Lately I have been going to an auction on Tuesday nights. They sell everything from glassware, to coins, to collectibles, to furniture. There is a wide assortment of people who attend - some even have reserved seats!
It is so easy to get caught up in the bidding - and can be very exciting! I bought this old sled the other night and knew exactly what I could do with it:
A little paint, a little MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check "doodling" and this is how it turned out:
It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas, so I decorated the sled with holiday greens and a striped bow:
I also bought a few pieces of furniture to paint - so stay tuned to see how I transform them!

I bought a sled and am planning on decorating it for Christmas but I know mine won't be even close to as cute as yours is. I love the check, was it really difficult?
ReplyDeletePatti, I love it! I'm going to fill my checked wheelbarrow with Christmas greens. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThat came out beautifully! I passed up a vintage sled at a recent garage sale and now I'm kicking my self!

Hi Patti! Oh, I love what you've done with the sled - it's darling! Honey, you're good! It will be so sweet at Christmas time. Heck, poke a pun'kin on it and use it for Halloween.

This came out amazing! I'd love that at my front door. The perfect accent for winter and Christmas time. Patty
ReplyDeleteO I need to find a sled .....in Texas...yes we do on occassion...love this idea
ReplyDeleteLove it, Patti! But I'm sure you knew I would say that! : ) Our local antique mart has so many sleds. I remember looking in NY and not being able to find any {except for a baby one I found at a garage sale}.
ReplyDeleteYou have stolen my heart with this one. Wouldn't something like this look so cool next to my MC Christmas tree? Drooling!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeletePati, this is really great! I love it! I bet your house at Christmas is full of wonderful touches such as this sled...........Sarah
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, you must dream in black and white checks!
