I think I have a new addiction... Facebook yard sales. Yep, bye bye craigslist, Facebook yard sale sites are SO much better. If you haven't discovered these yet, just do a quick search on facebook for "(your town) yard sale" I'm ashamed to admit I follow 4 yard sale groups in the Huntsville area. It's better than craigslist because you can actually see real people posting what you want to buy.
This week, I bought this mirrored tray off of one of the Huntsville area yard sales for $8.
I took some left over chalk paint from my cabinet door chalkboard project and painted the frame (Destin Gulf by CeCe Caldwell) turquoise. Then I finished it by applying Amber wax and buffing it to bring out a light shine.
It took a few coats to cover up the gold and I still buffed off a little to let the gold peek through on some of the accents.
Check out the details on the roses!
It makes a perfect home for these little birds.
Thanks for stopping by! If you haven't entered the Kitchen Aid Giveaway, there is still time! It closes the end of May.
I love what a transformation paint can make! Lovely!
