B&A Friday

I decided to share a little something of my own today.  Since I'm not really doing much with furniture these days, I've been walking around my house saying "What can I paint today?"
I think I may have a bit of an addiction to turning something from ugly to pretty.
I got this mailbox at a thrift store a long time ago, it was the exact same one my parents had in the 80's that held pens and paper.
 Now, I'm going to use it for stationary, pens and other mailing needs.

I love the little detail of the flowers.

I hope this inspires you to paint a little something over the weekend!

    Love it! I used to have a little jewelry box that was the same style. Kicking myself for not keeping it and trying this paint technique on it ;-(.

    Thanks for sharing ;-).

    This is really pretty! I like the green you used and the detail is nicely enhanced with the distressing. That's a fun little project. I need to take a walk through our house and find somehing small to do like this. Perfect to do while watching TV at night.
