Boards of curb side finds and more.


Fun new look for my studio with curb side finds! This is how my shutters used to be. I have enjoyed them for just about 10 years. I think it  is time for a change.....don't you?
I went to a wonderful spring show in Hico Texas. ( will feature later) They had these fabulous window boxes with birds on the shutters and lines painted on the front of the boxes. You can see on the fence I have painted one of the boxes. The others will follow. Any way back at the "ranch" lol backyard. I was ready for a change. IN walks my super-duper HB. I told him that I was tired of the hearts and stars. His comment SO SOON! hehe
BIG YES! He said O.K. draw me what you want. YEA! Now here comes the free curb side stuff.
There are at least 20 boards that were waiting for a new home too. The color is a wonderful rich green/gray color. After the swallow was drawn....................it was too small and did not cover up the hearts. Plan B. Cover up! I love the color of the boards as I have said!!!! Why not use them?  I am so pleased how it all turned out. What do you think?
I am hooking up with  Linda over at  http://linda-coastalcharm.blogspot.com/
