How I Repurposed a Set of Vintage Enamel Pans


                                   

So, I found this cool set of enamel pans at a thrift store for only $1each
 and thought they looked so Pottery Barn-ish. 
I had seen similar ones on Ebay for $25 a set!
What could I do with them?

                        

 I loved that there were three of them...1...2...3...so I numbered them!


with foam stamps and midnight blue acrylic craft paint...
and repurposed them into planters! 




A nice new look for the New Year, and there's more to come--
if you've been following along, you know I've been in the mood to paint furniture.
And, as promised, my next post will be the big reveal of my pie safe revamp!

Stay tuned and thanks for reading!

  5. What a great, great idea. I found some really old, kind of rusted ones buried on our property a while back, and while I kept them, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. Now I know!! I will definitely link back to you when I post about it. Love your blog!!!
