In case you don't know yet, to make your own chalkboard paint for a fraction of the price, you just add about 2 tablespoons Plaster of Paris to 1 cup of flat black paint. Pretty simple! |
Would anyone ever know that little duckies once quacked away behind those little labels?? |
I can't even wrap my brain around what an amazing makeover this is!! Loving your comments on the ducks...LOL! Well done!!

These turned out great! Now I want to find some old ugly canisters to redo! :)
ReplyDeleteKammy,
ReplyDeleteHi, just found you over at I Heart Naptime. The tired canisters look very nice and I'm glad you posted the makeover.
Just FYI those aren't ducks; they're geese. The pattern is called Marmalade and it was all the rage in the late eighties and early nineties. My mother had done her kitchen in this pattern as best she could with no money. She stenciled peach hearts along the top of the kitchen walls and found plates with similar hearts on them. She found glass canister jars with this pattern on it that she could afford. If the money was available she would have wall papered and had nearly every accessory made with the Marmalade design.
Hope I haven't bored you too much.

ReplyDeleteI am in love with these! Great job. I'm laughing about the ducks since my BFF and I were just talking about the 80s ducks and asking "what were we thinking?" Thanks for inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! I love them! Thank you for the tip! I did not know about paint and plaster of Paris. You learned something new everyday! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletegreat transformation! I think we all had ducks in some kind of form if we were old enough to decorate in the 80's!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! And you did it for next to nothing! I am super impressed!
ReplyDeleteI will no longer scoff at the weird wooden thrift store containers covered in geese!
