Thinking outside the white box

Seems like lately all I've done is paint things white...till

I found these two ugly lovely pictures at my favorite thrift store for .99/each



i loved the ornate frames
so when it came time to re-purpose these...


i reached for the white spray can...
and then
decided to think outside the white box...
and go with Cherry Red!



White is my go-to-color
however, I thought these would look
great at Thanksgiving, Christmas and even 4th of July
if they were red.


I painted over the original beautiful floral picture
with chalkboard paint...

and used my Cricut to cut out the Give Thanks...
 because my handwriting is atrocious

they are chalk ready for someone else to write on!


I'm a little bit done with all the Halloween decorations


 I'm ready for Thanksgiving to be here


and Christmas will be here before we know it!
 

I am thinking of a white Christmas tree this year...
that's out-of-box thinking...right!
