Here is one of my latest projects//
Turning cabinet into chalkboard mini wet bar///I found this vintage piece in Florence, AL while visiting Emma and doing a little antique shopping. Enjoyed the blue color for a year but was wanting a change, thought the black chalkboard paint would look nicely in our place and my-oh-my did it turn out great.
tools needed:
nail hole patch//in this case moving damage patch
painters tape-a must
roller-w/extras
chalkboard paint-available @ Home Depot/Lowes
trim brush
sponge
newspaper-recycle old dailies to guard the floor
after three coats and letting dry for several days, viola!
write away!!
overall bar is not complete, still want to install wine glass holder above and also collect vintage decanters. . .but thus far I’m satisfied.
photos from Friday evening//spent grilling out, sipping on a Sweet Water 420 keg, while listening to friend’s new album
cha cha now y’all!
vintage blouse, Guess shorts w/suspenders, Dolce Vita sandals
g’night!
