To secure it, I attach using my stash of upholstery tacks I’ve salvaged from past upholstery projects. How about that label? I created the design myself and then reverse print it on iron-on transfer paper. Talk about yummy! Here’s my vintage ice cream bucket ready with it’s new story and perfect to suit my style. However, we make ice cream a few times a week from the raw milk we get from our local farmer. I actually can’t tolerate much dairy, so I’m not a fan of ice cream from a dietary stance. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!! haha. I didn’t stop there, but let me show you the end result first before I explain. Isn’t it fun?!? I’m not finished yet, though…hang on! Then, as soon as the paint cures, I apply two different waxes, both brown and black to give an aged appeal. You can see how I’ve used this same color on an antique wash stand, a table, and a butter churn. In addition, you can use petroleum jelly, as I did in this chest of drawers makeover.Īfter that, I apply a teal blue paint to give a one-coat wash over the wood sections. Next, I use my old candle to wax areas that I want to look aged. Notice I’m brushing onto the bucket as well to create a sort of patina where in normal age, the metal would have bled onto the wood. First, I break out this antique bronze metallic paint to go over the wire rails. For me, though, it needs a refresh to give it more of a story. Not only is the bucket wood in great shape, but it also holds together beautifully.
VINTAGE ICE BUCKETS FULL
Even my home is full of mixed woods, and very few painted pieces. Yes, I’m a lover of all things natural wood which is why I’ve kept it in it’s original state for so many years. Today’s the day it gets a new life and makeover to make it more my style.
However, since then it’s been waiting for a new home.
eep! I’ve used it in my home before we remodeled our family room. I pulled it off the curb during our city spring clean-up nearly 10 years ago. However, reality is just that…reality and I am purging my stash of goodies. Do you ever hang onto something, saving it for just the right time? Sadly, if you will, I’ve hung onto many things waiting for the chance to move out into the country.
