Have you thanked a Veteran today?

I found this cabinet door and decided to turn it into a chalkboard sign for my son's teacher. I painted the center with chalkboard paint, then painted on the red, and finally added a black glaze. I also added sawtooth picture hangers to the back. I hope she loves it! She's a wonderful teacher & role model for my oldest son. She planned the Veterans' Day assembly & it was a wonderful way to honor those that have protected our FREEDOM! Remember, Freedom isn't free! Thank you for all you do Mrs. Tinsley!!!

Armoire make-over

Somehow this got deleted from my blog, so here is the thrift store armoire that I found this summer. It was a real find- heavy, made by drexel with retro lattice doors. I found some really pretty cream colored fabric with turquoise, green, and pink flowers to put behind the doors. I was very pleased with the finished product- what a transformation... another piece just waiting to sparkle!
