If you haven't heard of Rae Dunn you may not be a farmhouse style fan. This uber popular line of kitchen decor is so simple yet so classic. Bright white with crisp black narrow font gives a universal appeal to almost any style kitchen. Follow me as I take a solid wood bread box and give it a "Rae Dunn" inspired makeover.

These solid wood bread boxes can be found everywhere but they are just so boring and generic. The simple smooth styling however is perfect for the inspired makeover I have in mind.
I first taped off the inside edges wanting to leave the interior the natural wood finish. I am excited to try my new 2" angled Fusion paint brush as well on this project.
Using Fusion Mineral paint in picket fence, a crisp white, I applied 3 coats. White is notorious for requiring more coats for an opaque coverage. After each coat I lightly sanded to keep a soft smooth surface.
Now to add the Rae Dunn inspiration; I used Word on my computer to create the word Bread in a skinny font. This template was traced onto the painted bread box then carefully hand drawn with a black sharpie oil pen and it was complete! What do you think? Would it work in your kitchen?
