Some quickies for you this morning.I went shopping in Horror Monster Outdoor Living Section and gathered an armload of things to clean.
Like these two planter pots.
This is the after.
Here is the before.
One was hammered brass - all stained and dirty.
So I spritzed them with white paint.
This is the brass one.
They each received a waxing.
I do love their aged appearance.
A chamber pot.
A black bird feeder.
A green mailbox.
All were sanded.
All were washed.
All were waxed and buffed.
I threw in the South Boundary sign from the 60's.
And the can and dasher from a ice cream churn.
I knew someone had painted it black.
As I was sanding the rust off the back, I noticed some outlines of letters.
I gently sanded off the paint to find:
WORKMASTER
PAINT KIT
OIL & GREASE
SEARS AND ROEBUCK AND CO.
Holes for hanging.A little shelf.
That is all for today.
See y'all!

Love the distressing on the two pot's !! How cute is that blue/green mailbox ??? Perfect for the garden to store a pair of glove's and trowel ...?? The best is that little wall cabinet, hmmmmdo I have an empty wall space ? Have a great day, I love to shop your blog until the SHOP open's, Yeah !!! TT
ReplyDeleteThose pots are divine! I thought they were olive buckets at first glance. Lots of goodies here!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the old planters and I agree with AnnMarie they look like olive buckets. I'm in love with the Sears and Roebuck wall cabinet!
ReplyDeleteAll the projects turned out so great Donna! I love the surprise you revealed when sanding the little cabinet! I need to get busy on some projects that are out in my garage... terror trove #2! lol! Yesterday a friend was over trying to help me fix the driving light on my truck and the worst thing happened... I was forced to open the garage door to get needed tools :o( :o( :o( I cringed as it slowly opened... my friend turned to me and looked all sad faced... said my name all slow and with great intention... like he felt so sorry for me... then hugged me and petted my head!!! I said "Stop IT!! It's just my garage and it's just that I toss things out here I don't put them away!" He went on to say "Tania... honey... you have a problem..." I think I finally convinced him that I don't need an intervention and that I just need to get busy. Sheesh!

Who needs to shop elsewhere when your home has so many amazing things. Love the little cabinet!

That mailbox has the perfect colour!
ReplyDeleteLove what you are doing ... the brass pot looks like it has holes in it like the olive buckets. You will have some interesting new/old stuff for your shop and likely will sell quickly. Much better stuff than you could find at the garage sales.
ReplyDeleteBoy you sure are good at quickies! Love the pots and I LOVE the color of the mailbox! You always find the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love all those pieces and you did an awesome job on the two pots. What I want to know is where is Horror Monter's outdoor living section and what else is out there? I would love to shop your house!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHow are you STILL finding stuff in your stash to resell???
ReplyDeleteThe Sears cabinet is awesome - never saw one like that before.
ReplyDeleteYou keep finding the best stuff in the horror section. Love it all! Thanks, Donna for sharing at VIParty.
ReplyDeleteLove that rusty table and so glad you gave that Sears cabinet a sanding. Fabulous advertising! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
