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!!

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. 

Old Window Revamp

This old window had no glass in it when I found it at the Flea Market so I painted it red,( my fav color to dcecorate with, next to whites :)), then added chicken wire to the back.  Perfect way to get to use my old clothes pins and I attached the tin pocket and the wooden box....thinking about painting MAIL on the front of wooden box.
