Clipboard Style Photo Display

February 11, 2015
My Junkin' Friend Jodi gave me this pig mail organizer.


I first pried the pigs off of the backboard.  Since there was glue besides the staples, I sanded the glue/wood splinter residue off.  This was the hardest part of my whole makeover, but I did get it smooth.

Next I painted the mail organizer backboard with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Cream".

Of course I distressed it with sandpaper and waxed the piece with clear wax.

I added a wood applique from D Lawless Hardware painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Old White".  A Bulldog clip was screwed into the organizer back, and the tip that came through on the back was sawed off with a hacksaw.

I love photo display alternatives to picture frames!  So much more fun!

  1. That turned out great. What did you do with the pigs? Could you paint them and attach a magnet on the back? They would look cute on the fridge.
