French Farmhouse Inspired Tiered Wire Basket

Bonjour Ladies!

As most of you know, I adore all things French, so when I spotted this gorgeous two tired wire basket recently while out thrifting, it just knew that I had to bring it home!

 The basket immediately said to me "French Farmhouse"!  Ok, the basket itself didn't actually say that, but that is what came to mind when I laid eyes on this beauty!  It may be hard to tell in the photos, but she was a sort of weathered gray color when I spotted her.  I actually liked the color, but I had something just a bit different in mind.

 So, I ended up painting her this soft "French Bleu" color, which is my own custom blended shade.

 A bit of distressing, and oooh, la, la!  Now all I need is the French farmhouse to put her in:)

Ok, a girl can dream, can't she?????  ***sigh***

 Anyway, it would have been easier, much easier, if I had just spray painted her.  But no, I like doing things the hard way, haha!  While it was quite tedious painting her by hand, making sure I got into all of the nooks and crannies, there really wasn't a spray paint out there that came close enough to this look.  Guess that's what I get for wanting something so specific!  But, I am super happy with the way she turned out!  While I would love, love, love to keep her, I have put her in my Etsy shop, if you care to take a peek!

I won't be on here much for the next few days, as friends of ours from back home are flying in tomorrow to visit us for a long weekend.  We are super excited, and can't wait to show them the sights!

 So, I'll be catching up with all of you wonderfully talented women next week!  Hope you all have a terrific weekend!  Au revoir!
