Still enjoying my time with my daughter this week thought I would share another post that you all may not have seen the first time around.
First I wanted to thank you all for your sweet comments.I am feeling much much better today thank you.
We went out today with some friends and did a little fun shopping !
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!
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!
Right now I am displaying some of my wood cutting boards and bread boards in this!
Keep your eyes open next time you are in a thrift store or garage sale.
You may come across on of these that can be transformed with just a bit of paint!

I love the wood things you’ve filled your ice cream maker with AND the pretty rose painting hanging next to it. It looks like spring. 🙂

I love it too!
Bucket turned out great and kitchen display looks wonderful.

it just looks great, anne! love that painting, too. have a great easter!
Love the bucket and everything looks great!d. Those hydrangea are o beautiful that I can’t tell if they are real or faux. I hope you have a wonderful Easter- xo Diana
I just adore this! White flowers in a white bucket. What’s not to love? 🙂
Ohhh Anne this is a wonderful transformation. Wow it looks so good. What a nice piece of chippy goodness. It looks so pretty in your kitchen.

Should make some good ole shabby chic ice cream!
Love that! Great tip.
omigosh how adorable!!! Love it painted.
I remember that bucket. Still loving what you did with it.
Hi Anne, what a cutie and you really did a great job painting it. We used to have homemade ice cream every summer. Only once or twice because it was always special. My Dad would stand and crank that thing and we kids couldn’t wait to lick the paddles. I have never tasted ice cream like it since and don’t know what happened to the bucket but it would have been something special now..Happy Wednesday..Judy
Love that you made your own. It looks great.
Take a look at my blog tomorrow if you have a chance and you will see mine. I do love it!
Blessings, Amy
I just saw an old ice cream maker on another blog and want one. You did a great job fixing up yours.
What a great idea. If you hadn’t shown the before photo I probably would have thought it was always so lovely. It looks amazing with the flowers, you can never have too many flowers, but truth be told I’m loving it filled with all the wood items it makes the bucket pop!
I love the bucket! It looks fabulous. I’m going to have to look for one.

Anne, your ice cream bucket looks so pretty! Those old ice cream buckets are costly but I did get lucky last week and found one that was affordable. I have it in my booth but if it doesn’t sell, I’m bringing it back home for me…LOL! I’m sorry that you were not feeling well but happy that you’re feeling better. Enjoy your daughter and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter. Hugs, Gail
Anne, this ice-cream bucket looks fabulous the way you painted it up. What a nice find!
Anne, this piece is fantastic, I love the paint you put on and it does bring out the rust and age more. Great project!
Cynthia
Love, love, love it!!
The ice cream bucket turned out awesome!!

When I had my booth, I sold several of those. They look great used all kinds of ways. Yours is charming and filled with wonderful things Anne! Happy Easter. xo
I love it. I have one that I’ve already painted and two that still need paint. I love that you let the number peek through. I love the rose picture. Have a great rest of the week.
Brilliant!
I did the same thing with a “faux” firkin!
Anne, it looks so cool the way you’ve displayed it! I have an old one (really big) that I’ve had for years.
Now I’ll have to dig it out and do a copycat! LOL
Love it!
Hugs,
Patti
Love your redone ice cream bucket! Nicely done and I like the saving money part! Nancy
