I got this ugly duckling for $10 bucks at our DI, thrift store.
All heavy and ugly.... I decided to paint him white!
I unscrewed the large, unusually heavy "stop sign" from the base...
And found a 24 inch round at Lowe's...
Here in this section
Yup... good fit!
I had started painting it right out of the package and then shortly after realized that it needed some sanding, because there were a lot of little imperfections.
After I finished painting the top, with about 3 coats of Semi-gloss white, I screwed the base back on... and I was finished!

Working as a full time Mom and running a growing vinyl business from home, I have found a new appreciation for the beauty and upkeep of my home! And as each day goes by, and a new project gets done, the phrase "Love the Space You're In" becomes more and more meaningful to me! I often try to find new fun ways to update, change, and decorate our "space" on a budget. There's something to be said about finishing a great project in your home, all on your own, looking back, and saying to each other... "WE did that !!!"
