Garage Sale Purchases Re-purposed As A Wall Pocket
July 24, 2018
The artwork and the plain frame were recent garage sale finds.
I paid $1 for each.
The white baskets were also recent rummage sale finds. $2 for the pair.
Time to whip up a project!
First I brushed two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Duck Egg Blue on the frame, and wet distressed the frame with a damp rag.
I had a scrap of rough sawn fence board from my bookshelf project that was just about the right size for the frame.
The boards had been grayed with Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator
. It's water based and speeds up the weathering process. I like the results, especially on rough sawn fence boards. I did not seal the gray wood but I did seal the chalk paint with Varathane Interior Crystal Clear Water-Based Poly in Satin Finish

The board was cut to perfectly fit in the frame, and the nails were toed in to hold the board in place.
A sawtooth hanger was added to the back.
Then I simply hung the small basket on a nail.
My fall floral picks are from Kruenpeeper Creek Gifts.
I like FALL colors with duck egg blue!
The distressed frame and basket work well together too.

Fall is just around the corner!
This would be a perfect project to hang on your door instead of a wreath.
