Let's Tak Vintage #79: New Projects and Our First Week in the Shop

Welcome to "Let's Talk Vintage!"

 

 

You can link up your blog posts about your latest

vintage finds, projects, items for sale, you name it!

 

Other ideas include old family photos and stories,

tried and true recipes handed down through the

family, collections you may have, etc.

 

Today I'm sharing some of my latest

projects and photos from our new shop.
 

 

Since we had to fill the shop up pretty quickly,

I have a bunch of projects that I've been

cranking out. I have to say I even surprised

myself with how much I enjoyed creating!

I think it was all the years I've watched things

being created in blog-land that helped me.
 

So, thank you for all of your inspiration!

I'm not sure who originally gave me this 
idea but I knew I had an old bread board
that had seen better days... and voila!

What was once old is new
again, and now in the shop.

 

 

Here are a couple more projects....

a small side table and a suitcase.

 

The table had pretty good lines

so I decided to keep the lower half

untouched and only paint the top black,

using chalk paint.

 

Then a stencil over the black that

matched the color of the lower half.

 

 

I like how it turned out although I think

we realized it could have been better.

The hubs used regular wax on the top

instead of dark wax. Learning as we go...

 

I loved the suitcase and decided

to decorate it.

 

Using blue painter's tape, I blocked

off a set of three stripes and painted

in between using black paint. Then I

 added a French stencil overlay in white.

 

One of the easiest projects I've tried! 

 I'm currently working on a vanity since one sold

over the weekend in the store.

 

I'll have results with what we decided

to do for "the makeover!"
