Flea Market Flip - Mail Holder

S & I did an impromptu trip to Maine in Fall '14, and had an amazing time staying at an Airbnb farmhouse. On our way back - we stopped at a Flea Market. Digging through layers of throw-away items to find a treasure that speaks to you has got to be the most exhilarating feeling ever!

I found this mail holder for $1, and a pair of candle holders for $4. The mail holder was too plain and simple, and was sure to get a makeover one of the weekends. It took until Spring '15 for me to flip the flea find! Before and after pictures are below..

Some glue all, pebbles from Dollar Tree, stencils and paints were all that were required to turn the plain mail holder into something that fit with the rest of my home! The mail holder got a coat of brown paint, the sides were glued and lined with pebbles and the front panels got some designs using stencils. In less than 30 minutes - the flea market find was flipped !
