3 Thrift Shop Makeovers in ONE Post

Here are three thrift shop makeovers I completed this week!

First this iron, ornate frame in a sort of Pepto-Bismal pink.

First I painted it black with a rustoleum Canyon Black.  Then I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White, and distressed it so both black and pink showed through in spots.

I printed out this lovely French rose graphic from the Graphics Fairy.  I used the wallet size print.

A little shabby French, framed, vintage, rose print.

Next a sun faded duck print (probably from the 1970's) in a beat up wood frame.

First I painted the frame with a Deco Art Chalk Finish paint in Vintage.  Then I painted the frame with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White.  I distressed the frame leaving both wood and the bluish "Vintage" paint showing through.  The glass got a good cleaning as well.

The frame now compliments the faded pastel shades of the old print.

My last make-over started with this well used cutting board with a cool metal handle.  First I stained the wood with my mixture of white vinegar and steel wool.  (I found this recipe all over Pinterest).  Then I painted the wood with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White.  I wet distressed the wood so the stain would not get sanded off with rough sandpaper.

I used an image I found on Pinterest and applied it with Mod Podge transfer method, (as I have done many times before).

This is such a fun transfer.

I added a sawtooth type hanger to the back of the cutting board or should I say farmhouse kitchen towel hanger!

There you have it:
