Let's Talk Vintage #84: Cupboard Door Turned Kitchen Menu & Grocery Chalkboard

 Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

 

 

This is a pretty informal linky party.

No hoops to jump through, no

rules really either.

All you have to do is link up with

something vintage! Even if you just

sell stuff.

 

*****************

This week I am sharing my latest project...

but sad to say there are no "before" or "during"

photos! We are getting pieces ready for the

shop so quickly that I forget to take a picture.

 

I had a large cupboard door that we

found at the local Habitat for Humanity

Re-Store but I didn't know what to do with it.

Actually, we found two of them and

were stumped on what to create.

 

Make a small table? Coffee table?

What. Can We Do. With. It.??????

 

After thinking about it for awhile, I came

up with this:

 

A double panel chalkboard menu/grocery list!

I was really excited once I thought of it.

 

And frankly, this has probably already been

done and can be found on Pinterest...

but I was proud of myself! LOL!

 

We even left the hinges on and they

worked out perfectly as a way to

hang the new "board" on the wall!

 

 

 

 

I like it so much I wish I had room for one in my kitchen!

But alas, no such space to be found.

Someone will have a big wall to hang it on...

and it is in the shop now.

 

 

The other project I was working on in the

shop last week was setting up a patriotic

display as soon as you walk in the door.

 

Love the red, white, and blue!

We just came back from our lake house

in the Adirondacks and I brought back a
vintage flag that I have since
draped over the chair.

 

 

and speaking of the lake...

We had to head up there earlier

than our usual Memorial Day

weekend. It. Was. Cold.

Poor hubby had to put the dock

in and the water was p-r-e-t-t-y chilly.

 

But it was worth it because Bebe

was having fun with her Daddy

catching fish.

And thankfully my shop-mate,
Kathy, was running the store!

 

Thanks so much for coming along

with my adventures!

 

Let's get to this week's features:

The LTV favorite of the week
was this awesome vinyl record
two tiered tidbit tray by
Lynda Creates!
So clever and fun for
a themed party or kids snack.

Cecilia of My Thrift Store
Addiction also wowed us
with her herb and garden
themed shop. She is mighty
talented!

 Joy at a Vintage Green
showed us her wonderful
treasure... and how she
transformed it BACK
into its original design.

and Oh my word! Look at this
fun yard sale Emergency kit put
together by Sarah of Sadie  
Seasongoods! Perfect idea
for an old lunch box! Because
we always have an emergency
when yard sale-ing!
