Two Makeovers Completed

Hi prim girls,

Although today was a very cold day outside, I decided to complete some makeovers. I had a lot of them waiting for better days, but it seems that we will have a lot of cold days ahead. I can't not wait until Spring to finish them.  In my previous post I showed  two wooden items that I founded in the GW,well here are the pictures of them now.  
New Butter Churn,




 Do you remember it, if not here is the picture before. I think it was an umbrella stand but no more...

 
I removed the yute and replaced it with veneer edging in oak. Make a round cap with a hole in the center to used as a butter churn. Then sanded the piece and painted it barn red over black and stained.

My next project was the bread box, 

 
Now,  I used the same color technique of the first item and added a stained wooden knob. I will used it in my bath to hide my creams and other bathroom stuff.









Love to make projects like this and I had more waiting for me.  Also, can't wait to see who will be my new partner in the "Trashy Swap"  from Char's Blog, it is based in TS finds that we need to change to make a treasure for our partner.  

Bye, bye and see you soon, Evelyn

  2. What fantastic makeovers...I love the ones that look nothing like what they started out to be.
    And what a great idea to use it in the bathroom as storage for all of those necessary items...pure genius!
