G'day.
After the scorcher yesterday, we awoke this morning to cooling drizzly rain and grey skies.
The dinner went well, a nice evening, we didn't get to bed til 1am.
We've been down the beach for the morning and this evening we have other lovely friends over and guess what, I'm doing exactly the same meal as last night, save swapping out the chicken for pork.
Anyway, thought, I'd tease you with a 'before' post.
Any takers for what this pink tinged frame I found was turned into?
Yes lurkers that means you have to hit the comment button 
And no that is not chalkboard paint…
And that, my friends is it for now, I will see you all bright and early tomorrow for another week of Beach Cottage tales…?
I may well have another giveaway, I am peculiarly into that…
See you next time…
Ok, I confess, I am a lurker. Been following your blog in my reader for a while now
Love it by the way, especially being a fellow Aussie.
So my guess… if it isn’t chalkboard paint, could it be magnetic paint? Maybe a magnetic message board?
Bec
Mmh intriguing! Is it a backsplash for the kitchen maybe?
Nadine
I’m clueless. But, it’s early and I’m still on coffee #1.
hmm so maybe a frame for mixed pieces of vintage lace or your crotchet collection … maybe just show us
best le
I think the magnetic paint was a good guess, but I reckon it could also be a photo collage board??
Catch ya!
Same as Suzann above clueless and #1 cup of java. lol.
Really no idea! I can only guess it’s the first coat of something and it will not stay that color? like I said no idea!
I really have no idea – one of those subway art signs (that’s what it would be if it was going into my house)? I haven’t even had coffee #1 yet so maybe I’ll come up with something later.
I think that you loved the shape and you not sure yourself
Suspense !!
I have no clue!!! Hmmm … I think the magnetic paint is a good call. Or your going to paint “Dell from Hell” on it and hold it up at public events? (Kidding!)
Aaaaargh! That chair again! I’m planning a robbery, keep it in mind. The least you can do to prevent it is to tell more bout where such chairs are found/how they are made.
i love your aesthetic. i could never get away with so much white (i have four dogs), but i love being able to enjoy your serene white space. thank!
a tray? looking forward to seeing it!
Hmm, the magnetic paint sounds like it could be a possibility, or the tray idea. I was thinking that maybe you “back” painted the glass to create a matte for a piece of artwork?
I’m no good at this guessing stuff…sometimes even the obvious eludes me!
Kat
I have no clue unless you are sing the black to make it look older and will fade it away after… I have not seen many black in your house so I just be patiend and will wait wat comes out of it.
The thing like it is now is pretty as well!
have a good week.

G’Day~ To funny Lurkers…….My daughter calls me a blog creeper.I tell her that’s what it’s there for us creepers who are very curious creatures.
I’m excited to see what your new Treasure is.I will be lurking in the shadows.LOL
Enjoy~Kim
Were you just teasing us with all that black paint cause it looks like a chalk board idea. Only I’m guessing that you aren’t planning on leaving the frame black…just using it as a base color for antiquing. Too flat to be a tray so I’m gonna go either chalk board or collage art with something vintage over the black background.
Jan
The first thing that came to my mind was magnetic paint!
Can’t wait!!!! The softness of the framed lady in white image is so romantic.
I need more clues??
What did you do with the art work?
Off to have coffee #1.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
hmm, not sure as I perversely like the picture as it was
Mind you my head isn’t on very well today – dreaded lurgy trying to get control!
mmmmmmm no idea, look forward to more clues!
I love the picture and frame as is, and I cannot think what you would turn it into. Guess I will have to come back tomorrow.
I am intrigued as the rest of the other girls….hurry up & share!!!
Sarah
Oh my! I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the black paint over that beautiful picture!! Oh I’m still hyperventilating!!! AARRGHHHHH!!!
I’m not sure. I’ve been a lurker and wanted to break that habit. It was pretty the way it was, but I’m sure you’ve got something wonderful up your sleeve. Thank you for helping me step out from behind the screen.
Hmm I’m thinking one of those bus scroll signs that are very cool at the moment .I want one myself.
Guilty as charged. Lurked here! I will take a guess that u will make a bulletin board. I think you black things make a great contrast in limited amounts. Love all your ideas.
Intriguing guesses but I have no idea.
Just wanted to say how gorgeous your beach shots are! My god, I so want to be there! Look at those waves! I’m green with envy!
Hmmm, I’m going for one of those trendy signs with bus/train/subway destinations. I’m sure whatever you do will be stunning. Love your blog.
Ooooooooh I know what you are doing Sarah…your gonna turn it into a bus blind with beachy destinations…..Im right I know I am…because I CHEATED & read your last post first….Bahahahahaha
Hope your have a great day girl & that your weather is a tad cooler than up here…
Lyn xxx
Not a clue
Alison
Well…since I hadn’t ever heard of a bus blind before I couldn’t have been more wrong with my guess. I do like what you’ve done with that frame and picture. Yet another great idea for the beach cottage!

Just when I had decided to go completely with white and tan decor, you throw in black! Looks awesome and I shamelessly hope to copy it!
Somehow I don’t think Canadian beach spots will make the grade…might have to be a pretend Aussie on this one or even a Californian. 
Hi Sarah as usual I am blown away by how clever you are. I to have coveted one of these. I will have a go not that confident though. Did you print onto black paper? Keep up the great work!!!
Regards,
Theresa.(ps happy Australia day from a little South Aussie)
