I love to stage my finds with the lake as a background...
I found the frame at a local yard sale. "What are you going to do with that?" my friend shouts! "Oh, never mind I have an idea", I answer!! Friend sometimes has problems seeing beyond the horizon, if ya know what I mean!! The frame did look pretty bad. But I just knew it would paint out to look good. And I convinced my friend to cut a board, paint it with chalkboard paint, tack the board in place and voila, a chalkboard!
You've seen all over blogland the cute tool boxes so many are making...sooooo I challenged my friend to make a small one. "No problem!", my friend responds! I painted it out in the same oops paint, stenciled 'Flowers' on the side, a little distressing ...
For staging I pulled from my own stash...the creamy white sugar and creamer my aunt made in ceramics many years ago, the white cake stands...
I love, love to combine shades of white in my home!!
I'm Partying with several friends this week! Grab your flops and come along...
Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!

Don't you just love oops paint!!! Great job...especially love that table!!!
Great finds! I love what you did with that little caddy. My son just made something similar at Cub Scout camp yesterday. Wonder if he would notice if I hijacked it and stenciled something pretty on it :)
Great finds and your choice of white looks perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your new treasures.

Don't you adore chalk board paint? I swear if my dogs would sit still for it, I'd dip them in it so I could send messages on them into my kid's messy rooms! This southern junk lovin' gal is now following you. Come say hello sometime
I love your thrifty finds!! Cake stand is gorgeous!

Lovely photos of your finds. That little table looks fabulous with its new color from oops paint. You've staged it very nicely.
Wow what great finds! I agree the cake stand is so pretty!
Hi Jan! Your table and blackboard turned out wonderful! I am loving your cake stand too.

GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT JOB! Wonderful finds.
I'm your newest follower; I found you via Kim's blog.
Everything looks better staged in front of a lake doesn't it? Great shots and great finds! Thanks for the follow and I did the same. :)
Oh my gosh, I've got a table exactly like that one, I think my mom bought it with S&H green stamps many long years ago :) and I totally want to paint it like you've painted yours. Love the way you staged it, love the new chalkboard, love the tool box "flowers" stenciling. You outdid yourself shopping this week, and I'm mighty proud of you :)
Oh wow! That table is my favorite, great job! I want to go junkin with you. Yeah, my friends look at me like I am crazy! Thanks for stopping by my blog and your sweet comments.
