Update Thrift Store Wooden Bowls

great ideas to upcycle and repurpose commonly found thrift store items
I am on the road for my daughter's indoor track meet and a thrift store makeover did not happen before I left. I am sharing a favorite past thrift store project--painting wood bowls.

I always look for good wood bowls at the thrift store, they are plentiful.

I clean them up with some white vinegar, they are often fairly greasy from the protective oil that is on them. I keep them near my paint table and "clean" my paint brushes on the wood bowls.

When I finish painting a piece, before I clean the brush I paint the extra paint on the bowls.

Soon, I have colorful, fun wood bowls to decorate with. Using command adhesive, I hung some of the bowls above my French doors. I finish them with coconut oil and use some of them with a cloth napkin for bread or other dry foods.

They are great sellers too!

  2. I used to think magic was bogus but after Martin left me I felt open-minded to try it. Maybe I was desperate too. But this is real! You restored the love we had for each other. And now he proposed as you promised he would! I am your friend forever and very grateful for all of this. I will come back again, very soon contact priest ogidiga via email: [MIRACLECENTER110@GMAIL.COM]
