Goodwill Picture Fix

Hello Everybody!

I love when I get comments on a post and some of you left some wonderful ones about my

  Goodwill Hunting Post.

I had been debating whether or not I wanted to fill in the chippy spots on this picture I purchased at the Goodwill with some black paint or leave it be.

I had originally thought that it had a sort of old, vintage, worn feel to it, but,

 the more I looked at it and especially after seeing the pictures

of it on my blog, I thought,

it doesn't look good at all!!!

So I knew that I wanted to touch it up with paint.

Before:

After:

There's still some chips here and there and it's not perfect by any means,

but, that's exactly why I like it!

I changed the background paper too. It's from my stash here at home, I'm sure it will be changed again though.

Several times:)

I felt it really needed a burst of color. Since it will be housed in my bookcase which is darker wood, it looked way too washed out with such a light background.

This little vignette is sitting on another Goodwill find. A big heavy thick wood tray. I love it. When I first saw it, I immediately thought I would paint it white, add a graphic and make it into a lazy suzan for my kitchen table.

Now, I'm not so sure.

I found these little leather bound books at Half Price Books. I love to collect old leather books! I was going to use them for a project that I will post about soon, but they didn't work out, so......they will stay with me for now!

Again, thank you for your comments and for stopping by,
