"Wood"n't it be nice....

Those who know me better understand that I am very much inspired to take old and repurpose, paint, spiff up or throw out (kidding) chairs, furniture, decorating has-beens.  A long time ago I bought a really cool wall art piece from a flea market.  I loved it ~ cool, greenish turquoise in color and cutouts that included a bird and flowers; quite unique.  One day the picture had mysteriously fallen from a shelf and split - right in half, well at like the 3/4 mark...I've held onto this piece for over 2 years thinking there has got to be a way to salvage it ~ enter Lilla's bootcamp! "Paint on wood" she says - what do you know? A trip to the basement later and many ideas/sketches/sanding hours later I have a work-in-progress that I think will go great in my son's room...
