Vintage Travel Fence

While you are waiting, with bated breath, for the iron school desk project reveal, I will give you another hint.
I made this for my little baby man a few months ago, for his room. (He's so so cute.)
My husband got some old fence from his ex-girlfriend, and I didn't even mind. She sent him home with two large sections of it and two vintage windows! That is a good ex to have, huh? : )

I bought a poster on all posters, mod podged it onto the fence. Then, I sanded and glazed it, to make it look dingier.

I got the idea from a link on Miss Mustard Seed's blog. I can't find it anymore. If the author of it happens to be reading this, please let me thank you for the inspiration! I would love to share your name with the readers of this blog.

Anyway:


Your hint is this: My hubby and I will be using old fence wood with the wrought iron antique desk frame.

Soon, I will show you where it will go. Then, all of us must pray for a mutual day off between Michael and myself to put it all together!

I'm so excited to show you what we are making! Wish me luck!
