Chalkboards!

My mom and I have been collecting frames forever meaning to make them into chalkboards and we're finally getting some done.

Here are the first two we have completely done.





So cute right!? The green was hard to get good pictures of because the room was really bright. It's a celery color. They're even cuter in person than the pictures. We have more almost all done-we just need  to get the boards cut out for the chalkboard part. I just want to keep them all for myself.

Update: The blue chalkboard has been listed on our Etsy store for sale. Find it here

Rocking Chair Redo

I found this cute rocking chair that needed some love and I knew I had to help it. Some wood putty, new paint, scuffing, mod podge, a little decal, and some polyurethane and voila!


So here's the poor thing before (disregard my clutter and my cat and the low quality photo)

























                             and here it is after!

Amber and Wood Candle Holder Redo and More Antlers

In a previous post, I showed a before picture of some short wood and  amber glass candle holders. Well they have been painted and scuffed and here are they are finished! We also found a tall pair that have been refinished as well.



There are the before and after photos. The short ones were done in blue and the tall ones were painted a dark orange. I think they turned out pretty cute.



We also did another set of antlers. I LOVE this pair. It's mounted on a dark walnut stained plaque and covered with a pink geometric fabric and some white rope.

Upcoming Projects

My mom and I have been on the hunt for some things to redo. Here's some things we've found so far - I figured I'd post some of the before photos.
Side Table

Plant Stand


Amber Hobnail Candle Holders (We found 2 of these short ones and another set of 2 taller ones)

Brass Horse Head


Found these HUGE antlers on the cheap. We're thinking about mounting them on this tree slice.









I'm so excited to get started on these projects! Hopefully we get them done quickly so I can get the after photos on.
