You can find the tute for this project and the printable (fo’ free) at eighteen25. But I’m still going to show how I created my version.
I started with this gold frame I found at the thrift store for $1.
Before:
I decided to use my free Valspar sample, Sweet Mustard, for this project. Spray paint would have been easier, but I already had this on hand.
I quickly sanded the frame because it seemed like the proper thing to do. And by quick I mean like 1 minute…sanding sucks.
2 coats of Sweet Mustard later and the frame was looking pretty SWEET (get it?).
(after 1 coat)
I shabbied it up with a little distressing and glazing (I used Minwax Dark Walnut stain and a paper towel...fancy)
I threw the printable in my frame and…ta-da!
After:
My first project done and posted! Finally!
I’m still debating whether or not I should permanently print/write out my weekly to-dos, so I don’t have to keep re-writing them.
Total Cost:
Frame $1
White Board Markers $2-something
Total $3-something
Dark Walnut stain)
