I love old picture frames...
...and I found these oldies but goodies last week. Right away I knew they would be perfect for mini chalkboards!
I totally forgot to take before photos - sorry!
I painted them with Annie Sloan chalk paint in Louis Blue and then I washed over them with a pretty antiquing gel.
I love how they turned out!
I thought they'd be so pretty on a desktop. You know, instead of unruly pieces of sticky notes everywhere. That's what I use mine for and it really dresses up the desk quite a bit.
I write little notes and reminders on it.
They'd be cute as wedding table decor too!
or a sweet little Valentine note!
I also got this cool old Syroco planter/wall pocket.
Is it just me or does anyone else love that old Syroco decor?
I'm not always crazy about the original color of it though, so I painted this one.
It got the same treatment as the chalkboard picture frames.
as well as a wee bit of distressing.
Pretty cool huh?
These are all available for sale right now in my Etsy!!
Have a great day everyone!!
xo and God Bless,
Kathleen
Your mini chalkboards are perfect! Yes, I like old Syroco pieces also...not so easy to find anymore. I like how you updated it with paint and glaze...very nice!
