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.

It's great. Did you use an Exacto knife to cut in between each roll up slat? Thanks for the great idea. Stopped by from Heck Fridays.

That is adorable, Tiffany! I love the black and white! I'll bet it was tedious cutting those strips, but it looks so worth it. Great project!

Visiting from Tatertos and Jello. : )

Absolutely adorable. I have the same bread box. My mom bought it for me new. I considered painting it, but that was not exciting enough. I ended up putting bread in it, but it is in my pantry behind the closed door. I need to find scrapbook paper to match my decor & I will have it on my counter in no time. Great new blog.

How cute is that breadbox?! I've been stalking my Goodwill looking for one for our countertop. Now I know what I'll do with it! (I had planned on painting one to match the kitchen, but LOVE this more!) New follower from HoH! : )
