Estate Sale Finds

Yesterday, a friend and I went to an estate sale.  The sale itself was a blog post in itself, but I'll save

that for another day.  I can't wait to start painting and chalking! Here's a quick look at some of my

 treasures.
 
Love this long mirror.  There is so much detail and it is HEAVY, solid wood.  I can't decide if I want
 
 to keep it as a mirror or chalk it.
 
 
This wooden oval piece is so cute.  It's calling for some paint and a chalkboard in my opinion.
 
 
Chalking this one for sure.  For some reason I want to make this coral, what do you think?
 
A little seaside escape.  The print has a thumb print size push through it so I may re-do the frame and
 
 put in another print.
A little vintage charm
I have a gallery wall in the works that will be featuring boats, how cute would this be on it?
 
 
 
And last but not least, let me introduce you to Polly, our newest
 
 addition.  How cute is this little statue?  I couldn't pass her by.  I think she'll look like great with a  
 
coat of silver or gold spray paint!  What do you think?!

    2. I think it would be cute either way, but I use more mirrors than chalkboards in my house, so I'd paint the frame & leave the mirror. ;-)

  7. I thought you were introducing us to a new puppy LMHO - that is so realistic looking Lauren!!!
    And those mirrors had me swooning - every one of them - but I particularly love that wide oval one - and I think I'd keep that as a mirror ( my 2 cents - I always have to stick it everywhere LOL )
    XOXO

  8. Oh you got some great mirrors that you're to be able to do so much with! I love the poodle statue too! I'd totally paint it fully white, but that's cause I have a little white poodle :)

    1. Hey Kim,
      no she's a statue haha! I went with a more neutral color, I'm hoping to sell that one and wanted to appeal to a broader audience.
