I wanted to paint a brown basket
today and give it a French Flair.
I painted it with a pink color (Behr Ultra paint and primer) that was on the discounted
rack at Home Depot. Couldn't read the name.
I stamped it once with my
alphabet stamps and black ink.
I had to fill the letters in because of the pattern on the basket. I used a black acrylic paint.
This is the area before.
Love my antiques.
The old bottle adds that French Market look.
The end result is exactly
what I wanted on my fireplace.
Love your big ole bottle and your Paris basket. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the look. xox

ReplyDeleteI marvel that you could be daring and just paint a big basket like that. I would not have the courage. I admire your pluck and the fact that you made it into something so very cool. I know, it's only a basket, but I'm like that, afraid to take a chance. It looks so lovely, especially with the lettering and the large bottle beside it. Thanks for stopping by Quirky Vistas and leaving me a nice note, Jody. So sweet.

ReplyDeleteCame over from DIY Dreamer to see this basket. I just finished painting one of these white, but now I think a color might be better. Love anything pink and "Frenchy". Thanks for the push to finish a project!

What a pretty idea.... Pink is so nice to have around, it is soft, cheery and girly! I have a picnic basket just like this one, love antiques and shopping around at garage sales and when I get a chance at antique shops. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Have a great week.

Love that picnic basket and how your made it look so much prettier. I have several of those baskets so will decide which one I'll use, paint it possibly a lovely aqua and put the Paris with wreath on it. Can hardly wait now to do this. Thanks for great idea. I'm a new subscriber.
