Chalkboards and a Pretty Planter

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,
