Hello friends! I finally had time to do a post. Only because it is cold and windy outside. Otherwise I would be outside planting my garden, which is really late.
So now I have time to be on the computer.
I took some beadboard from my dad he was going to throw away! Really Dad!! Throw this away what were you thinking?? So I snarfed them up.
I cut them in 1 foot by 1 foot pieces. I used the back and placed painters tape in rows and then painted the uncovered stripes.
Here are the three I did first with the tape removed and before being sanded.
Here it is up on my shelf with a cute little starYou can put a frame on it like this.
This is on my front entry table with a berry wreath and star..
I made about 6 of these in Cream, Green, and Grey. I thought it would be cute to put your child initials on them too. They are so easy!!
I cant believe your dad was going to throw away beadboard! Good thing you snatched it up because your frames are so pretty! you have such a way of making beautiful things out of the most simple things:) Love your blog:)

Mary you are too sweet. I know! I freaked when my dad said he was throwing all of it away because it was too small to do anything with, well not for me. lol Thanks for visiting :)
DeleteWhat great way to use the scraps! I love the shelf. All of the ways that you decorated with it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy!

ReplyDeleteChantelle, I'm not a "stripey person", I like them, I just don't have a lot around my home. But I really like how these turned out. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love this idea!! I have the perfect little frame to put on a board like this, plus I LOVE your display in the last photos. I think I need to raid my in-law's garage for scraps from their remodeling. :)
ReplyDeleteKimberly,
DeleteYou totally need to go grab some wood from your in-laws! Good luck on your projects. Thanks for commenting :)
Holly,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? How is the home selling going? Have you moved yet? Thanks for saying hi. I love the old yellow door on the side of your house, I had three old doors sitting in my shop and decided to paint one and put in my basement after seeing how cute your was. Have a great Mothers day weekend :)
