07:00My New Love!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisX6a8aVegesdpmMfNDi4H6Yi4RmfKhhg0zhr2F1I4t3nLwXsTHbLyRfIuErscdJGJc130IsreIYY70-B1rdwhnLKauQav5rzziuoRf142VkT_qdvxd3lhoGTkawXB2d9F3_rnnLyYJFVf/s1600/CIMG0663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisX6a8aVegesdpmMfNDi4H6Yi4RmfKhhg0zhr2F1I4t3nLwXsTHbLyRfIuErscdJGJc130IsreIYY70-B1rdwhnLKauQav5rzziuoRf142VkT_qdvxd3lhoGTkawXB2d9F3_rnnLyYJFVf/s400/CIMG0663.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I found this stunning 20" porthole mirror in a local thrift store. It was in fabulous condition, except for the peeling gold painted resin. So, I primed it and painted it a beautiful aqua!
