Labor Day Weekend was EXACTLY THAT in our household. There hasn't been a moments rest for us in days! It was the first weekend in quite some time that we didn’t have any major plans and I had lots on my todo list. Luckily The Husband was willing to help!
Cruz helped too!
Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with chalkboards. We are in the process of redecorating our 12 year olds bedroom and we decided to give him a chalkboard wall. Since then I have been slapping chalkboard paint on anything and everything I can get my hands on!
{Disclamer: Sorry for the lousy pictures...not much natural light in our hallway at 10 PM!}
I love the original patina on this screen door. I've been trying to talk myself out of
keeping it since the moment I brought it home.
I found this window about 5 years ago and loved the odd shade of
green, but never could decide what I wanted to do with it.
Problem solved with a little chalkboard paint and some vinyl.
I forgot to take a before of this guy, but he was a disgusting shade of brown. I gave him a good sanding and added a sloppy coat paint in a robin's egg blue, topped that with a sloppy coat of white, and added some distressing to keep the vintage feel.
I had originally planned to keep the glass in the window to use as my chalkboard surface since it is so smooth.....but the wind had other plans, so I ended up using a piece of mdf.
My bestie's neighbor posted this picture for sale on her facebook and I immediately scooped
it up. I had NO IDEA it was so big. It was quite the chore trying to stuff it in my tiny backseat.
I painted it a vintage pink and gave it a dark glaze to bring out the details in the frame.
I think it would be perfect in a little girl's room.
All of these items are currently up for grabs! Contact me here or on
the Simply Millie facebook page to purchase!
Hope your 3 day weekend was more relaxing than mine!
