Happy Tuesday everyone!
I am currently taking my Re-finishing 101. I am not talking about attending a home economics class. I am talking about DIY refinishing and refurbishing some stuff around the house like this flower basket I bought from a thrift store.
Before
After
I had nowhere to put my magazines, so the moment I saw this basket in it's state, I saw the possibility for magazine rack!
The red color did not appeal to me, so I painted it white.
I decided to decorate it with burlap, wrap the handles with hemp string, and painted the word Paris!
Now, I have to back to my big project. Off to work I go!
Have a wonderful day!
I cannot believe the before and after! You have a wonderful eye for decorating! Good job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful renovation of the magazine box, simply lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Always, Queenie
Cute, cute, cute, Myric! Congrats for seeing beyond what was, to what could be! Can't wait to hear about your big project:)

Sweet! I love it! I have been keeping my eye out lately for something to repurpose as a magazine rack, too.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely! Although I love red, I have to say I like it in the new form better. Light, bright and ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very impressive makeover. I would not have thought of all that. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the white with burlap and twine (my 3 faves!!)!!!
