Garage sale season is upon us! Can you feel it, my treasure hungry, bargain hunting friends? Recently, I headed out the door to run a few errands on a Saturday morning and was quite surprised to see a few "Yard Sale" signs up and about! Now, you know I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up a few treasures! I could hardly wait to take my finds home and point the Annie Sloan magic wand in their direction! Here are my "mini makeovers," as I like to call them!
My favorite piece by far was this vintage wood bread box. The chalk paint color, an experiment gone right (in my humble opinion)...is approximately 4 parts Old White to 1 part Scandinavian Pink, followed by clear and dark waxes.
I am anxious to see how this soft peachy pink compares to Antoinette, the newest pale pink in Annie's collection!
Inside, I lined the back panel with an antique ledger motif scrapbook paper. I love how the colors work together and the scrolly handwriting shows through the glass front.
The peachy pink breadbox found a new home within 24 hours of being delivered to my booth space!
Anything with a bow on it catches my attention. It must be the girly girl in me! This little bow adorned frame was a good candidate for that peachy pink paint mix, and the bow detail really stands out in Old White. The darling crowned bird was found flying around Pinterest. I've captured and caged it on my Ephemera Board!
A handmade wooden toolbox was made over in Old White, clear waxed all over, but dark waxed only on the outside. I filled it with rolls of vintage sheet music tied up with ribbon and a hang tag made from a beautiful image borrowed from The Graphics Fairy.
That's it for now, but don't worry... there is much more to come!
I am so looking forward to meeting up with my Bloggy Buddy, Denise of Pink Postcard tomorrow morning! Point our GPS in the direction of a few Estate Sales and Thrift Stores... and who knows what kind of trouble we might stir up!
Wink!
Thank you so very much for your sweet visit!
Until next time!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
