Fancy Nails
My dad is a Vice President at the Bank of Fayetteville, and so when they start new branches, he is occasionally asked to go out and prepare the site, check the building over, etc.. When the bank recently purchased the Fancy Nails's salon in Farmington, my dad went out to see what needed to be done. The salon is going to have to be gutted to make room for what the bank wants. My dad, knowing that I love a good project, consulted with my mother who asked him to save the ceiling tiles. We have seen some adorable paintings done on tiles at the Clothesline Fair. In fact, my friend Lyndsey has one in her nursery and she paid good money for it. My parents came over today and stacked the tiles in our garage. There are lots and lots more, and my mom has the rest in her garage. I can't wait to try one out!

I saw these a long time ago at a Flea Market in Brinkley. LOVED THEM and always had that tucked away in my "someday project" file. One of the ones I saw had a feather boa glued around the edges-SO CUTE. I may have to steal a celing tile when we come back to AR next time!
ReplyDeleteWe have one in Jordan's room from the Clothesline fair...and it was not cheap! I can't wait to see what you create!
ReplyDeleteNow that is recycling!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a neat find! I cannot wait to see what you create with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I can just imagine Les asking to keep the ceiling tiles!! Can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteI've made some of those before. They are fun to do. They also make really cute boards to pin stuff up (like the old cork boards we used to use).
ReplyDeleteI did get your Christmas card. Very cute! You are so creative. I wish I could do half of what you do.
Oh that is SO cute!! I need one of those for Ella's room.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. Those tiles are a wealth of possibilites! How fun! And judging from the painting you did, they will be adorable! I've been toying with the idea to paint various "coffee" pictures for my kitchen, that might be cute on the tiles! Oh, and I love the feather boa idea!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I love that the nursery has a frog picture in it. I've always wanted to do a nursery in frogs. I guess I should get married first, then pregnant, then I can plan a nursery! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ceiling tile art. I've seen them at craft fairs and you're right--they are NOT cheap. You should rent a booth at the next craft fair. The stuff you do is way cuter than most of the things people sell there.
ReplyDeleteJessica-
ReplyDeleteI have one in Calloway's nursery that I got at the clothesline fair this year. I love it! I think I paid $20 for it. Not bad at all...
Ok, so you'll have to save one for me to come by and pick up next time we are in Fay. ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYes I use them as bullitin boards too!! And I can't wait to see either what ya paint!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! What a special gift to recieve!
ReplyDeleteI am officially convinced that you are Martha Stewart's offspring..esp after seeing your homeade Xmas cards!
You are my inspiration!
