A Refurbished Chalkboard

It's amazing what a quart of paint will cover. 

I bought a can of Southern Honey Chawk Paint from one of my favorite little shops in Nashville. The color is Navy, of course, my newest love.


Remember the chalk board was tan. Voila! NAVY!


It's not as crooked as it looks in the first photo. 

We have a long way to go and a lot of thrifting. This may take awhile. But I've determined not to stress...today. Some days my resolve is not as strong.  "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

I still do not have Internet. We are awaiting a phone call from AT&T. I can post via phone but it's peck...peck....correct...peck...

Finding blogs and responding is not as easy on the phone either.  Please know I think of you and pray for you often.

  1. You are right with the trend! When we went to the Parade of Homes here last week, we commented on how many places had gray with navy accents. I like it too!

  3. I can imagine that posting with the phone is time consuming. The chalk board looks great. I love to decorate with thrift store and vintage finds. I honestly would have to have a home decorator come into my home and do it all for me! Have a great day. I hope you get your internet soon.

  9. We've lived in our house almost a year now and though I've come a long way, I still have a long way to getting it exactly as I want. Part of the fun is searching for treasures. Enjoy the process!

  10. I like these new colors you're going with. Your future is looking very bright! It's so exciting and I'm happy for y'all.
    Don't worry about returning comments or 'visiting' until it's easier. And I've moved my blog too: http://redbirdacres.wordpress.com . Blogger just messed with me one too many times ... *lol*
    Luv ~:)

  12. It sure does take time to get settled into a new place, especially when so much of what you have, has been in storage for a while. Enjoy the process! Blessings, Cindy xo
