Happy Wednesday Friends! I’m so excited to introduce you to a new monthly series I’m a part of. I’m teaming up with 5 other great bloggers and monthly we will be sharing Thrift Store Decor Makeovers! Inspiring you to rummage your thrift stores and transform the tossed aside into treasures. I’m a beach lovin’ girl so I’ve got a fun beachy shadowbox to share with you guys today.
Here’s what she looked like… not too bad for less than a buck!
First she needed a good cleaning.
Then I decided to brighten her up with some coral paint.
I painted the backing solid coral and then dry brushed some coral on the top sides.
I let it dry about an hour before dry brushing some white over the coral on the top side areas.
Once dry I added a starfish and seashells.
Then I wrote with a white chalkboard marker “Dream.”
A fun thrift store decor makeover! This beauty is going on a gallery wall in the works in one of daughter’s rooms.
Now there’s some other great Thrift Store Decor Makeovers for you to check out from these great ladies…

February 25, 2015 at 6:07 amI love this Maryann. Coral is my new fav color and anything beachy catches my eye. Wish I was on the beach now instead of in the deep freeze!! Did you use chalk paint? Thanks for the idea and for joining the team!
