Basket Makeover with DecoArt

$2.00 Thrift Store Basket Makeover with DecoArt

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.

Had to stop by a cute little beach by my old house Had to stop by a cute little beach by my old house in Apollo Beach in Florida.  It’s crazy how I took all these little beaches by my house for granted when I lived there.  I’d be at them everyday now if I could. 🌊😩🐚✨😉
