This vintage steamer trunk was all kinds of dirty and gross when I finally pulled it out of our basement to start giving it a bold, beautiful makeover. Even after a thorough cleaning, it still wasn’t shining bright like the diamond I knew it could be. It needed color. It needed depth. It needed some bling. But the biggest change, and what I’m going to share with you today, is how to paint a vintage trunk.
Happy Friday Eve, my friends! This idea for DIY table scatter popped into my head yesterday, and I just had to try it out and share it with you. I love table scatter because it adds an extra element of detail to any table setting, and these watercolor Fall leaves are perfect for Thanksgiving. This project is so simple, but it will add a fun pop to the table!
