MacKenzie Childs Inspired Thrift Store Flip
Are you ready for some fun un planned thrift store flip with a bit of crackle? It will for sure be a hight end home decor diy. It took a little while for this Goodwill piece to finally come together. Had so many ideas but didn’t get around to it not because I didn’t have time I just didn’t feel this is going to be it. If you follow me for some time you know I love patterns and details. I absolutely love MacKenzie Childs pop of detail. There are so many projects on my blog and all social media that I made inspired by this company. Check some of them HERE. I am still in the learning stages with my black and white patterns but absolutely love to experiment on Goodwill finds. Love to search thrift stores for those unusual shapes of ceramics that I can in meantime practice. Check out this candy basket that I am trying to get below . How gorgeous is that basket.
As you can see shape is similar so I am close and it was only $6 so it is a good deal. My find doesn’t have that nice stand and opened up flare but it is ok.
My Thrift store find
Not going to lie it took awhile to get to that piece .. I even had it out staring at me so inspiration will come together ASAP but it didn’t. Finished all others find from that haul but this one. It all came together to my head after LIVe last night on Facebook where I was working on the other budget friendly organization idea.
I was working on my crackle to finish all up and all of a sudden all started to come together when one of my lovely friend Lori mentioned about her way of getting crackle done. Watch this project HERE
