a numbered farmhouse basket
Posted on 9:37 AM by follow me
When I found this basket at the thrift store it was plain and boring--but I loved it's shape and size. (Sorry I forgot to take a before pic.)
I gave it a white washing with a little paint and added some numbers using homemade stencils. (My husband and I celebrated our 16th anniversary this year!)
I think the white wash and number give it a more aged look, and adds a bit of farmhouse charm I'm going for in my home.

This basket now sits near my back door, and currently holds badminton rackets, frisbees, and tennis balls--come winter, it will hold boots.

See what paint and a little bit of your time can do?
No go forth and primp!
