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.

Materials

  • gray spray paint
  • white spray paint
  • spray paint nozzle
  • painters tape
  • scrap paper
  • risers for the basket to lift off ground
  • drop cloth

Instructions

  1. clean and dust your basket
  2. decide where you want the stripe to be
  3. spray just that area with the gray
  4. make sure you overlap the gray a bit onto the area where the white will be
  5. let this dry completely and then some
  6. you want the gray dry before you tape it off
  7. to avoid using excess tape, I folded over some printer paper and placed in the center of the stripe. Then tape it to the basket
  8. spray as many coats as needed to cover your basket
  9. I sprayed 2 coats
  10. this paint dries quickly
  11. remove the paper and tape
  12. enjoy

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.

    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.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
