~thrifty thursday~{equestrian inspired}

 I bought this wood horse cutout at a flea market about a year ago for around $5.00.

I immediately painted over it because someone had painted silly white eyeballs 

on it among other things. 

I finally decided to do something with it, so here you go......

First up, I painted the horse again, both sides with chalkboard paint.

{the spray chalk paint works well too}

 Then off to the salvage yard I went and picked up 2 wood pieces 

{refer to the first picture} 

 and married them

 with my nail gun and some wood glue.

Wait for a sunny day, throw on some cream spray paint, and distress.

 4 eye hooks strategically placed......

and some black chain, and we have a double sided sign that would be so cute hanging from a barn or any room for that matter for a horse lover.

 I just have it propped up for taking the photos......

 And the other side.

Hoping this will inspire you to create something fun yourself!
