In the dining room

No cost changes.  Reuse…….Repurpose

Sometimes even the things I love the most start to look boring.

Like my pheasant picture. This was the only pic. I could find of the before.  I removed the print. Probably still won’t get rid of it.  Although Heather seems to think it need to go away…..permanently.

I repainted the frame, distressed the heck out of it and rummaged around in the storage shed for an old box I’d seen.

I came so close to painting that box.  I’m happy that I didn’t now.  I just gave it a good scrubbing and now I love the way that it looks.  The enamel number on the front was the perfect finishing touch.

The perfect no cost change for my dining room!

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Hi Denise,
    I love how your dining room looks. You have great taste and I like the way you do things a little differently. Love the chalkboard.

    Wow, I didn't realize the thickness of that frame until I saw the last picture, Denise! What a great box, too. I don't think it needed to be painted either. Looks good as is!
