Shabbylicious!

Don't you just love that word?!  

I sure do!  (it is a real word, right????)

At any rate, I thought I'd share some of my latest, well, shabby + delicious projects with you!

I was thrilled when my thrifting friend picked me up Blue Boy and Pinkie, in beautiful vintage Italian Syroco like frames.  Originally gaudy gold, I just had to paint them my favorite creamy white color.

 I just love the ornate details, and the scalloped inner border.

 Love!

 Actually I've got to give credit to hubby for finding this vintage Syroco shelf. It, and the matching mirror (I'll show you that transformation in a future post) was way up high in a dark and very dusty corner of a shop we visited while in Northern Michigan.

 Again, it went from gaudy to glam with heirloom white paint and just the right amount of distressing.  I just sold her in my Etsy shop (yeah!).  I really do need to find one for myself to keep one of these days!)

 It's so fun to hunt for pretty and unique picture frames, that I can unite with paint.  I really am happy with how my latest set came out.

 Both vintage and newer, the frames are full of shabby charm, I think!  The one below is my favorite!  I've placed a sheet of vintage sheet music inside, just for fun!

 This sweet oval vintage metal frame is even prettier in person!

 Lots of wonderful details.

 And this vintage Burwood frame is so much happier after her makeover!  She was an awful black and gold before I transformed her.  Love all of the ornate swirls and stylized fleur de lis!

 As you know, I love making chalkboards from found frames, so I was thrilled to find this beautiful vintage frame recently.  Similar to Syroco, it began life a very boring brown.  I'm always amazed at what a difference paint can make, as all of the gorgeous details really weren't even that noticeable til I painted her!

Hubby cut a piece of masonite to fit, which I covered in chalkboard vinyl.   I've never seen a frame just like this before.  I'm so happy with how she turned out! 

I've placed all of these in my Etsy shop, if you'd like to take a peek!

Have a great weekend!
