I got my grubby little hands on a load of 80 year old planks from an old veranda.
Some time this afternoon was spendt a bit of time removing some old nails so I could use the wood for all kinds of fun things ( I'm thinking frames for stitcheries, bird houses and many more ideas)
Having been biten by the stencil bug I thought I should try and sand one of the boards back enough to stencil on it ( THICK layer of green paint on the boards) and see how that would turn out. I must say I like it! It will need to be prim-ed up a bit more, but we'll have to wait with that til the paint is dry.
A lot more nails to remove and some more sanding to do too, may have to leave that for J to do, as I did notice a few spider egg sacks on a few planks, and I'm not going anywhere near those!!

Hi there Jazy!
So glad you stopped by my blog.
In answer to your question...that cupboard of mine does not float and if I thought it would I'd anchor it down so it wouldn't go anywhere. Ha!
I just love it!
I enjoyed reading your blog!

Can't wait to see what you come up with....have fun. Dianntha
