Been Painting Again!

I've been painting again. Really like working with blackboard paint! Here are three more pieces I've done. The first is a two paneled cabinet door. Both panels are now chalkboards. The second and third pictures are the same piece. One side is painted in Christmas colors and the other is a dark tan. There are hooks to change the ribbon for the time of the year. The last two pictures are the same idea. Each piece is $35.
The double paneled door and the one with the black and white gingham ribbon are both for sale at Weekend Treasures. The one paneled door pictured last week and Christmas ribbon board below are for sale here at the shop.
