Vintage finds repurposed

A few weeks ago I snagged this very tall shutter for only $8

Knowing exactly what I wanted to do with it I took it home

This is the way I bought it

Then I spray painted it white

sanded the edges

 added photos to display at the wedding.

  I'm still not finished

 I want to add a glass door knob

(they already have a hole for one)

and maybe a burlap bow

On the same shopping trip

 I picked up these three cool electrical thingys

 with intentions of using them as candle bases.

  But the paint was very very flakey.

 Everytime I picked one up

 paint chips were every where. 

 How do you solve that?

Clear coat protective spray

Add a hurricane globe and candle and tada!

And I have been wanting some vintage frogs to hold pics but haven't come across any

Until I found these at my local craft store

So I bought them, spay painted them very lightly and sanded edges

I will use these at the wedding as well. Love!

Sometimes you see a piece and know exactly what to do with it

And sometimes you don't

But if it speaks to you

just buy it

you'll eventually figure out what to do with it!
