Thrift store rehabbing

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!
