Before and After ~ First Aid Box





This is another easy project I managed to get done...

 

another wooden handmade box...

these can usually be found at the thrift stores...

I cut the top heart off...  used a reverse stencil ... painted and distressed ...

so this little peanut

 has a place to put her Dora bandages when she gets an "owie" at Gramma's house

 

I also re-painted this vintage chalkboard for the little artist... I taped off the design and gave it a few new coats of chalkboard paint... she loves it.

 

 I found the adjustable easel at one of my antique haunts. 

 

Don't they make a perfect pair?

 

 

 Hope you are having a great day... thanks for popping by...

 

 

Before and After - First Aid Cabinet

Oh wow, it has been awhile since I posted anything new here.  Thanks for hanging in there.  Life has been hectic and being a Gramma has been taking a lot of my free time.  Who knew it would be this much fun.  I am loving every minute of it. 

I did manage to get a few things accomplished the past few months...

I wanted to make a first aid cabinet for awhile now.  As soon as I saw this handmade wooden cabinet at the thift store I knew exactly what is was going to be. 

 as found... no back, shelves or glass

 

painted... stained... distressed... and waxed...

 

added a porcelain knob, glass from a thrifted photo frame and a shutter hook

 

added two shelves... a piece of luan on the back, covered with scrapbook paper

and

 loaded her up with some vintage first aid pieces

 

I added etching vinyl to the glass to give it that opaque look... good job I did because the last turn on the screw cracked the glass... it just addds a little more character to the piece, don't ya think

 

it now has a new home on the shutter hanging in my washroom

 

Thanks for popping by...

 

 

 

ALERT ~  there's a little lady bug running about the malls these days... keep your eyes peeled
