Numbered Basket

Here is the before – rather blah.

The basket was functional & good for storing the extra blankets, etc. in the family room to snuggle up with during family movie night but not very interesting to view.

So I decided to give it some personality…….

I took out my handy dandy black craft paint & started stenciling out No. 4448 {our house numbers}

Only we had a little problem……

the BLACK craft paint actually came out hunter green (with a bit of puke green mixed in –yes, very pretty!)

&

the paint was running & not sticking to the glossy weave of the basket.

What is a girl to do? Hmmmm

So I took out my supreme artist’s tool – the SHARPIE!

And here is the result:

Added a quick bit of Northern Cottage style in a jif.

Happy Monday everybody!!
