I ran across this grubby kitchen cabinet panel this week in my garage. I've had it for a while. I made a vintage grater photo holder with a smaller panel like this.
The panel has a crack in just the front side, that doesn't go all the way through to the back.
I scrubbed the panel with a rag and hot soapy water.

I found this rustic, vintage look metal planter at Hobby Lobby in Bemidji, Minnesota.
The planter is part of the Hobby Lobby's Spring Shop. It's priced at $7.99 but I know I purchased it at 40 or 50% off.
I decided to add grain sack stripes on the cabinet panel, and I taped a thin three line stencil on with blue painter's tape.
to stencil the stripes.
All of these grain sack stripe stencil variants are available through *Old Sign Stencils.
I stenciled just the "rooster" and "1932" from the *Farm Blend Grain Stencil over the grain sack stripes using Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black
.
I didn't seal the stencils or wood. Fusion Mineral Paint is self sealing.

I could have pounded a nail into the cabinet panel and just hung the little planter on a nail, however, I used a screw to keep the pot in place.
I added a sawtooth hanger on the back of wooden cabinet panel.
Perfectly rustic!
And perfectly farmhouse!
I think the planter can be used for both faux and real plants.
I can't wait for all of our snow to be GONE here in northern Minnesota.
I'm dreaming of garden junk!
Almost any flat back galvanized planter could be used in the project.
*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples. All opinions about these fabulous stencils are my own.

ReplyDeleteI love using cabinet doors for projects, and I adore the galvanized flat-back planter. I've not come across any flat-back planters. I love your upcycles!
clever, clever! Such a cool upcycle!
ReplyDeleteThat came out really cute Carlene. I love the little bucket. Is there a name for that? If not could you give me the number on the label?
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever! I love how you created such a useful and darling item!
