Board & Batten Beautification

Started the Board & Batten project on Sunday. Took a break from it yesterday to celebrate my son Austin's 15th birthday! As you can see it goes up pretty fast and is very easy to do! I posted pics of what I have gotten done so far and will post more throughout the project. Today is MY birthday and I am going to stop here and celebrate with my family! Post soon! (The pics are out of order)

Vintage Locker Redo

I was out looking around the Charleston area and found out we have a Habitat for Humanity store! They had all sorts of goodies in there! Old doors and windows, furniture, lighting, kitchen cabinets, sinks etc. The first thing I noticed was an old vintage hospital locker sitting up against the wall, all by its self, that had 8 compartments (Lots of storage options for all those skateboards!). It was gray and dirty
And it was missing some locks. Nothing that couldn't be fixed! I checked the price and they wanted $50 for it. If you have ever looked at the prices for old or new lockers you would know that was a steal!! I took it home, cleaned it up, primed it and spray painted the vintage locker and gave it a pop of color for my son's skateboard room. He has gray walls and a brick graffiti wall that has some orange in it so I went with a bright orange spray paint. I am waiting on the replacement handles and locker number plates. I will post new pics when they come in and I get them installed. We also found some DC skateboard stickers we used on the locker from our Milton Flea Market (love that place!) Here is a photo!
