Now, this picture was taken with my phone and I had no intention of putting it out there into the digital world, so that's why it is not fantastic. I painted it some aqua color paint sample I had and then put a glaze on it, you can see the brush strokes up close. I painted my chalkboard and added an upside down cup pull for a chalk holder. Those cute little wooden decor things are at Michael's. I painted it black and glued it on. It is sitting on a picture frame stand I got from Hobby Lobby.
Now, I also have been dying to try to create a sign I saw here on Adventures in Decorating. She has this lovely sign in her living room that says "Gather"....I have been looking for something to paint it on and then I thought...geez Pete...just use a long skinny cabinet door. So, back to the HfH I went and they happened to have one that would fit perfect over my dining room window. So, I primed and painted it. I put the Ralph Lauren glaze in Tobacco I had left from another project and then used a letter transfer tutorial I found here on Pinterest. I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I sanded down the black letters after I painted them to try to create a more weathered look, and it hid most of my mistakes. Yay!
Here it is in our freshly painted dining room!
