I am sorry to keep you hanging ... but I just want it to feel "done" before I finally post the whole reveal.
It will be soon, I promise.
In fact, I guarantee I will post it within a week.
I think it will be worth the wait .... at least I sure hope you think so!
Meanwhile, I'm going to show you another mini project from the Mom Cave.
And here it is!
But here's the thing.....
It started like THIS:
| Hi, Stella! (aka: best doggy in the world!) |
Spray paint, of course. :-)
And then, I painted three coats of Rust-oleum's chalkboard paint over the mirror.
(*Note: Make sure you wait a LONG time between coats - like 8+ hours. Trust me, I learned this the hard way! Oops!:)~
| No, I'm not crazy -- just bein' goofy! |
But in the end, I got it all fixed up and pretty!
Added one of my favorite Pinterest quotes with my beloved chalk ink marker, and called it GOOD!
Then I took an old frame, put a nail in it and hung this baby in my Mom Cave! (aka: my new craft room that I'm going to show you in a week or less!)
Whadya think?
I love it. It adds a bold contrast of color with my desk and command center, and it is really helping to pull everything in the room together.
Just you wait and see! ;)~










This is so cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Bec!! Yeah, I've been experimenting with magnetic paint and chalkboard paint and it's kinda frustrating sometimes!! I think maybe you have the trick!! I'll try to wait more time in between coats... :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, Bec! You never cease to amaze me. When do you find the time to create all of this great stuff? Yet another picture I need to save for future reference. :) Keep them coming. I LOVE these mom cave posts!
