Project Time!

I have a highly talented brother who has built different things out of wood. For Christmas last year he made me, my sister, and his wife a magnetic bulletin board with a wood frame. He left it unpainted so I could paint it how I want. Well, due to my impatient nature (the reason I don't do many crafts) I started painting it the next day. Long story short, it was ugly and I DID NOT like it. It was a barn red color with a golden yellow underneath it. Now, seven months later, I finally got around to redoing it. I absolutely LOVE it! The painting is finished, but the decorating is not. Those pictures will come later on. Enjoy!
I used antique white and lavender! :)
I don't have pictures of it like it was before. I thought I did, but I can't find them. This is the antique white base. After this process I put crackle on top of it.

The finished product!! I plan on putting "Bell" at the top, and some clothespins at the bottom to hang our bills, mail, etc. I am so excited, and it looks so much better than before!!
