Unwanted Hutch No More!

I've had this hutch for about 10+ years.  It started in the kitchen in Evanston, moved from room to room to basement in Green River.  Now here in Colorado the movers decided on their own to put it upstairs in a spare room so for the past year I glared at it, and told myself it was going back to the basement!!  Then Marley painted here dinning set, I loved the color and thought I REALLY need something in my house to be that color, so I did away with the hutch top (off to the basement), primed it with brown and sprayed painted it with Lagoon!!!

Roughed it up with a sandpaper block after the Lagoon had it fully covered!!!

Found these cutest knobs ever!!

The birdhouse was a gift!!  Look at the Knob, crazy cute!!

Gallery Wall

First I traced everything onto wrapping paper and labled it so I knew what picture it is.  Then I cut out each shape and taped them to the wall where I thought they best fit..

This is what I came up with.  I kinda love it!!

Of course I had to add some embelishments!!!

And I had to paint any frame that wasn't off white...

I went to Hobby Lobby without measuring this frame :(

I got lucky though because it fit perfect, no hardware holds it in, it just sits right in there.  Next I sprayed adhesive onto the canvas and placed the linen I cut onto it and smoothed it out.  Then I sprayed the back of the Family Picture and placed it on top!

I really like how it turned out!!!

Desktop chalkboard

First I cut the shape I wanted out of Contact Paper.  Then carefully I placed it in a position I hoped was centered on the desktop.

 Next I painted Chalkboard paint on it, about 3 coats.  My brush was small ;( took some time.  I tried to be careful along the edges as to not push the paint under the contact paper.  I waited about 3 hours before I took the contact paper off. 

More pictures to come, I will be sanding it a little and putting some stain on it.
