Another Sea Shell Before & After

It's a Keeper

I've been in create overdrive this weekend trying to get prepared for my first holiday sale coming up in 2 weeks, yikes :-#

I found the most fabulous mirror recently at the Goodwill.

I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time to snag this baby.  It's big, about 3 feet from top to bottom.  I think it's pretty retro fabulous as is.  The price was insane.  Can you read it here on the glass?

My intention was to cover this with seashells and take it to my first holiday sale and hopefully cash it in for some big bucks.

 

But now that it is on my wall it's not going anywhere.  

Garden Sea Shell Chair

I can't believe I actually put this old chair out to the curb. I did just that last week then took the terrier for her walk.

I got this years ago in NJ at an estate sale.  I removed the old cane seat and started to strip it.  Then I completely lost interest in restoring it so it has been sitting neglected in the attic.

But while I was walking the neighborhood it struck me that I should find some way to recycle that chair and keep it out of the land fill.  Then the sea shells came to mind.  Definitely an aha moment.

First thing I coated the chair with my new best friend, Spray Kilz Primer.  Can't tell you how much I love this stuff.

Next I painted the chair a pretty seaside blue using exterior paint.

Next I applied a lot of pretty shells using my fav glue, E6000. 

Using landscape fabric I made a seat, filled it with potting mix and flowers.

Sea shells make everything better. 

So next time, don't kick it to the curb, whatever it is. 

Glue some shells to it :->
