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!
MY LATEST VIDEOS
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!!!!

Oh, that is beautiful! You just gave me an idea of what to do with one I have like that. Great job!
Sherry
Love it Anne! I’m going to spend more time, catching up with all my favorite blogs! You’ve got some lovely things going on that I’ve missed! How is your vintage space doing these days?
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, love, love it, Anne! And I think it looks just as wonderful as a really old one! I hope you plan to share it at Knick of Time Tuesday today. :0)
Blessings,
Angie
Just charming! And I love seeing your hydrangeas! Mine haven’t bloomed since I got them and I think it might be my climate. They are so lovely!
What an amazing transformation Anne! I LOVE it!! I have seen those ice cream buckets too and they are very pricey. Thanks for the inspiration, Gail
It does fit your decor much better. Very pretty, Anne.
That’s beautiful!! The hydrangeas are simply gorgeous!!!
That turned out fantastic!! Great job!
Susan
Oh my goodness what a beautiful transformation. I love it and so pretty with the flowers.

Anne, I really like this! You did a great job. It’s so pretty.
Now this is too cute!! I love this!! I want one!! 🙂 Your hydrangeas are just beautiful…love them in those pretty blue mason jars!! Creative and a green thumb!!! Hugs!! *Hope y’all have lots of fun at the concert!!
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’!
This white vignette is so crisp and fresh! Your bucket came out really cute.
That is just gorgeous, Anne. Absolutely beautiful- xo Diana
LUV this, Anne!!! I’ve seen Firkins over at eBay for big $$ – and your ice cream maker looks every bit as beautiful! GREAT job! 🙂

I have been eyeballin these for quite some time too but like you didn’t want to shell out all those bucks!!! Yours turned out so fabulous…..love it :o)

You did a great job with the ice cream bucket….way to go.

Anne, this looks great. So much better painted. I love the white you used.
Anne, it looks wonderful. I love it! Now I want one!
Ann
Great idea (if I ever run across one of those) …

I think it’s fabulous! I really like the way you let part of the graphics show through and the rust too. Gorgeous!
Love it in white! I’ve got 2 old ice cream makers, one blue and one green, and you’re right, they are pricey! Fabulous makeover!
Awesome….love the white and oh, my gosh those hydrangeas…to die for!! Can’t seem to grow them here…darn….I remember seeing them in Seattle when I grew up..I loved them, even then.
Anne,
you did an amazing job! It’s gorgeous, the white paint is perfect and I love the 5! It looks fabulous in your kitchen with the hydrangeas, my favorite flowers!
Rebecca
This looks amazing!!!
One of these is on my wish list! There are a few in the shop but not at the right price for me!

Okay….I would have totally seen this at a yard sale and walked by! Thanks for inspiring me today!

Love it…now I know what do do with the one I have! Thanks for sharing at Share It One More Time!!!
oh, it turned out lovely, anne:) i love how the label looks painted, too! have fun at the concert!
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!
Just lovely! Thank you for sharing. Visiting from French Country. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-it-pretty-monday-week-9.html Hope to see you at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
I love it!
Carolyn
Well, goofy me, I just gave one of those away, and I could have painted it. Duh!! Yours looks lovely and great eye to see the potential.
Love your ice cream maker, make-over! I just did a copy cat of one, I think now I may need to paint mine…
I love seeing what paint can do to transform something ordinary to something we love to put in our homes. The green and white just look perfect.
I think this turned out beautifully! So pretty, and a great idea!
Beautiful!! Love all the vintage white in your kitchen and the hydrangeas just give it an extra softness. Love it!
Debbie 🙂
GENIUS!
it’s gorgeous.
hope you stop by if you have a moment.
