Boho Cork Board
My eldest daughter had a corkboard growing up that I think she thought was a dry erase board seeing all the messages written all over it in marker. She is all grown up now and it is time for the corkboard to get a well deserved makeover. Soft shades of grey and pink with a few pretty touches and it looks nothing like before.
Here it is after its life with doodly teens before the internet :)
Step 1 wipe clean and apply 2 coats of white Dixie Belle BOSS a couple hours apart to block the marker ink then left 24 hours to dry.
Dixie Belle silk paint in baja gray was brushed on using the flat medium Dixie Belle synthetic brush. I included the solid wood frame for a soft subtle look.
Over this soft gray Dixie Belle silk paint in conch was applied over the harlequin Dixie Belle stencil .
It was moved to completely cover the cork. Using the Dixie Belle sanding sponge The surface was sanded to give a worn appearance and the edges of the wooden frame were distressed and sanded as well.
Parts of the boho Dixie Belle transfer were cut out and rubbed in place.
The last step to add depth, dimension and further age was to apply brown Dixie Belle's best dang wax around the edges using a Dixie Belle chip brush.
And here it is with a whole new look. What do you think?
