I always enjoy the cozy Christmas clutter.
But then I look forward to the fresh New Year.
So as I'm starting to plan for that
I thought it would be a good time to share
a project I worked on a few weeks ago
when I did a guest post over
at Debbie's Refresh ReStyle.
So here's my fresh new project:

So as I'm starting to plan for that
I thought it would be a good time to share
a project I worked on a few weeks ago
when I did a guest post over
at Debbie's Refresh ReStyle.
So here's my fresh new project:
It was "love at first sight"
when I found this rope in the thrift barn for $5.
I knew I could find some fun use for it.
All of that textural loveliness will give my plant a needed "pick me up".
So after soaking the rope in a bucket of bleach water
and laying out to dry,
I wrapped and glued the rope
around my plastic pot.
That led to another idea.
What about giving this old plant stand
a new look.
This was a freebie.
But it just doesn't have that fresh beach house vibe
that I'm going for.
So I cut some beadboard panels to fit around the sides
and hammered off the metal flourish
at the bottom of the stand.
Now it's shaping up.
After base painting in a gray,
I brushed over in semi-gloss white
leaving random streaks of gray to show through.
Then a little bit of sanding
and a smidge of black glaze in a few places
and there you have it...
a cottagey beachy feel.
That will be such a nice complement to the sisal wrap.
My new plant stand has found a home now
beside The Milk Painted Sideboard.
Today I tucked a bit of sparkle in for the New Year.
Hope you are all enjoying your homes
this Christmas Season!
