DIY REDO

This canvas I painted last spring to go in our den, it was a painting I had gotten at rooms-to-go years ago that was in my attic being unused....so of course I spray painted it.  I decided to repaint it this weekend to go in our spare bedroom.

I wanted a really basic design on it this time, I am using it as somewhat of a headboard in our spare bedroom. The room has a retro mod feel to it.

1. I spray painted it one neutral color or you can prime it (I did not have primer)

2. Covered canvas in one of two colors I was using 

 3. I used painters tape to tape off stripes (remember area you tape off will remain base color)


Finished Stripes

4. Covered canvas with second color

FINISHED!!

Vintage Melmac Dinnerware

Melmac dishes are durable plastic dinnerware that gained popularity in the 1940s and 1950s. 

They are made from a Melamine resign and came in many bright colors, pastels and even some prints. Several Popular brands were Texas Ware, Boonton, Branchell, and Raffia Ware.

Because these dishes were so tough many of these sets are still around today for your enjoyment. They can be found at local thrift stores and flea markets for very reasonable prices. I have several sets myself and love them.
