The mail holder that I picked up at the local antique mart has had its makeover.
I was going to use Old White chalk paint but it was very difficult to get my hand and a brush down into the inside of this piece, so Heirloom White spray paint it is!
Two coats and then I added an image to the front.
A Paris address, which I thought was fitting for a mail holder.
Here it is holding my outgoing mail. Do you like my stamps?
Another item to add to the growing Holiday Market pile!

I sure wish I could come to your holiday market. I'd probably by out your booth and you could go home early..
Love it ~!
How cute. I love it's Paris touch. Great idea. I also love the little chest in your previous post. Way too cute. Hugs, Marty
Love this cutie project Kathy! It really turned out great.
It looks great, Kathy! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

It turned out great Kathy!
Kathy~ this is completely wonderful! Well done. Another piece rescued.
I just finished my first ASCP piece. It is a key box that I will keep in the laundry room. I wanted to add "Key to my heart" to the front and who better to ask how to do this than the stencil/applique queen. (That's you.:)
Did you have a tutorial post? I didn't see it on your side bar.
You will of COURSE be given credit when I reveal it on the blog. :)
Oh Kathy! That is so pretty! I really like the colors and the lettering on the front!
Awesome job!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!

So cute, Kathy! This is a great project! I love the French lettering on the front!
Love it! It came out great! I'd be surprised if someone does not snatch that up in minutes. And yes, I do love your stamps. ;)

Adorable Kathy.
Beautiful job, as always. Heirloom white and AS old white are nearly the identical color. I have used the spray paint many times when it's just too hard to use a brush. It was my favorite before chalk paint.
This is perfect and I love the French touch. Fabulous.

This turned out great! The lettering on the front completes it, like it was meant to be!

Nice touch, Kathy..Love the lettering
You did a great makeover on that piece. The address on front is the perfect addition!
Kathy, that looks great! You are really putting together some nice things for your show. You will do well! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Gail
That is so pretty! It's amazing what some paint & an image can do to tranform something.
That is so perfect!!! That is how I make the decision often too....Can I reach my hand in?
