This sign started off as a plain, chunky wood frame that I purchased at a thrift store.
I decided to paint it a creamy, off-white color and distress it
to allow the natural wood to show through in places.
This fun project is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
While my husband and I were looking for treasures
along the 100 mile roadside market on HWY 21
through North Carolina and Virginia a couple weekends ago,
we kept finding old cutting boards.
I picked up three of them on that trip and I knew they would work perfectly
for a project that I had pinned quite a while back.
Vintage jello molds and thrift store candle holders were a perfect combination
to create a set of farmhouse candle holders.
It all started with a trip to a really cool architectural salvage place in Otto, NC
called Culpepper Architectural Salvage.
A vintage garage sale picture got a makeover
and now it's a large chalkboard.
A plain, wood lazy susan made its way home with me earlier in the year.
I didn't really have any idea what I was going to do with it,
but I knew it had potential.
Finally, inspiration struck!
Who knew?
My neighbor had it all along.
I've been looking for an antique sewing machine with a cast iron base for months now.
Not a pretty one.
One that needed some work.
I happened to stop by a small, local flea market a couple weeks back
and there it was, in the back of a trailer.
I wanted to make a few patriotic projects to take to my booth,
so I decided to revisit some of my previous projects
and look at my July 4th Pinterest board for inspiration.
The first project was inspired by a sign I pinned a while back.
