Breadbox Makeover

So awhile ago I came across this blog post I fell in love! I had already bought several damask (pattern) items for my new home and knew this would be a PERFECT add. So I went to Goodwill and found one my first trip, yea when does that ever happen?? But here it is :)

Before I got to work ...

Measured the length and width of the wood pieces and marked on the back of

scrapbook paper (I used a scrapbook cutter but you could use scissors to cut it out).

The inside and outside were gross so I gave it an extra good sanding.

Then painted the outside black and applied scrapbook paper with Modge Podge.

(I painted a layer of Modge Podge under the scrapbook paper and over as well, this was the

most tedious part of the whole thing).

I found the knob for the bread box at Michael's for $1, and the bread box was $3 :)

(the glass door knob on top was from a fun trip to canton $7,

and the Cow is my mom's milk dish for coffee)

And its in USE! :)

Can't wait to put it in my FIRST HOME.
