Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Red Bohemian Coat Rack

 

The local church thrift sale was where I purchased this Christmas 5 peg stocking hanger. It got a complete makeover. Now it is perfect for year round display.


After a good cleaning I used a small round Dixie Belle synthetic brush to paint it a coat of rustic red Dixie Belle Paint. Originally I thought of doing it in a Christmas theme. See the Christmas transfers in the back.


Above is the first coat. The second coat made it much more opaque and solid red. I decided after it dried to do a more year round look for this 5 peg rack. A couple new wooden pegs were sources and painted 2 coats as well.


After much contemplation, I chose the bohemian wedding Dixie Belle transfer. The designs I wanted were cut out and set in place till the arrangement was set. The backing is removed and burnished into place with the enclosed stick.


This is the final transfer look. 


I wanted to give a vintage worn feeling. I used a dedicated Dixie Belle premium chip brush I use for dark waxes to apply brown Dixie Belle's best dang wax around the edges. It also went in the grooves and around the transfers too.

 To seal the transfers in place, 2 coats of Dixie Belle satin clear coat.


It is now ready to be hung on a wall to display whatever the new owner wants.
