Thriftin’ Time Tuesday

 

P1080588

Some befores and afters……

P1080646 (800x600)

Another mini chalkboard.  This is about a 9 x 10, on the outside.

  v 007 (1024x966)

These are drawer pull bases and would make great labels for boxes.  You could use metal stamps on them or print your own clear labels.  I sprayed them in burnished silver….and leaving the fun for someone else…a few unfinished.

P1080527 (800x482)

 

P1080653

This shabby frame became a focal point for some very old upholstery strapping and an antique drawer pull.

P1080689

This old provincial frame became this…..

P1080835

Yes, I am addicted to chalkboards! (Sure wish white would photograph better).

P1080695

And these into these….il_570xN_216097082And off they all went to my etsy shop….with more to follow!

    Those little chalkboards are wonderful ideas for writing little love notes etc...maybe be cute to have a string with a piece of chalk somehow attached...

    Oooh, so nice. Your chalkboards are so cute, I really like the little sizes and what you did with the frames. The drawer pull and upholstery strapping frame is amazing!
