Wine to Shell

i couldn't wait to post this!! today i did a small project that i'm so proud of...i'm re-doing my dining room...slowly but surely its getting there...i've been searching the internet for some crafty things to make...i'm going for the beach/coastal look...my husband and i have a fondness for the beach...its our goal to move to the coast oneday...so, until then, here is one of my beach projects:

here is a buffet that i recently did...the pictures above it are not the look i'm going for...my mother gave them to me a while ago for christmas...there was a tag on the back that said 2003..also one that said $72.00!!! YIKES! she might not like this....

here is a close up...wine picture...its not that bad...just not my taste anymore...

i took it apart...the frame was wood and gold?? so i spray painted it white...i'm on a white kick for some reason...i am loving the brightness...

the end!! i left the chocolate brown mat..i may change that but for now i like it...i'm making drop cloth curtains and i purchased some extra for some crafts and stuff i want to do...i used the cloth for the background...i glued some shells onto it that i purchased at marshalls...i'm not quite finished with the other one yet...rainy day in georgia...

Finished



 Peace, Love, & Joy

Love the makeover! I've been making over some of my old Tuscan things, too. The shells are perfect, and I love how the paint made the frame look completely different! Thanks for sharing.

I'm hosting my monthly Before Blogging Throwback Thursdays party, and would love for you to link up anything you made/did/bought Before Blogging. Can't wait to see what you bring to the party.

What a great idea! Simple but effective, modern and fresh.
