What Else Can I Paint?

 

Mrs Renee has an old wooden ironing board that has been in her family for ages.  We both saw a post on Pinterest about painting them with chalkboard paint.  She isn't sure she wants to do that or not (actually I think Mr. John doesn't want it painted).  I have been green with envy!  So last weekend when Denise and I went on up north to see the Amish countryside, we just happened in a little shop on the side of the road to ask directions (yes, I do that and I am not ashamed to admit it) and this tired old ironing board was leaning up against the building in a cute little display.  I jumped on it.  It could have been a million dollars (I got it for $10 and change) and it still would have made it's way into my van.  The old buckets are from Mark's Dad.  The little pumpkin showed up growing in the hosta bed this spring.  The acorn squash was in our CSA box from Cedarmore Farm this week.  And that is my awesome rooster for the henhouse when it comes in the spring.  The acorn squash in front of it is actually covering a huge hole that happened last week when I was blowing the leaves off the driveway.  I'm loving it.  I can change it every week if I want!  And who know what will get painted with chalkboard paint next!
