Chicken Wire Message Center
I really can't help myself...
I think it's a problem...
No... not the coffee. And not a real problem, problem... more like a creative problem.
An "I can't see things for what they are" kind of problem.
I'm always messing with things... "What else can I turn this into?"
This morning instead of putting the top back on that basket of coffee... I decided it needed to be something else.
Come on... I'm sure you think the same thing at 6 in the morning....
So I did...
Turned it into something else.
Today... before I even finished my coffee.
Yep, the top of that coffee basket is now a rockin' message center.
(and the coffee basket has no top)
The first thing I did, after I made myself a cup of coffee that is...
was to find a frame in the WORKSHOP.
I had an antique frame insert with old fabric tape on it... I gave it a quick coat of milk paint.
When the frame dried I turned it over and screwed the chicken wire basket top into the frame.
Then I cut a piece of chalkboard... yes, you can buy chalkboard already made, see it HERE
I stained small clothespins with THIS SOLUTION to give them an aged look.
They will be used to clip memos and photos to the chicken wire.
A small piece of wood was painted black and attached to the frame to hold chalk.
So I do really think something is wrong with me...
I have no idea why I just can't sit down with a cup of coffee and watch the morning news...
It's a cool project I will admit.
And I will sell it in MY SHOP in no time...
So I guess there really isn't too much of a problem...
As long as the coffee holds out.
