Scrap wood wall decor

A friend gave me a bunch of old fence slats. She didn't know what to do with them but I was instantly inspired!

Since I live in Florida seashells are not hard to come by. I bought these shells at a local shell store and spraypainted them white. My husband cut the wood 2" wide x 10" long. I painted them and lightly distressed the edges. 

Here the back of the wood:

Here's each individual one:

  

TV Stand Update

I found this solid wood tv stand for $75 on Craigslist. It has a good structure and I knew it would be perfect for my vision of a new TV  stand. 

I started painting by using primer first and the. Two coats of high hiding white paint. I let the primer dry for a whole day and let the two coats of basic white dry a whole day. 

I bought new knobs from Hobby Lobby @ $4.99 each (why are knobs so expensive??):

I distressed the edges with my electric sander. And here's the finished product:

Not too shabby... (Shabby chic, that is...)

Chest of Drawers Makeover

I found this water damaged, heavy as crap, chest of drawers on the side of the road. It sat in my garage for two months before I touched it. I wasn't in love with HHR chest but you can't beat free! 

Painted it antique white:

I wasn't satisfied with it being plain white. So I painted an anchor on it. This stuff is really popular in my beach town. I think the anchor gives the boring chest a unique touch. 

Teal Dresser Makeover

I got this dresser for free. I'm not a fan of anything laminate but free is free! It's amazing what a few coats of paint can do.
