to learn about an alternate form of entry..
I thought I had, so I went and looked it up in Google Images, and actually, didn’t really find too much.A few pillows, some little jars and stuff, but not as much as I thought I would find.. Maybe it’s not such a big trend after all, but the few times I’ve seen the design used, it’s caught my eye.
So I took a few minutes and made my own!.I took an old metal bucket that I’d previously disfigured when I tried to paint it in a brown and white buffalo check a few years ago.That didn’t work out, but this one did!.
Step one was to paint a little beige craft paint where I wanted the cross.Once that was dry I made a little cross out of painter’s tape and stuck it over top.
I tried out Scott’s Blue tape on this one because they sent me a few rolls to try and it did the trick!.
Then I painted the whole thing with some Antique White craft paint and pulled off the tape..Let’s dig a picture out from a year ago.. Well, you can see the floor and the walls in this one.
So that was the before.. …and after!… or rather, during!.I feel better now, don’t you?
Whether it’s taken a whole year or not, that’s progress!We have a whole collection of old saws in our garage.Actually we had more last year, but I think Chris may have “de-cluttered” some of them.. I’ve been eyeing them up for the last year, secretly thinking I could steal them and use them inside in some kind of rustic, tool-inspired decorating extravaganza.
