Thriftin’ Time Tuesday

Some befores and afters……

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.

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