Before and After Yellow Frame



               BEFORE....






         AFTER.....


I love how this frame turned out.
I bought it at a thrift store for $6. It's very heavy and came with the glass in it.



I brought it home and got busy.
I bought yellow spray paint!
I had not painted anything in yellow (I've mostly painted with turquoise because I LOVE turquoise.)
So, I thought yellow would be a pretty summer color.



A work in process.....






I had two chevron pattern wrapping papers that I bought at HomeGoods (LOVE that store!)
Which one to choose?
I went with the gray.










hello.
It's now a cute dry erase frame.

Owls... before and after

                                                         Much better, huh?

Confession... I used to hate owls. I thought they were really ugly and WAY outdated. Now I love them! Turqouise paints helps a lot though.




       Kinda cute.                                         REALLY cute.





I can't find his before picture. I know it's somewhere on my computer. Just picture a dull metal owl and that's the before. Isn't he cute now?


I love OWLS!


I'll be listing these in my  etsy shop  soon. It's been closed for a long time. I used to sell my jewelry, but jewelry is on the back burner for now. My new favorite thing is PAINT!! And OWLS :O)

Chippy Shelf

I finished something!


Before

After


This is my first really distressed piece. I like the way it turned out.

More pics....




 My new chippy shelf in front of my chippy front door.




Remember this table?




Now it looks like this.
I'll finish putting a light coat of turquoise on top and some spots on the legs and then one more layer of white on the legs (over the turquoise) and a couple of coats on top. Then distress. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
