The Transformation


I have had this bread box for a couple of years.  Although I love the Morning Glories, it has some pretty rough rust spots in places and is a little too shabby for my kitchen.  So I brought out the big guns and went to work.


Drumroll please...


A few coats later, the addition of some strategically placed wear-and-tear spots, some vintage decals and I have exactly the bread box that I had been envisioning.  If you google vintage decals you'll find some really neat sites.


I've got a lot of paint left over.  I'm wondering what else I can paint pink today?  Have a great Thursday!

Joyfully,

    Love your bread box transformation! I especially love the 'worn' spots. Isn't painting metal things fun? I painted a few things last summer & like you, found myself on the look-out for what else I could paint next! :o) Have fun!

    The thing I love about this makeover is that it still looks vintage, but a better vintage. It is adorable!
