THRIFTY THURSDAY - MY NEW MESSAGE/PICTURE BOARD

While redecorating my home office, I decided I needed a message board. I bought a cheap cork for $3, used the fabric I used for my bench, and pulled out some ribbon from my scrapbooking supplies. Of course, I had to use my scissors and craft bond for the material.






Here is the finished product. I was very happy with it. For a total of $3 and about 20 minutes I end up with a great message board.

THRIFTY THURSDAY - LOVE MY NEW TABLE

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before picture of this chest. Just imagine..... black in color, been sitting in a basement for at least 10 years, sitting in my garage for another 2-3 years, cobwebs, dust, dirt, and dog hair. I spent a couple of hours of washing, drying and even blowing it with the leaf blower before I began to paint.

After 3 cans of paint...........this is the result.

I have it in my guest bathroom. I am very pleased with the way it turned out and the best part is this was given to me, FREE. I just wish that I had painted it sooner.
