I've been frequenting some of my favorite thrift stores
looking for treasures to "rehab"...
I've passed up some
things that I wanted to "think" about, only to go back and
find that someone else had snatched it up...
So no more thinking about things, I've learned my lesson!
Here the "after" picture of a recent treasure ...
I wanted to recreate this image from The Graphics Fairy.
Here's the "before" - getting ready to be spray painted
I didn't hesitate on purchasing this...
it wasn't very attractive,
a brown, wood, box...
but I thought it had potential!
I sprayed the top black and then cut out the
words in vinyl on my Cricuit Expression
Sprayed it with Heirloom White
At first, I wasn't pleased with the bubbly texture on top
but after some sanding ~ I'm liking the shabbiness!
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm linking up today to Brag Monday
I love it!!! So cool!
