Do you love pedestal bowls as much as I do?
Well, for some reason, I'm just crazy about anything on a pedestal! So today I thought I'd share my latest creation with you, a vintage wooden pedestal bowl that I gave a Frenchy makeover to!
But she didn't start out looking so magnifique! Oh, no! This is what she began life as! I've got to thank hubby for finding this one for me! (I think I need to send him out shopping more often!)
I knew right away when I saw her just what I wanted to do.
So, I began by painting her my favorite creamy white, followed by what I like to refer to as "a generous dose of distressing", to give her that aged over time look. Then, I went over to the Graphics Fairy (love!) for this gorgeous French label. Don't you just love it?!
I really love her curvy shape, by the way!
As a special little surprise, I lined the inside with vintage sheet music, which is one another one of my favorite things to work with!
I am so happy with the way she turned out!
I'm linking up with Kathleen over at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

The sheet music on the inside was a nice surprise! I didn't expect that at all! Looks so pretty.

This is so beautiful, Donna--lovely! Thank you for sharing the before and after pictures with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pedestal bowl. Loved the sheet music on the inside. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi, I was looking at your post today and scrolled down and found this one. It is really strange because I had just found the wooden stand just like you painted. I had it boxed up not using it any more. I received mine as a wedding gift in 1966. I think it is time it received a makeover. I have searched and searched the Graphics Fairy blog but I cannot find the one you used. Would you be so kind to help me find that one. I really like it. Thank you,

That's a really sweet transformation. I love the music manuscript on the inside of the bowl.

Donna, this is beautiful. I love what you have done with it. You definitely made it a one time find. Very creative. I love glass pedestals. But this wooden one is really unique. Have a nice day. And by the way, thank you so much for adding me to your blog roll. I'm honored. =)
ReplyDeleteLove it. wonderful combination of loveliness.
