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.

Farmhouse Grass Basket


Updating a grass basket is easy with a bit of paint.


I loved the thick "cords" in this large basket and the fun wood handles but it was dirty and blah looking. Time for a good scrub and let dry.



I had a few projects ready to do all in Dixie Belle Paint in drop cloth; a pretty warm white.


Here is the first coat of drop cloth going on the pieces. I was using this lovely color on a solid wood dining table just the day before.



And the basket inside showing how I just dry brushed the warm white over all sides to brighten it. I then dry brushed a bright white milk paint over the warm white for some highlights and added dimension then sealed the entire basket with a clear wax.


Here are the completed farmhouse inspired drop cloth projects.
