Painted Stripe Basket Makeover
Painted Stripe Basket Makeover
Making over thrift store items has been one of my favorite pastimes through the years. It's an affordable way to add some character and on trend items to your home without a huge commitment.
I've found that I like to change things up often in our home. I love to “shop” our home to redecorate different rooms and spaces. Thrift store items are the perfect fit for this. So many of my accessories are thrift store makeovers and quite versatile. I've also even re-donated items that I've made over. If it's run its course in our home, I'll donate it to add something new. I don't feel bad about it because the investment and time were typically minimal to begin with.
This month's thrift store makeover is this cool laundry basket. It's not huge and perfect for Ashlyn's bedroom. She took her old basket to her apartment in Clemson and left it there since she'll be living in the same apartment at Clemson next year. Baskets are perfect paint makeovers especially with stripes!
Be sure to read to the end of the post for the complete list of projects this month from the Thrift Store Decor Team!
This basket was just made for painted stripes! I decided to make the center panel gray.
Chalky Finish Misty Gray is perfect for a farmhouse look.
You'll tape off the gray area once it is dry and finish with the white spray paint.

I photographed it here, but I plan to use it in Ashlyn's bedroom for her laundry. I wasn't able to photograph in her room. I forgot that she had a test today online and was in her room.
I like the idea of a similar basket down here to put a few exercise equipment pieces. It would also be great for blanket storage.

Love the decor around the fire place.
Thanks so much!
Christy,
This was definitely meant to be striped! Oh how pretty it turned out. I love the colors.
I’ve been using chalky spray paint a lot lately.
Pinned!

I swear, it was MEANT for a stripey makeover with the way the weaving is- such a perfect way to transform it. And hallelujah for having a thrift store stash to keep us busy these days.
