Basket Makeover with DecoArt

$2.00 Thrift Store Basket Makeover with DecoArt

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Today I’m sharing a super simple Basket Makeover, using DecoArts new Americana paints.  Sometimes you just need a quick project to take your mind off things, right?!

My mom had this old basket sitting in her shed for years, I think it’s a vegetable basket she got at the Flea Market. So I ask if I could have it for a quick makeover and I’m so glad I did!

As you all know I’m apart of the core blogger team for DecoArt.  Every month we have a fun challenge to create a project using a DecoArt product.  This month our challenge was doing a project using one of their new Americana paints. I love being apart of their team and trying our all these new products, it’s been awhile since we’ve worked on a project together.  I was excited to get started!

Basket Makeover Supplies Needed:

  • Americana Acrylics 2oz – Moody Blue
  • Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint 8oz – Everlasting
  • Basket
  • Paint Brush

Step 1 – Paint Basket

I used my “trusty” Chalky Finish to paint the entire basket first.  I just lightly went over the basket with one coat of paint.

Step 2 – Add Accent Color

Now it’s time to add our accent color!  I had a lot of color options to choose from. But I really LOVED this Moody Blue and knew it would fit in perfectly with my coastal decor.

I went around the basket with three costs, letting each coat dry for 10 minutes.

I love this look, and I can’t wait to start decorating around it for Fall.  I can add some pumpkins and a new Fall pillow.

As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest home decor project.  I always love working on a new project for the house, especially this room.  During quaratine we have remolded and redecorated the space. I can’t wait to start decorating for the holidays in this room.

Before Makeover

I should have taken a proper before picture, but I forgot too. I got too excited to get started.

After Makeover

The space feels so much more open and bigger now.

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
