A Junky Fruit Bowl

 Boy, am I glad I picked up a broken metal base at a yard sale a few weeks ago! It turned into something I'm absolutely loving... this junky fruit bowl!

Shabby Little Shelves

This little shabby shelf was once just a lowly frame with an ugly picture and a broken mirror. And now it's a fabulous blue shelving unit! The mirror wasn't originally broken, but I broke it when I removed it from the frame. Oops. I guess it's seven year's bad luck for me. Now, isn't that just great! :)

But enough about my misfortunes. On to the project.

Jewelry Box {with checker drawer pulls}

We recently finished this little jewelry box.

I debuted it on Monday in a photo of our Broken Chair Chalkboard Shelf.

Eric built this for me to paint and it's so cute!

This was bare wood, so I started with some latex paint in a light blue shade.

Over that I added some Ce Ce Caldwell's Pittsburgh Gray.

But my favorite part are the drawer pulls!

These are checker pieces painted with Virginia Chestnut and a dry brush coat of Santa Fe Turquoise.

I bought the checkers awhile back at a local store and had previously painted these 3.

I love how they look on these small drawers.

Just the right size for this little cutie!

I also cut a vinyl stencil and painted the daisies, 1 on each side and 2 on the top, with the light blue paint as well.

I think this would be just perfect for special young lady!
