A Little Project

This project came about last week in the wee hours of the morn when I was trying to figure out the wall in the foyer. I remembered that I had this old shutter thing out in the garage for jeez over a year now. Then I pulled the yellow frame from the guest bedroom. We purchased it at Ikea a few years back. It use to be black. The letter 'F' I used for our fall wreath for the front door. Though I did not use this for the foyer I kept thinking how much I liked it. So I got to work transforming it.

I started out with the old shutter and my Chateau Grey chalk paint which I did stop using because I really think something may be wrong with it. Still waiting to hear back on it though.

Then I used my Old White Chalk Paint on the frame and lightly brushed the shutter with it as well. Then for the frame I used my Jacobean wax and forgot that I needed to add the clear wax first so the Jacobean soaked right into the chalk paint but it ended up turning out okay in the end.

Here is the final result! 

I love the white dry brushed on top of the gray.

I also love how the frame turned out though I am debating on whether or not to dry brush it with some old white as well or maybe take some Antique Gold Rub N Buff to it or just leave it alone. At first I added this display to the hallway between our kitchen and dining room but it is rather large and made me feel claustrophobic.

So it ended up here on the stair landing which then led to me starting a whole nother project which is still in progress!:)

Also do not forget to stop by my Appreciation Party! You have till August 1 to submit your questions for consideration!

I am linking up to the following linky parties:

 

Hope your Monday was a great one!
