Makeover Madness

I found this at the Salvation Army a couple of weeks ago. It was marked $2.99 but it was half off day. So $1.50 wasn't to bad and I had plans for this guy.....big plans...........


Pretty right ? Got to love the cherries/tomatoes ??? painted on it.
Well after some sanding, patching, more sanding and a few coats of paint I was thrilled.

Ain't she pretty now, all dressed up the the Holidays

Dollar store battery operated candles
                         
Free pine boughs and pine cones from the yard
I did the black oval with chalkboard paint, just need to decide what to write.



Don't mind the silver tea pot in the background, the 4 year old was having tea this afternoon with the "Snowman Pillow"
Yes she can be strange creative sometimes

So basically for under $5 I have a great centerpiece for my table.
Typically I would of just walk by this thing if I wasn't thinking "makeover"

Happy Crafting !!!!

Linking up to the following parties....

  2. Wow, this is so gorgeous. Good for you for spotting its makeover potential! I'm still not very good at that!

    I love the way you've chosen to paint it - and with the blackpoard oval. Lovely, lovely!!

    So, you say it was your daughter having tea with the pillow???? I think we all know it was you......!!!!!!! :-)
