Repurposed Brown Wooden Bowls Painted Pink, Blue, White

Repurposed Brown Wood Bowls Painted Pink, Blue, White

Hello, and Welcome back to Second Time Treasures page for LilacsNDreams! Glad to have you here, and so happy you stopped to see me today too!

Sorry I have been gone for so long from this page. I honestly have been busy with different things. Life, family, busy, busy, deer accident, new car, celebrations, and so on. Just happen to be a busy time for me with many things, and I know there are many of you who can relate to this too. 

Tonight I just finished painting 3 wooden bowls I had gotten when I was out thrifting. The top picture shows the bigger of the bowls that was painted, and I happen to have another one just like it a bit smaller that I threw into the bunch to paint too. So, both of those bowls were painted an Iris Blue for the bigger one, and the other one is just plain white. As for the smaller bowls I painted those a ballet slipper pink color. Aren't they just yummy! Also, you will see a round base that is for one of the cloches I have that I painted too. This one is white as you can see. 

I have 3 more cloches to paint the bases to, but am fighting against weather, and the season right now. They won't take long to do, but it needs to be warm enough for me to be in the garage painting these items. It has been soooo windy here with some beautiful days! The wind finally calmed enough for me to get into the garage the past couple of days to do some painting, and did it feel good to do too!:)

I thank you all for stopping by to see me today, and hope you enjoyed the visit. If you watch my Thrift Store Junkies page you can kind of get an idea of what finds I have gotten while out thrifting, and junking. From that will determine what is offered for sale, and most of the items will be repurposed. I am getting ready to start listing some of my completed items at Artfire. I am having sooo much fun doing this, and happy that I have chosen this path with creating. Thanks again for visiting everyone, and see you again soon. 

Metal Tin Tray Blue Design Chalkboard Repurposed

Metal Tin Tray Blue Design was found with other trays with different colors, and design. I tried this one as my first project for making a chalkboard on it. This is the before picture.

Here is the after picture of the repurposed tray I did as a chalkboard. I had gone to 2 different stores that did not have the chalkboard spray I was wanting. Soooo, I regretfully got the pain on chalkboard, which would have not been bad if I had been more experienced with it. I used a sponge applicator, and applied the chalkboard paint. Unfortunately, I can see the lines, marks from me going back and forth with the sponge applying this. And, I am sure it probably did this because I have applied more than needed. Now I know, but with this I wish I would have known sooner. I do have other trays I found on the same day with this one. Red one, Black one with floral design, and a really Retro one with yellow, orange, and green colors. WooHoo!

Before I attempt another chalkboard I have made sure I found a can of the spray chalkboard paint which I feel for me will work better. So, whether I make more chalkboards, or magnetic memo boards with the other trays, I will make sure to show it here as well, ok? 

Thanks so much for visiting with Second Time Treasures. I enjoy your visits, and welcome all comments, and things you wish to share too. Take care everyone, and have a super weekend!:)
