lots to catch up on

I promise that I've been busy working on all of my "projects", I just couldn't seem to squeeze in a new post-so sorry for that. My parents and my sister with her family are coming up to New York at the end of the month for a very exciting and busy visit. This has been my goal to get soooo many things done before they arrive. Let me share what I've been working on:



This large tin bowl was a TJMaxx find, I've actually had it for years.
I wasn't liking the color for where I wanted to use it.
FYI, it will be used in our "Americana" living room that I will hopefully be starting next week!

So I painted it!
I spray painted it white, inside and out, then rubbed stain allover until it looked even.
Tada!
We HAD to get rid of these 1970's outdated light fixtures.


Ugh!!!


So much better.
                                                                Onto some fun stuff!

 
I bought this chalkboard paint to paint a chalkboard on a wall in our "Americana" living room/play room...




Then I got this idea...


I cleaned the side of this cabinet with the deglosser from the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation kit.
Let the cabinet dry...

Stir well.


Using a smooth foam roller, appy 3 coats-letting each coat dry thoroughly in between.
 Let sit for 3 days.
Condition by rubbing the side of chalk all over the entire board, erase, ready to use!
