Wicker Planter

reviving vintage wicker
Remember the wicker planter I bought last week?  

 It was great to have the original galvanized box still in good shape, but the wood was dried out and in need of a little pick-me-up.







I simply washed and waxed the metal planter.

 The wicker had at some point in time been painted brown, but now was faded.





The spool and turned legs in desperate need of stain.












I used a chip brush and antique walnut stain all over everything.



 Let it sit and dry.

















The wicker planter has definitely got a little more go in her.

 Available at Booth W-10, Riverfront Antique Mall in North Augusta, SC.

 $28 !!!

 You can't beat that with a stick.



 See y'all!

    I have projects just piling up in my garage waiting for me to finally get to summer break from school (come on June 17th) -- but the day job will still get in the way a little.

    Oh, I want that! I've been looking at wicker planters and this is perfect! But you're too far away! You did a fabulous job in reviving the look! Twenty-eight dollars? Too low, Donna!

    Twenty eight bucks is a great deal! If I lived close by it would be already sold, but I'm sure some lucky buyer will snap it up quick..

    I love this planter and would have grabbed it up first thing this morning if I lived in your area! Just gorgeous!! The wicker and wood look beautiful with their new coat of stain!

    I fell in love with that planter the first time you showed it. I love the details in the wicker. One of the things I like about what we do is finding that "little more go" in things and setting it free. That price is a super duper deal. Bet you have a super duper quick sale too. Thanks for sharing.

    Great piece Donna ... if I lived close enough, I would be an early bird to your shop in hopes of being able to get it. You find the neatest stuff.

    I rarely see these with their metal planters inside. It's so lucky that you came along to save it. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.
