First up was this neat looking circular, hanging basket. I dug through my paint stash and pulled out 2 Behr paints, one in Pebble White and the other in Aqua Smoke.
The basket was so quick and easy. First I dry brushed on one coat of the aqua and once it was dry I went back and dry brushed on a little of the white. I like the way it turned out....
Here's the back side....
And check out that large basket - just imagine the wide variety of things you could stuff in there?
Nexy up was the Napa Valley crates. I simply painted on one coat of the Aqua Smoke and once it dried I lightly distressed it with a little sand paper. To give the paint a little age and patina I brushed on a coat of light oak stain and almost immediately wiped it off with a rag. I like this technique to bring out the deeper under tones.
These crates will look cute sitting on a shelf or counter, or perhaps hanging on the wall.
It took about an hour for both projects and and added bonus was that I used the same paint!
Both items for sale in my shop here and here.
