Weekend Projects

I really love Sundays Because they are the only day that Kyle and I have off together.  We try to do different things every Sunday like try a new place to eat or work on whatever projects we have to work on.  Together we basically made all of our wedding decorations including our backdrop and table decorations, let's just say that we can do a lot with spray paint and old furniture :).  We have a couple things that we have been needing to start working on so we did a little of everything.

We actually found these three chairs in a back alley one night around midnight, we find the most random things but if you keep your eyes out you can totally find stuff like this wherever you go, we started to spraypaint these black and are still working on making them look a little more worn and antique.  They are going to go perfectly with the table Ky made out of an old table.


The biggest project I started this weekend was working on some gifts that I wanted to make for a few people (seeing as the surprise still needs to remain in tact I won't mention names).  We found some old windows at a few random places and had the great idea to make them into chalkboards, you can actually buy spray paint that is made specifically for making chalkboards!

I started with the old window and placed it on an old sheet outside.  Using painter's tape I sectioned off the area that I wanted to be the actual chalkboard, I also went ahead and covered the rest of the frame with the tape so the spray paint wouldn't get anywhere it wasn't supposed to.

DANCE BREAK

After everything was covered I did a couple coats of the chalkboard paint, it dries really weird and shows imperfection really easily so try to keep it in a safe place while drying (and don't let husbands try to get a bug out of it).

I really love they way this turned out, it's not totally done just yet but you will see it when it is, I was thinking about making a few more when I can get my hands on some more antique windows (glass still in tact) and trying to sell them but we will see.  If you are interested please let me know on the button button facebook page or you can even email me at asay.stephanie@gmail.com
