Another Drab to Fab Makeover!

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a great Christmas!  It's hard to believe that it's over with already.  I don't know about you, but I'm so not looking forward to taking down decorations!  It's just not nearly as fun as putting them out!!

Now that Christmas is over, I finally had some time to work on a drab to fab makeover.  It felt so good to play again in my craft room!

Here is a sneak peek of the "after"!

And here is the "before"!  I found this wood framed chalkboard several weeks ago, in dire need of some love!  I knew right away that light pink would be the perfect color for this beauty in the making!

 So, I pulled out my "chalky finish" paints by DecoArt, and found just the right shade of pink that I was looking for!

I really love the beautiful carved floral and leaf design on the frame, which was hidden in that dark brown finish.

 So much better now, I think!  I also really love the sweet little built in ledge, perfect for an eraser and chalk!

 I gave it a generous dose of distressing, then followed with a poly sealer, also by DecoArt.

 Oh, and I recovered the old chalkboard with chalkboard vinyl, for a nice clean and fresh look.

 I've placed this cutie in my Etsy shop, if you care to take a look!

 Have a great weekend!
