I'm so sorry it took me so long to say Thanks but I did have a post all done on this when I first got it in the mail. But, I forgot to post it and it was sitting in my posts just waiting to appear.
I love this cute apron and have it with the rest of my vintage apron collection! Thanks again Penny!
I found this cute little box with a rose lid at the Goodwill Store. It looks like it's carved out of wood but it really isn't. It's like a plaster or something.
I fell in love with the rose top and thought it would be great in my pink rose theme office. Well after a coat of pink paint that is.
So I sanded it down and gave it a few coats of pink paint.
After the paint dried I sanded it down to give it an old worn look and then applied a coat of wax which brought out the details so much better.
Now it's perfect for my office. I'm not sure what I will put in it. Maybe some little sweet treats!So what do you think? Do you like it better looking like wood or painted pink?
If you have not yet done so, hurry to sign up for my quickie giveaway down below.
Hugs,
Joanne
