We’ve just returned home, fresh from our yearly camping trip and I have to say that this year’s trip was a pretty big success.
So if you want to take the impatient route like I do, I say go ahead!.Next, I “seasoned” them by rubbing some chalk all over them and then wiping it off.. Time to see how they look!
I used some thumb tacks to attach them to the fronts of the baskets.I just pressed them right in and they held on beautifully.They look pretty neat too.. A few extras for fanciness and I had just the look I wanted.. You might think it sounds crazy to try and use cardboard to make a chalkboard, but it really works just as well as any other surface once you get the paint on there.
That stuff is magic.. Here’s one in action!I’m pleased with it.
Only one final tip: Try to remember to wipe your greasy fingerprints off of your labels before you photograph them to show the world.I’ve been working on a really quick little bathroom update for the last month or so, and of course, like on any project, there were lots of little imperfections.
I learned a long time ago that caulking is your best friend for filling gaps and covering up mistakes, especially in an old house like ours where nothing is square.The pot that I’d been eyeing up for the last few years as it was filled to overflowing with all kinds sunny, happy flowers.
The pot that I always admired over the fence as we were chatting about good hiking trails or how to finally keep those darn ground hogs away.. Only at this point it had been left outside for a few winter seasons and was badly cracking and falling apart..So now it’s here.
Full of holes, but still managing to hold so much magic.Maybe some of it will rub off on my fern.…is something that we’re up to our elbows in around here.
