This weeks project was spur of the moment and turned out to be my favorite one to date!
I saw these chippy looking peg boards on Pottery Barn and fell in love. With the price tag of $49 and $149 then I knew I could only dream of owning one.
Aren't they wonderful!
I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up a pre-made peg board and some crackle finish that works with acrylics.
My 3 year old even got to help me on this one. We put a base coat of a weathered gray color then some random spots of pure black. (all acrylics)
I then applied the crackle finish randomly as well and let it get tacky. I mixed up my own color of white by adding a bit of brown and started painting over the whole thing. As the paint became a little dry then I scratched, rubbed, sawed (with a plastic knife) and poked at it to get the right look.
The whole project took maybe an hour and my total investment was $6.50! I can't wait to hang this up in the pool house someday soon.
*Update Picture*
We use it every day! Don't know what I would do without it. (yes it was cleared of all its garish swim trunks for this photo;-)
