Thrift Shop Farmhouse Decor
4 Materials
My friend saw the potential in the ugly pear "basket" thing at the thrift store and she was totally right! Now I LOVE it as farmhouse decor in my home.
Here is the before. My friend Peggy told me to look beyond the ugly and I did. But look at the huge pear and the weird handle.
I painted the wood with a white chalk paint and left the metal sides alone. It is a special chalk like paint mix that I used on my farmhouse ipad/recipe book holder I love that thing.
After the black chalk paint was dry I sanded it to make it look old and distressed then added the creme wax finish and buffed with a soft cloth when it was completely dry.
What do you think? I added some fall foliage and pumpkins from Hobby Lobby for now but I think it could be a storage box, a pen holder, or anything else I want.
