Happy Happy ALMOST weekend friends!
I am SOOOO excited for this weekend because my sister-in-law {who is away for school}
is coming home tomorrow!!!!
Yayyy!
Soooo that means that we will have a fun weekend full of family time!
Sooooo I had to get my last few Christmas projects finished up so that I could be all ready to host my in-laws!
And soooo I finished up this project that I have been thinking about for some time now!
I had some fun up-cycling and refinishing a vintage sled for the winter season!
{I am all about winter decor vs Christmas decor
because it means I will get to enjoy it just that much longer}
I mixed the chalk paint colors-old white and province to make this light teal that I am so so crazy about.
I cut my words out in vinyl using my favorite cutting tool the silhouette and added the stripes by taping off the sections with plain old painters tape.
I would have never guessed that I would love the green and the teal so much together....
butt ooh how I do!
And then I did my favorite part---I distressed the piece to perfection.
And I truly think that the best part about finishing a project is finding it the perfect home.
& I found this guy
a home right in my entryway.
I am so enjoyingmy holiday decor...
Check out my holiday home tour {living room edition} HERE!
Andddd I know I said that today would be the day I share my kitchen holiday decor.... buttt that will come your way early next week instead!
I am linking up to a few of my favorite link parties!
That is a great idea to upcycle an old vintage sled. I don't know how you do it, over, and over, and over again!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that sled, you did such a great job!! Please come teach me your ways & redecorate my house :)
ReplyDeleteLove it - the sled turned out perfect. I had several vintage sleds that I sold but I will have to be on the lookout for a new one to try this idea with!
ReplyDeleteAH, I adore this! What a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteOhh I saw that in one of your photos the other day & thought it was so cute! So glad you shared :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is fantastic! And I totally agree about making things that can last beyond Christmas! You did a wonderful job. I love, love this!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!! You've inspired me to do something like this!! Love that your skates, this, etc. can all last beyond Christmas esp. when our midwest winters go far longer than we'd like!! Great work!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thiiiink, I'ma steal it ;) Cute!!
ReplyDeletePS-your dog is sweet.
Wow - i really love the sled! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love the colors together!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Taking some inspiration from this for a sled I picked up at a thrift store.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of it! Thanks for sharing at Beyond The Picket Fence.
ReplyDeleteThat green and teal is pretty much perfection! I LOVE your vintage sled-you find the BEST pieces!!
ReplyDeleteso cute! and great idea about winter decorating vs christmas...
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing at upcycle projects! I hope the hubby slips a silhouette machine under the tree this year for me. I have him convinced that it can make EVERYTHING...LOL Like I might share this with him and tell him the maching actually made the sled....not just the lettering..LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it. I have an old sled but am a bit scared of messing with it. I like what you did though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I need to get my hands on an old sled. That is just a fantastic piece on its own, but the "touch-ups" really add something classy.
ReplyDeleteHappiness all round. Fabulous to have the family home and love your project.
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a great redo! I'd be thrilled if you came and linked this (any any other projects you'd like to show off) to the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com ~Jen
