Quickie in the kitchen! {Country french}..NEWBIE party started!

First, many thanks for your engaging in my thought provoking question! Always nice to hear other's opinions and thoughts!

Now onto my quickie...

I found a picture in my archives from long long ago.

This is how my kitchen first looked when blogging...

bad camera as you can see.

See the spoon and fork there on the wall?

 Well, they needed a lift.
The new color I chose for the makeover was Annie Sloans Chalk paint, in Old white.
I painted, distressed them and hung them in a new place.

Here is a current snap of today's look in the kitchen...

These shots are just neat because of the shadows and the crows...

Upcycling a wood pallet, DIY project FREE!

Oh, I would say a few months back, while I was browsing the garden section at Lowes,

 I spied a wood pallet near their trash.  

I asked the cashier if I could have it. 

 She said sure, and then asked why? 

I said I am going to do something with it, but I have no clue yet! 

She laughed and gladly handed it over to me.

It took me until today to figure out just what I was doing with it!

Old white, Annie Sloan paint in hand,

dark wax,

some craft paints, and I was good to go!

First, I cleaned it real good with some simple green.

Next, I painted it Old White.

Next, process after drying, 

I took these two color craft paints, an old rag and just ragged those colors on.

I then sanded it, and put the dark wax on.

Hey with cows all the rage now, I just so happened to have these pretty cheese plates for years now..

They used to be displayed around my kitchen window.

I had that look for a long while, but it needed a change.

This pallet took on such an aged appearance. 

 I love the hints of red, copper and dark wax coming through.

Makes a perfect little display shelf.

Paired up with my $3.00 Goodwill table...I would say I done good!

Have a great day gals!

Hope you get in on my burlap giveaway
