Thrift Store Easter Basket Transformation

I think I mentioned to you recently how much I love to whip up a thrift store transformation.

Well here is what I did this week!

I found this Easter basket/crate at a new Goodwill in town for only $2.99.

I thought the bunnies were cute and Easter is a good time for cute, so worth taking home.

I should have primed this first because the wood it was made of was red and after one coat of white paint it was heavily bleeding through.

I put a second coat of white on and there was still a pinkish tone.

I was impatient to finish though so I decided to cover the pinkish hue a bit by using a lot 

of dark wax on the piece.

I liked the sides of the piece because they remind me of a vintage fruit picking basket.

I also like the wire holding the bunnies and carrot because it's a nod to industrial style.

(maybe?)

I have some flowers I haven't had time to plant yet and decided to swap out the Easter eggs for

 a few photos.

Another shot of the side.

Are you guys getting tired of my living room? 

At least I change out the pillows each time you visit! lol

I have more Easter decorating planned, as well as a giveaway I am really excited to share with you.

But my computer is going in the shop so we'll see what I can do.

I may be back next week or it may not be until April.

Have a great week-end!
