Mini Cutting Board Makeover

Good Morning Everyone! 
Hope you had a lovely weekend.  I took the day yesterday to catch up on some house cleaning and make sure the yard is ready for the first snow of the season.  Apparently is coming in later today - - excitement is high around here.  The first snow is always much anticipated.

I have a quick project to share today that was very fun for me.  Last week I came across an old cutting board at the thrift store.  It was starting to split at the bottom and looked well used but the shape was classic and I liked it's small size. 

I thought it was the perfect way to add another cow silhouette to my decor.


After allowing the paint to dry, I heavily distressed the design.  I really like the way all the knife marks show through.

It's also the perfect size for the tiny wall next to the kitchen window above the sink.


Don't you just love quick and easy - - not to mention CUTE!

Talk to you soon,

    Hush you, there will be no snow for us today! I'm not ready for that.

    What a cute little project this is Robin, and you're right, easy is good.

    So cute!!! I have a little cutting board I found for $1.00 and I've been wanting to apply something to it. I just can't decide what to put on it!
