After:
I used some liquid sandpaper on the fruit plaques and then 2 coats of chalkboard paint...then I watched the presidential debate last night and learned a new word: Haha, love that word...will surely be festooning my halls with boughs of holly this holiday season ;)
I'm still working on the gossip bench...need some fabric and then a place to put it...I bet my boys will fight over it and want it in their rooms...we'll see...
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
ttfn,
Bella

What a great project! I love the word!
what a great makeover!
Great project idea Bella. I just watched the debate on the internet. I must of missed the festoon comment. :-)
Can you believe I've never used chalkboard paint? I see I've been missing out! :o) Love your garage sale re-do! Those plaques are festooned with beauty!
How creative - you did a great job festoon-ing! Happy Monday! :)
Hey Bella!
That chalkboard paint is a great idea....what a cute way to reinvent those plaques!
xoxo,
Queenie!
How funny. My mind must of skipped right over the word festooned. Thanks for pointing it out. I must go and festoon my house with Halloween junk. :-)
I love the way you transformed those ho-hum wall decor into lovely chalkboards. I'm a big fan of yardsales too, but since having a baby (already a 2 y/o toddler) I can't find the time anymore. I love reading your blog. Have a great day.
