My lunch hour makeover
I should have been making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, but instead I was painting my mantel
I should have been eating my doritos but instead I was distressing over two coats of Old White Chalk paint
I should have been eating my fruit instead of admiring how beautiful the mantel turned out
I should have showed you what it looked like before I started
I should show you how it looks all dressed up for fall

Gorgeous, Laura … awesome distressing! I love how it (and your fabulous Fall decor) pop against your beautiful fireplace! I would've skipped pb&j to do that, too!
Love! Great job and what a transformation! Love, Me

Thanks for sharing and by the way…your decorations are awesome!!! sending hugs and so sorry that I have been a bit mia but trying to get back on track!!! have a great one!!!
I love it! I'm anxious to see the entire room… the pop of white is so pretty.
