Wood Dough Bowls

Months ago, I was inspired by a post from Angie at The Country Chic Cottage.

Angie had been wanting a dough bowl of her very own,

but they are incredibly expensive.

What does a DIY'er do when they want something?

They make it themselves!

Angie took a $1 bowl from the thrift store and created a dough bowl.

You can click on the photo above to see just how she did this.

So I've been looking at wooden bowls from time to time,
but never finding one I really liked.

Then last week, I came across some blah bowls.

They were sad with their brown and black colors.

They were crying out for somebody to give them color.

I couldn't wait to get them home and splash on some paint.

The base paint is a green oops paint from Home Depot.

Two bowls have a terra cotta over the green.

Two bowls have a yellow over the green.

After the second color was added to the bowl,

it was distressed with 150 sandpaper.

Then two layers of wax were applied to seal the paint

with a good buffing after each application.

The color is a robin's egg blue,

or maybe a turquoise,

or an aqua.

I'll be adding more upcycled and handcrafted items to my shop in the next week.

They'll be a little bit country, rustic, farmhouse.

Kinda like me.
