Top Shelf Clearance Challenge ~ May

Happy Monday, lovely friends!! I hope y’all had a lovely Mother’s Day weekend!

I am so excited for our monthly clearance challenge! Per usual, I waited until the very last minute to go out and search for some clearance items for this challenge. I was able to find a few things from Michael’s and Hobby Lobby.

From Michael’s, I found a little unfinished wooden drawer thing, and a darling terra-cotta pot. I love terra-cotta pots!The pot was originally $12, but it was 60% off, with an additional 20% off coupon, making it a little less than $4. And the little drawers were originally $10, but because it was missing three out of four knobs, I got it for just $3!

And, a sweet little cloche from Hobby Lobby….With these finds, I immediately thought spring/gardening.

For the drawers, I started by staining them a dark walnut color.

Then chalk painted them in white, and slightly distressed them…Added a coat of “moss” green chalk paint and some dark antiquing wax. To finish these little drawers off, I painted some little knobs, that I purchased from Hobby Lobby for $2.50.

Isn’t it such a darling little seed packet/plant marker organizer? I love spring, and love all thing flowers!!

And, of course, those tulips from my garden…LOVE!!

And now, onto the other blogs to see what amazing clearance finds they have all found! Just click on the links below…
