A few weeks ago I had the joy of spending a Saturday
morning going to some garage sales with my sister in-law. I saw a beautiful frame
that with a little paint would have all the details I love, but I passed it by
thinking as to when I would have time to work on another project. My sister
in-law mentioned it and encouraged me to buy it, she knew there was a perfect
project there. This week I went to make it into a chalk board to hang above my
master bed, though I searched high and low my chalk board paint was no-where to
be found! I have my suspicions that Roger saw a beat up can of black paint and “took
care of my garbage”! Well I was in the mood for change and so I revamped my
ideas and made a ‘places we’ve been together’ art. I gave the frame a fresh
spray of white paint. I have had the map for years and cannot remember where I
bought it, most likely I got it at a garage sale. I glued the hearts on twine
and strung it across the frame. I like it, Roger loves it. I can still see myself making it into a chalk
board but for now it updates our room and adds a splash of uniqueness to our
master room.
Cost was in the all-time lows
Frame $1.00
Half can of white spray paint $1.50
Map (I cannot remember the price so let me say ) $5.00
Twine $.50 cents
Eight bucks was well worth the fun!
