DIY Farmhouse Decor

Before and After· DIY Projects

15 Jan

Most of our date nights consist of stopping at Goodwill.  You never know what you are going to find, and the thrill of the hunt is what I enjoy the most.  There are so many times I pick up something and Bill says ” what are you going to do with that?” To be honest, I rarely know! I found this bike on one of our trips.  It looked sad, you can even see the dust on it. After sitting in the closet for awhile, I finally figured it was time to transform this treasure! I love Farmhouse decor, some say it’s a fade, I disagree!

FARMHOUSE DECOR

Let the transformation begin!

I definitely had to clean it up. I always seem to have spray paint on hand, so I pulled the can out and went outside to make this bike over. The color I used was Heirloom, I love this color if you are looking for a farmhouse white.  It’s just subtle enough and has a creamy white look.

Before painting it, I removed the basket. I had a different idea for it to give me the farmhouse decor I was looking for.  It took about 3 coats to completely cover the brown.  It’s important to spray lightly to avoid drips.  Don’t rush the process… don’t ask me how I know.

While the paint was drying, I went to work on the basket.  This basket was in good shape.  I decided it needed something to make it even better.  I had some wide burlap ribbon so I glued the ribbon over the edge.  This was a simple addition to the basket that took nothing but some ribbon and hot glue.

So we are almost there… just one more touch…the cotton stems! Cotton stems are a staple in Farmhouse decor.  It couldn’t have been easier, I had some floral foam in the craft room, I cut it to fit the basket.  Then all I did was clip the stems and arranged them in the basket.

This project was so easy to put together with supplies I had on hand! If you enjoyed this DIY you may enjoy this DIY Farmhouse Wreath

Now friends, I know how busy a life of a crafter is, so PIN IT for later so when you are ready you can use this for inspiration!

I would love to know in the comments your latest Goodwill makeover!
