The first one is actually something my wonderful husband did for me. My parents remodeled their kitchen/living room last fall and in the process removed their fireplace and mantel. I had been wanting an old structure to use as a headboard for several years, so I jumped at the opportunity. So Brad stripped down the mantel (which was a very dark stain) and painted it with this off-white paint. I love it now! So pretty. And free, except for the cost of paint which I got a gallon on clearance for $5 because they had mixed it wrong. Yay!
I also finally got my chalkboard finished. I found a painting in an ugly old gold frame at our local thrift store for $3 last fall. I painted over the painting with several layers of chalkboard paint and painted the frame an off-white color. Now I have the perfect place to display Scripture and inspirational quotes.
I got the rub-on Scriptures last year for my birthday. I got four of them; I hung two of them up earlier this week. I love having these wonderful reminders displayed around our home...
Well, it's a beautiful day here! Sun's out and the sky is a wonderful clear blue! We're having some friends over for dinner tonight. Looking forward to that! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
