I’m so sorry I couldn’t take a picture of what it was before, but I’m sure I can show you some snaps that resemble the same. It was awful. Someone just didn’t have the eye for beauty. Any who, I picked it up for 30 bucks, and sanded it till the color bled out. Then I gave it two coats of Asian Paints Pristine Green.
And let it dry for two days. With a thick grained sand paper, I stripped it down from its sides and chipped it. By the way, a small knife did a good job too in bringing out the feel
Now, here it is! Ready to be mounted. I’ll show where I mounted it and with what!
Have a good weekend!

That is gorgeous – my style entirely!
Mine too! Shabby and chipped. Love it. I’m no where close to shine or brand new.
I own up – my taste is closer to how it will have looked before you took the sandpaper to it… But I just know you will make this will look fabulous where you mount it, and with whatever you stand on it. 🙂
Oh no! Trust me, it was a brown that you wouldn’t want on anything, except for your desserts. So good to have you back. Can we get a closeup of the stocking? Or a small tutorial?
Do you mean you want a cross stitch tutorial? It’s very, very easy.
Yes, cross stitch. I now remember its name. How do we form a pattern?
It looks lovely, shabby and chic. Thanks for sharing at Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays.
