Ronda was psyched to buy this painting from the thrift-store. It was going to make a fabulous addition to her Castles On The Sea series that she had spent her whole life collecting. So, that’s a lie. She just liked the frame.
It had a little damage where the filigree had busted off, but she repaired that with a bit of spackling compound. Then she painted and glazed it, popped in some cork covered with a piece of a curtain from Target, and turned it into the classiest pinboard I’ve ever seen. See the whole story on her blog Batchelor’s Way.
But Ronda wasn’t done yet. She took her gray and silver inspiration straight up and gave her ceiling fan a makeover too. And not just any makeover, a stenciled makeover. But before you start worrying about the state of Ronda’s neck and back or attempt to do this yourself, please note that she removed the fan blades first! See more here.

I love your blog you have me drooling at every project. Maybe someday I can make a submission. I have a couple of projects in mind…
