I think it would look great painted and honestly you can't mess it up. Paint is so easy to fix with just another quick coat if it doesn't turn out quite the way you envision it :o)Good luck!<br /> ~DesDeseraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548332335063152792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-63092682788848315142010-11-30T14:53:53.561-08:002010-11-30T14:53:53.561-08:00Is this where you have in mind for a metal bucket?...Is this where you have in mind for a metal bucket? I think one would look great up there filled with greens for the holidays. I wouldn't put a lot up there. Instead use just a couple of large pieces. Maybe a glass jar with some colorful ornaments to add some light.Anita @ GoingALittleCoastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601157532080826275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-48180572490273994302010-11-30T10:56:16.685-08:002010-11-30T10:56:16.685-08:00I think an aged paint job would bring it to the up...I think an aged paint job would bring it to the up-date style of a great flea market find. Farm house French you can leave the hardware and prim them with a roll over of paint and then top paint it with a great color! Of course sand it a bit here and there for an old aged look. Sand extra around the handles for that time worn use of the piece. <br /><br />To top it off I would add some old collectables on top of it. Maybe an heirloom family piece, or a smaller old wood box, or wire basket. Think rustic and old, and less is more.<br /><br />See if your hubby is on board with painting it, also remind him that most PAINTED piece's cost more than a stain grade piece, as well as lasting less dated charm.<br /><br />xoxo<br />DoreBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412585995029504644.post-75775035623663561642010-11-30T08:25:12.475-08:002010-11-30T08:25:12.475-08:00Honestly, I'm terrified to paint it...I'm ...Honestly, I'm terrified to paint it...I'm afraid I'd ruin it & then I'd be stuck with an "eye sore"...
