Briar patch primitives

Gosh, it seems like you can get these type of paper mache boxes for practically nothing at yard sales. And that is exactly where this set of boxes came from and have been gracing my home as a decoration for far too long. My home is no longer cute country. I love the more farmhouse colonial style, I like clean lines and way less clutter. I really like the old look of fabric covered boxes, but the price is more than I am willing to pay right now. So I decided to make do with what I have. Reduce the amount of money going out of my pocket, Reuse what I already had, and Recycle it into something noteworthy and useable.

Oh well. I hope you enjoy the before and afters of these pantry boxes. I have had this little table for a long time now. Well its time to give it a little makeover. I cleared it off, gave it a nice little sanding, and painted it black. Now I chose a nice cream color.

So after the top color was applied and had time to dry I gave it a nice sanding, really giving it some great distressed character. Then the grand finale is the Briwax coating on the top. That really is the secret to getting a geat look. Well I have to say I am very happy with the way the table came out.

What do you all think? Yay or Nay? Let me know in the comments. I guess those pantry cakes really did me in. Well I have some really fun and creative things planned for my blog for the year.

I have some home makeover plans and I plan on welcoming you into my home for a visit as I transform some minor and major displays. I could tell you but I always change my mind mid way. So come along for the ride spring is almost here and my creative mojo is back. Email Address:. Sign me up! Create a free website or blog at WordPress. RSS 2. Here is a copy of her ad.

This is my official Briar Patch Primitives blog. This is going to be your favorite source for all your primitive decorating needs. This allows me to share with you decorating insider secrets. Decorating is to me what water is to a fish. Even when I was a little girl I would spend hours decorating and redesigning my room, now I know why, it is my passion.

This led me to my next venture, owning a primitive home decor store. And that is how Briar Patch Primitives was born. You can also catch me each week as a co-host on the wonderful podcast Primtalkradio, where each week I contribute detailed segments on the world of primitive decorating.

I was born and raised in South Central PA, and a wonderful wife to Richard, my darling husband of 15 years. She started out just going to craft shows and then decided to make a career out of her passion. The Briar House owner went through many transitions to get the business to the successful point of where it is at today.

Pfannenstein started her own wholesale candle company, Briar Patch Primitives and eventually opened a retail location in Waite Park to sell candles and other home decor. But she knew the Waite Park location was not the store's final home.
