My yellow bowl....

Gosh don't I love an easy quick DIY project

I stumbled across this gorgeous little makeover on Becky Higgins blog....
 it uses an old pot...and some spray paint....
and the best bit was.....I happened to have both on hand.

(I'm just adding in that I bought my pot from a garage sale a few months ago.....its a brass pot....and had already started to turn that antique looking green tarnish in spots.
It had sat on the outdoor table for weeks....it had become a collecting spot for important outdoor things .....like the hose fittings.....matches for the candles.....
and all those little things the girls tend to put in their mouths.)

Anyway......the makeover..... I'm so ecstatically happy with it....
(although looking at Beckys again I think a little more distressing would be even better)


and my inspiration....
Beckys gorgeous version.

  3. It's fabulous Mardi. At first I wasn't sure which one was yours or Becky's. Good job. Did you have to treat the pot before you painted it? I have a brass one in my bathroom which would look great done like that. Fabulous. xx
