Free is always good!


So when I stopped by my local lumber yard to see what I could find.

I was overjoyed to find out that they give away free molding samples!

Yep... FREE.

This piece caught my eye right away.

It came with it's own chalk ledge.

I cut the 10" sample in half and painted each one an awesome retro green found in the oops paint at Home Depot.

I taped off a spot in the center to paint with chalkboard paint then added a couple of beads at the top for a finial.

For the stand on the back I went with my traditional
junk find turned functional.

Repurposing at it's finest!

A rusty lamp piece and an old belt buckle worked perfectly!

Always keeping my eyes open for the possibilities and
never pass up FREE!
