Wooden Basket Makeover

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

Wood and wire basket gets a farmhouse update, let's see how!

I sourced this forlorn dirty solid wood basket at a local thrift store.

After a good scrub to clean it all up, it was sanded smooth ready to paint.

I chose to dry brush one of Fusion Mineral Paints's newest paint colors called Goddess Ashwagandha over every side including the bottom for a worn rustic farmhouse feel.

Even though it was only a small tester size, I painted this silverware chest as well and still have some left for another small project. Isn't this Fusion tester package lovely? I have tried the soft sacred sage green on this jewelry box and plan to try the purples soon.

Wanting to add a stencil but not wanting to commit to just one item that could be in the basket such as coffee I stenciled on this pretty shape using Rustoleum's black chalkboard paint.
