Hi everyone!
Just a reminder that the Open House Party is on Spring Break for the
next few weeks. I’ll still be posting and visiting you, so please don’t
go anywhere.
…………………………………………
I had a little bit of spare time to work on some much delayed
projects. Nothing earth shattering, but I am still happy to check these
off my to-do list.
After Christmas I found a wreath holder on clearance and thought
it would make a great stand for my chalkboard. I spray painted the
stand and added picture wire to the tray with hot glue. I plan to use
it for hanging small signs and pictures too.
I found this old frame at a thrift store for a few dollars and painted
it white. Hubby cut a piece of scrap wood to fit inside the frame and I
painted it with chalkboard paint.
Easy Peasy but a great addition to our kitchen.
I am currently working on another project involving two chairs I purchased
off Craigslist. The upholstery was very stained and the finish was a shiny surface
typical of the furniture included in a condo package. If you have ever rented a
condo at the beach with 1980’s furniture you know what I mean.
Even with all their problems I could see hope for these ugly ducklings.
Here is the before picture and I’ll be back soon to show you their
unique transformation.
If you missed my recent post about adding color with pillows
you can read it HERE.
Thanks for visiting!
Have a safe and happy Easter.

Enjoy your break, Sherry! I will be back to your party in a couple weeks. Can I just paint on the glass of an old frame with chalkpaint?
Hi Sherry,
Love your cute chalkboard on the stand, what a clever idea!
I hope that you enjoy your little spring break.
hugs

Great projects and clever. The chairs have nice lines and style. Have a very nice spring break Sherry!
Oh yes. I can see the potential with those chairs too! They are going to clean up nicely. I know you weren't discussing this in your post, but where did you find that glorious bottle drying rack?
I love what you did with the wreath holder…what an elegant touch! The chalk board in your kitchen is a great idea, too.
I can't wait to see what you do with the chair…it really is a lovely style.
Happy Easter, Sherry!
XO,
Jane
The bones of that chair are terrific! Looking forward to your re-do of it.

Isn't chalkboard paint wonderful? I may "steal" your silver tray idea. I can definately see the posibilties in the chairs.
Best,
Susan
Those chairs have gorgeous potential, Sherry! Love your chalkboard ~ great frame. I always forget to go over to the aisle with pictures and frames at Goodwill and Salvation Army never seems to have any.
Hi Sherry, I think you changed your blog header since I last visited. I love it! I also love those sea fans and think one (or two) are in my future. Visiting your lovely etsy shop has really reminded me I need to focus on mine. It is sooooo neglected.
Have a wonderful Easter and thanks for sharing all of your wonderful ideas.
Sherry, love the chalkboards and can't wait to see how you transform those chairs, I know they will look fabulous!!
Love the first chalkboard on the beautiful stand! And can't wait to see what you do with the chairs! They have great lines! 🙂
I can't wait to see what you do with those chairs….I've got a feeling they'll be "frenchy"!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter.
Judy
Enjoy some away time, Sherry. Love your chalboard and I hope you have a wonderful, blessed Easter- xo Diana
Hi Sherry, hope you are enjoying your break! Love the chalkboard! I have one in my kitchen and I love it. My frame is an old window. Can't wait to see the makeover the chairs get!
Hugs,
Jann
I have been wanting to do the same thing with some silver trays I bought for $1..on my to do list!
You have been very busy indeed….love that little chalkboard!!!! Happy easter :o)

The lines of the chairs are so classic and I can't wait to see what you have in mind for their next incarnation! ~ Maureen
Love the chairs, and the chalk boards are just darling. Can never have to many spaces to jot notes down:)
Hey Sherry, The changes look fabulous and love the colors and side bar too. I sold an old match safe that the girl was going to use as a chalk holder for her new framed chalkboard she made like yours. I thought that was a great idea! xo
Have a wonderful Spring Break and look forward to your projects…the chalkboards look great in the kitchen. Love the idea of the wreath stand.
Have a good break…we all need them every now and then.
Love the chalk boards.
Sherry,
Hope you are enjoying your break.Can't wait to see what you do with that chair.
