An Everyday Item Made Exquisite


Happy Monday! We have the perfect creation to get you inspired for the whole week. Some would say altering and turning something mundane, or even old into a gorgeous maybe even functional piece of art is therapeutic and they would be right. On today's blog is a trash to treasure sort of project by Deb Edwards

And now it's time for Deb's gorgeous altered paint brush! The soft and shabby chic colors matched with the beautiful MB's Treasurista embellishments turns this simple paint brush into a luscious decor piece. Here is what Deb has to say

I have altered a 4" Paint Brush..
