Cork Board redo

I got this cork board a couple yrs ago in an estate sale for $5. The frame color was originally avocado green (not pretty), then black, and now a beautiful Inlet Blue (by Laura Ashley). The little paint sample can cost me under$3, and there's still plenty left for some other projects.

I covered the cork with burlap (of course), and used glass beads to cover the frayed edges.

Drum roll if you please......Ta Da!

I love it! How about you??


I felt the need to paint something else with this delicious color, so I did this.

By the way that yellow pot was one of my Goodwill buys($1.75), it had horrible flowers in it.

Love the changes you made. I love the color! Not to long ago Home Depot had a giveaway for a free quart of paint your color choice while supplies last. Well, I so happy when the UPS guy should up with my can a few weeks later. Now I just have to open it and paint something!
