Copy Cat.. Ice…Ice…Baby

August 7, 2012

I have been searching for an old wood ice cream machine ever since I spotted one on Becky’s blog Buckets of Burlap .I also spotted one on Rusty Hinge .I love that old Handy freeze ice cream bucket.I have found a few.But I was not willing to shell out lots of money for one.So what’s a vintage loving girl like me to do???Well find an old one and make it special yourself!!!

Here it is.This started out looking like this.

Not my style.But the price was right! I would love to have an authentic chippy old one.But this will do.It is old.But I needed to make it more my style.

I had some left over paint from another project.I did not create any chalk paint.It is just regular old flat latex paint.After painting it I sanded it down.This was already rusty so the paint brought it out even more!

Hydrangea’s fresh from my garden.The only thing blooming right now.

This sanded down nicely.Love the worn look.Almost looks authentic.

I love this look in my kitchen.

And it was super easy to do!

I love these hydrangea’s in my French pitcher too.

I also added some to my blue mason jars!

Looking forward to our concert tomorrow.We are taking my daughter to see Coldplay.Can’t wait!!!!

    That is one great transformation. I bought a turquoise one a few months ago, but I think I like it in white better. Might have to get out the paint now.

    I love it and now will be on the hunt for one to transform thanks to your inspiration! It turned out great and you will be able to switch it out easily for seasonal displays as well.

    Love what you did to the ice cream bucket! I love the white on white color combo you have, it’s so simple and fresh. The blue mason jars look perfect for a splash of color.

    Perfect! It looks like it was truly originally white. What a neat find, and tranformation. My hubby often reminisces about old ice cream makers and wishes he had one. Yours is really ‘cool’!

    That was a great idea to paint one that doesn’t have the color you wanted. It looks authentically old that way too! It makes a pretty container for fresh flowers. I bet that concert was GREAT!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
