We are so excited to have inherited a really cool old bar that my husband's grandfather built years ago. I am a bit surprised that it actually blends nicely into our home, despite the fact that we took it out of a Bass Lake cabin. It provides a great spot to decorate. For a few days I just sat and stared at it from across the room. It is really big and heavy looking, so I knew I needed some smaller items to help break up the "massiveness" of its weight. I finally decided to use some chalkboards that I have. I wrote some fun sayings on them. They of course were too small on their own so I added a few empty frames that I have been collecting.
To fill in one of my blank spots I glued 3 small shells, that I had collected this past summer, to an open frame. I hung the frame from a long piece of twine. I love all of the textures - the mix of glittery gold with matte black and rough twine. That's me; one part rustic, one part shinny and one part simple!
