Met Monday




I am also linking up to Its So Very Cheri, check out her cloche, awesome.
Welcome Met Monday-ers!!  My weekend flew by, never enough creating time!!  I am linking up to Susan for start the week off with creative juices at Metamorphisis Monday.  It a great resource for all of your creative needs.

I am actually working on a chair refinishing project (to be revealed soon!) and finally got around to making a bulletin board for my daughter's room.  I had the gold frame in Carsyn's old room, but it needed an update.  I had been saving these big push pins I found at Christmas last year for such a project.  I wanted to give them a little more oomph and red and green didnt work with purple and pink!!  I spray painted the frame and pushpins Heirloom White.  It was my first time using this color, I am in love.  It is more of a creamy white, than stark white.  I should have known you fellow bloggers know your paint!!  Havent tried it?  You should!!  My lightbulb moment is when I remembered the whole bucket, maybe not bucket, but jar of buttons I had in the dungeon basement.

I think my favorite part is the buttons!  Have a great Monday.  Also check out my previous post about the monogram wreath, see what you think.

    Well that is very cool! I never thought of the buttons. I thought they were glass knobs!

    Those buttons just make the whole thing look so pretty. I have to say that like Shelly I thought they were glass too.
    Gina, you are so clever!!
    Best wishes, Natasha.
